AT CLOSE QUARTERS
It is important to note that Fairbain taught a total system, including the use of impact weapons, edged weapons, firearms as well of hand-to hand methods. This “all-in” system is known by many terms. The SOE called it Silent Killing. Current military terminology prefers CQB, or Close-Quarter Battle. American instructors refer to CQC, Close-Quarter Combatives. Fairbairn called it “Gutterfighting” To quote Fairbairn….”You’re interested only in disabling or killing your enemy. That’s why I teach what I call Gutterfighting. There’s no fair play; no rules except one: kill or be killed”.Wartime exigencies severely limited training time. To traditional martial artists who think in terms of years of training the program seems ridiculously short, surely you can’t teach a system in a few hours? However, current research by training organisations such as Bruce Siddle’s’ PPCT indicates such thinking is 360ยบ wrong. In fact, if you can’t teach the system in a short time it probably won’t work in the street. In gutterfighting, less is more. Let’s look at a typical syllabus:-
  1. The edge of hand blow (known today the Axe-hand, familiar to Karate practitioners as Shuto)
  1. Tiger’s claw (A direct palm-heel strike)
  1. Chin jab (A palm-heel strike done as an uppercut)
  1. Kicking; the edge of boot kick
  1. Knee (delivered to testicles)
  1. Thunderclap {strike to ears}
Various wartime instructors taught additional strikes, such as Hammerfist, Elbow-smash etc, but even with these, the core syllabus was small, deliberately so.These strikes are very simple, but there are technical distinctions that identify real wartime training: 
FOOTWORK, taught to allow violent movement on uneven, or, slippery ground, rather than the martial arts equivalent suitable only for the gym 
WEIGHT TRANSFER, to increase impact. 
DENIAL OF REACTION TIME, all strikes were non-telegraphic, there was no preparation, no giveaways. Also use was made of masking. For example, Fairbairn regarded the eyes as a prime target, but they were never attacked directly, because of the natural defensive instinct. By using the chin-jab, or, Tiger-claw the eyes were attacked indirectly, but nevertheless, effectively.It was W.E. Fairbairn’s thought that if an individual mastered these methods of striking, he would be able to effectively deal with any unarmed opponent, only if the person applying them used them in combination and in a strong attacking manner.




From above, Tiger’s claw (A direct palm-heel strike) and Thunderclap {strike to ears} and from below Guillotine - these are assassins’ deadly combat moves used against innocent civilians.
