How to win in hand-to-hand fighting
As taught to the british commandos and the U.S. armed forces
W. E. FAIRBAIRN
PREFACE
The method of hand-to-hand fighting described in this
book is the approved standard instruction for all
members of His Majesty's forces. The Commandos,
and parachute troops, harrying the invasion coasts of
Europe, have been thoroughly trained in its use.
Britain's two-million Home Guard are daily being
instructed in its simple but terrible effectiveness. The
units of the United States Marine Corps who were
stationed in China between 1927 and 1940 learned
these methods at my own hands when I was Assistant
Commissioner of the Shanghai Municipal Police.
There will be some who will be shocked by the
methods advocated here. To them I say "In war you
cannot afford the luxury of squeamishness. Either you
kill or capture, or you will be captured or killed. We've
got to be tough to win, and we've got to be ruthless -
tougher and more ruthless than our enemies."
It is not the armed forces of the United Nations alone
who can profit by learning how to win in hand-to-hand
fighting. Every civilian, man or woman, who ever walks
a deserted road at mid-night, or goes in fear of his life
in the dark places of a city, should acquaint himself
with these methods. Once mastered, they will instil the
courage and self-ãåliànñå that come with the sure
knowl-edge that you are the master of any dangerous
situation with which you may have to cope.
The methods described in this book I have carefully
worked out and developed over a period of many
years. They owe something to the famous Japanese
judo (jiu-jutso), and something else to Chinese boxing. But, largely, they were developed from my own
experience and observation of how most effectively to deal with the ruffians, thugs, bandits, and bullies of one
of the roughest water-front areas in the world.
Although every method described in the following pages is practicable - and so proved by the author and his
students by years of experience, it is not essential to master them all. I suggest that at first you select about ten
which, for reasons of your height, weight, build, etc., seem most suitable, and specialize in mastering these
thoroughly.*
Do not consider yourself an expert until you can carry out every movement instinctively and automatically. Until
then, spend at least ten minutes daily in practice with a friend. At first, practice every movement slowly and
smoothly. Then gradually increase your speed until every movement can be executed with lightning rapidity.
I should like in conclusion to give a word of warning. Almost every one of these methods, applied vigorously
and without restraint, will result, if not in the death, then certainly in the maiming of your opponent. Extreme
caution, then, should be exercised in practice, care being taken never to give a blow with full force or a grip with
maximum pressure. But, once closed with your enemy, give even'' ounce of effort you can muster, and victory
will tie yours.

As taught to the british commandos and the U.S. armed forces
W. E. FAIRBAIRN
NO. 1 - EDGE-OF-THE-HAND
Deliver edge-the-hand blows with the inner (i.e., little-
finger) edge e hand, fingers straight and close togctlier,
thumb ext contact is made with the edge only, about
half-wav between the knuckle of the little finger and the
wrist, as shown in Fig. 1.
1. Deliver the blow with a bent arm (never with a straight'o arm), using a chopping action from the elbow,
with the weight of the body behind it. Practise by strildng the open palm of your left hand, as in Fig. 2.
2. There are two ways in which this blow can be delivered:
(a) Downwards, with either hand;
(b) Across, with cither hand; the blow always being delivered outwards, with the palm of the hand
downwards, never on top (Fig. 3).
3. Attack the following points on your opponent's body, delivering every blow as quickly as possible:
(a) The sides or back of the wrist;
(b) The forearm, half-way between the wrist and elbow;
(c) The biceps;
(d) The sides or back of the neck;
(e) Just below the "Adam's apple";
(f) The kidneys or base of the spine.
Note. - If your opponent catches hold of you, strike his wrist or forearm; a fracture will most likely result. This
would be almost impossible with a blow from a clenched fist.

NO. 2 - CHIN JAB
Deliver this blow with the heel of your hand, full force, with the weight of your body behind it, and fingers spread
so as to reach your opponent's eyes, as in Fig. 4. Always aim at the point of your opponent's chin (Fig. 5)
1. Deliver the blow upwards from a bent arm and only when close to your opponent. The distance the blow
will have to travel will depend on the height of your opponent, but will seldom exceed six inches.
2. Never draw your hand back, thus signaling your inten-tion of striking. From start to finish, make every
movement as quickly as possible.
3. Remember that an attack, or an attempt to attack, with the knee at your opponent's testicles will always
bring his chin forward and down.
Note.- Practise this blow as follows: Hold your left hand at the height of your own chin, palm downwards; jab up
quickly with your right, striking your left hsand, as in Fig. 6.
NO. 3 - BOOT (SIDE KICK)
With a few exceptions, you should
always kick sideways, for you arc
thus able to put more force behind
your blow and can, if necessary,
reach farther.
1. Turn your right side to your opponent, putting the weight of your body on your left foot. Bending your left
leg slightly from your knee, raise your right foot two to four inches off the ground, as in Fig. 7. Shoot
your right foot outwards and upwards to your right, aiming to strike your opponent's leg just below the
knee-cap.
