FAIRBAIRN GUTTER FIGHTING IS CAPABILITY

Our Mission:
To produce 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 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.

No proof stands stronger than results!
