FAIRBAIRN PROTOCOL COMBATIVES

LEARN THE BEST IN SELF-DEFENCE

 

AUTHENTIC FAIRBAIRN GUTTER FIGHTING

Our Mission:
To provide YOU with the best Combatives/Self-defense capability available

As the founder and head instructor of Fairbairn Protocol, I bring over 50 years of diverse fight experience to you. Drawing on more than 40 years of specialized research, instruction, and experience, I teach the original authentic combative methods developed by W.E. Fairbairn, as taught by Fairbairn.

These are the same battle proven methods that made the ledgendary WWII S.A.S. and Commandos unstoppable. The same methods that can still be found in elite forces training today.

You can trust that every Fairbairn Protocol certified instructor is rooted in this same time-tested expertise. These are methods that have already saved lives. Through our training you can possess a real-world combative capability

UPCOMING FAIRBAIRN GUTTER FIGHTING EVENTS

FAIRBAIRN PROTOCOL - BERN CHAPTER

Bern, Switzerland 2026

 

DO NOT MISS THIS INTERNATIONAL EVENT

3-DAYS OF COMPREHENSIVE COMBAT TRAINING

COMBAT CAMP - FAIRBAIRN WWII GUTTER FIGHTING TRAINING

This event develops real combative capability.

Capability that matters when the people you love depend on you.

This is not about just memorizing disconnected techniques.

It is about awakening the part of you that already knows: you can act, you can protect, you can prevail.

This is owning the moment when you replace hesitation with certainty—when “maybe” becomes “I can.”

The cost of this event includes Training - Lodging - Meals

We are pleased to announce that we have planned a Fairbairn Gutter Fighting weekend seminar with Barry Drennan (Fairbairn Protocol, Canada) in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland for 2026.
