FAIRBAIRN METHOD GUTTER FIGHTING - FIGHTING WITH A STICK

Fairbairn Protocol's Barry Drennan demonstrates William Ewart Fairbairn's Gutter Fighting method of Stick Fighting

Your simple, direct instruction is so clear, and makes sense immediately. Great job!

[miknelak]

Terrific instruction; clear, concise, well articulated and with the just right amount of enthusiasm. Possibly the best instruction, on the subject, anywhere on the Web! Well done.

[Mr-Keyes]

Thanks for answering my request, more information was packed in this 8 minute video than my so called " seal team stick fighting " 60 minute dvd.

I see some similarities to some of the Irish stick-fighting styles. These look like power strokes & fight enders. Also a lot of similarities to fighting while holding a rifle (w/ or w/o a bayonet attached) because of the palm up on the left hand.

Awesome content re W.E. Fairbairn. I was not aware of his stick fighting, but you have made it abundantly clear. An old shovel handle, about 3’ long is what I have had in my car in certain areas where gang activity is common. Shovel handles are of a very durable wood/hard to break. I never had to use my baton, but having it handy provided peace of mind. Thanks for this excellent video.

61, major heart attack 8/30/24. Practicing this stuff makes me feel capable again.

Looks a lot like bayonet training. Only thing missing was the smash. And the parries.

[rikkic]

Thank you for the effort you put into your videos
I can’t find a combative instructor near me
But I’m glad you’re here so at least I have some idea how to defend myself

[Occident.]

Well taught. Im saving this video for future reference. Im fairly fit athletic dude of 63, but a knee injury, means i might be using a stick more often. I can legally carry around a nice weapon to defend myself against any person or persons who might offer me violence. Thanks for great video.

I feel like this would be viable against a knife attack, because you can execute a hard stop, as opposed to swinging the stick, which gives the stabber an opportunity to rush inside. Just my two cents…

Gracias maestro por sus enseñazas desde honduras

[jessicahansen]

I would love to find someone to train with in the Fairbaine style. I live in SW Florida. PS thank you for the videos.

[albertwells]

What length would you recommend for the stick? Or is it more dependent on the size of the person using it?

[simontemplar]

IS THIS FROM HANDS OFF? I AM DISABLED NOW AND THIS LOOKS LIKE I WILL BE ABLE TO DO THIS WITH MY CANE.

[TobinHolz]

This is what I am going to teach when I retire. Right now I'm on the street. 'I could tip the world with a fulcrum' <3

[edi]

Without much weight, an edge, or a hammerhead, I do see an advantage for holding the stick this way. Plus, it neatly blends with working with a rifle as a melee weapon. However, if you're up against a blade, I'd rather use the stick in a more conventional style to gain reach and speed...

[Wombbatts]

When the giant cave bear is swiping at your stomach, move away if you want to keep your guts.

[ConceptArnis]

What about the straight forward bayonet thrust?

[fjb]

The coughs followed by "Excuse me" shows fine manners.
Saddly lacking today. . .
