About this Event
Step into the shadowy world of WWII special operations and learn the close-combat methods taught to the Special Operations Executive (SOE) and British Commandos.
This taster evening explores the brutal efficiency of the Fairbairn-Sykes system, developed by W.E. Fairbairn and E.A. Sykes, the men whose methods shaped Allied close-quarters combat training throughout the war.
On the night you'll cover the core striking, locking, and takedown methods of the Fairbairn-Sykes system, the iconic FS fighting knife and its combat applications, stick fighting against both knife and unarmed opponents, and sentry removal techniques taught for covert operations.
Designed to prepare agents and soldiers for real, life-or-death encounters behind enemy lines. Come and find out how it's done.
Open to martial artists, re-enactors, and history enthusiasts alike. No previous experience required.
