My personal mission: 

To Provide the Best in Self-defense 

Hi, I'm Barry Drennan, founder and head instructor of Fairbairn Protocol.

I specialize in the authentic instruction and practical application of W.E. Fairbairn's infamous WWII O.S.S./S.O.E. Gutter Fighting system. I have published three books, authored magazine articles, and bring over 40 years of teaching experience and more than 50 years of fighting experience to every course.
