This introduction of 'The Fairbairn Fighting System' during World War 2.

William Ewart Fairbairn was a soldier, police officer, and exponent of hand-to-hand combat method, the Close combat, for the Shanghai police between the World Wars, and allied special forces in World War II.

He developed his own fighting system known as Defendu, as well as other weapons tactics. Notably, this included innovative pistol shooting techniques and the development of the Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife.

I dunno, any martial arts system that doesn't include

is for pansies.

I like that last one, its called Kote Gaeshi, although I'm sure they called it something else. And you don't possibly break the wrist, you should always break the wrist, unless practicing. The second technique is Judo shoulder throw, Kukyo Nage. The first one looks alot like Xing yi Splitting, I like the added knee.
