World War II combatives

World War II combatives

World War II combatives are close quarters combat techniques, including hand-to-hand and weapons techniques (bayonet/knife) that were taught to allied special forces in World War II by such famous instructors as Rex Applegate and William Ewart Fairbairn.

Some instructors teach or incorporate techniques based on these combatives still today in the Britain, Canada and the United States. Some examples are:
