WE TEACH FAIRBAIRN COMBATIVES

Our Mission:
To provide the best Combatives available for today's world.

As the founder and head instructor of Fairbairn Protocol, I bring over 50 years of diverse fight experience to our mission. Drawing on more than 10 decades of research, specialization, and instruction, I teach the original techniques and methods developed by W.E. Fairbairn. The same methods that created the ledgendary WWII Gutter Fighters, are taught by our instructors today.

You can trust that our instruction is rooted in time-tested authenticity and expertise.
