In this special Martial Edge series, we reproduce the martial arts techniques of the US Armed Forces and British Commandos from the Second World War as recorded by Major W. E Fairbairn in 1943. His ground breaking manual Get Tough was published in New York and London. Extreme caution advised…

You are seized from in front by the throat.

1. With your left hand seize your opponent's right elbow from underneath, your thumb to the right.

2. With your right hand, reach over his arms and seize his right wrist

3. With your right arm apply pressure downwards on his left arm; at the same time, with a circular upward morion of your left hand, force his elbow towards your right side. This will break his hold of your throat and put him off balance

4. Keeping a firm grip with both hands, turn rapidly towards your right-hand side by bringing your right leg to your right rear. Follow up with edge-of-the-hand blow on his right elbow

Note. - All the above movements must be one rapid and continuous motion.

Major W.E. Fairbairn recorded the fighting techniques of British and American Special Forces during the Second World War.
