Combatives were not just taught to soldiers and spies several books were published during the war for civilian self defence as well.

We had a fantastic time teaching at the York School of Defence event, ATAY2025, this weekend.

A big congratulations to TA Davide, who won the Judges' Technical Prize in the Pugilism competition! 😃

Gun disarm gone wrong

Elbow push, clout to the back of the head and pushed out of disarming range.

Playing around with drawing the knife from different grappled positions. It's great practice and you'd be amazed how often people fumble drawing the knife.

Grip variations on a Fairbairn Sykes knife. Not all of these were recommended but there will have been occasions where all were used.

Chin Jabs at our first ever session.

One of the key points was to grip the pad after the strike which in reality would be to claw the face or to gouge the eyes.

Stick retention: Get your stick back then make them regret their life choices.
