Company description
Close Quarter Combat is largely recognised as the first scientifically researched fighting system and was born in the 1920's as a Police system for dealing with some of the world's worst criminals. The founder was William E. Fairburn, Assistant Commissioner of the Shanghai Municipal Police. He and his colleague, Eric Anthony Sykes, needed an effective system to teach their officers so that they could survive the harsh realities of the roughest seaport in the world. These men compiled thousands of violent arrest reports and analysed the data to produce what would later become the standard CQC instruction for the Allied Special Forces (including the British SAS), and what some experts regard as 'the most effective system of Unarmed Combat on the planet'.
