“Light, Wind & Motion” – 3rd Edition

Description

LIGHT, WIND & MOTION — Third Edition

Light, Wind & Motion is a definitive textbook for Fairbairn Gutter Fighting.

Light, Wind & Motion is FAIRBAIRN’S WWII GUTTER FIGHTING.  Light, Wind & Motion provides an instructor-level examination of Lieutenant Colonel William Ewart Fairbairn’s World War II combat methods and the fighting system that became known as Gutter Fighting.

Drawing primarily from methods developed and taught by Fairbairn himself, the book examines a close-combat system designed for the realities of violent encounters at close range. Rather than presenting techniques as isolated movements, it explains the principles that connect them into a unified fighting system based on speed, decisiveness, disruption, and exploiting an opponent’s vulnerabilities.

At the heart of the Light, Wind & Motion are three fundamental objectives: disrupting an assailant’s sight, breathing, and movement. These principles provide a framework for understanding how Fairbairn’s methods were intended to work together as a cohesive system.

With very few exceptions, the techniques examined are drawn from Fairbairn’s original methods. The emphasis is therefore on preserving the character, structure, and combative intent of the original system rather than replacing it with modern interpretations.

The Third Edition also includes a new section, “Achieving the Battlefield Mindset,” examining the mental dimension of effective close-combat performance.

For students, instructors, researchers, and serious practitioners, Light, Wind & Motion offers a detailed look at one of the most distinctive close-combat systems to emerge from military experience.
