I'm 84 years old and have studied marital arts from age 9. I still give private lessons and it is extremely rare that I find anything new in martial arts that I would ever use or teach. Your technique of clamping yourself to the attackers body is something I've never seen. You sir are one of very few martial arts instructors that I respect and admire. Who say's you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I intend to immediately incorporate this technique into my classes. Thank you for sharing this great technique.
The clamp should ideally be a ballistic strike [dropstep stamp the ground for power] in very close timing with the head strike, either to the kidneys or lower spine [better for takedowns] or the base of the skull. I recommend Kevin Secours' vids on "feral clinching" and the "bear trap", as well as Lee Morrison's vids on the same rapid striking into head clinching.
You're tutorials are far more inline with the WWII Fairbairn methods than any other public online personality. Your fellow Canadian Bill Wolfe is a Hapkido expert who claims to teach WWII combatives but it's really modified from his Hapkido background.
I just did a couple of seminars in Bern Switzerland. One for people who already instruct some type of combat and a second that was open to the public. For added info should you be accessible to Bern we have a Fairbairn Protocol Certified instructor active in Bern.
I sincerely wish you were based in the UK! I've been interested in Defendu for years and own various books manuals on Mr F's wonderfully effective and ruthless system of fighting. I'd love to study it with a professional instructor like you Barry!
Nice! Your vid came up on my feed and I am delighted to see someone teaching Fairbairn's methods. I teach Gutter Fighting in the UK. I am working on a new website which should be up in a month or so. I have the Gutter Fighting domain name and I want to get Fairbairn's system out there to a wider audience. I too like to bridge with the "tiger" to close distance. Or my other favourite is to strike the carotid with a straight thrust using the edge of the hand, to bridge the gap if there is distance, or just as a very fast, invisiblestrike at close range. Often used stepping in to intercept and disrupt my opponents timing. Glad your video came up as it is nice to see a kindred spirit at work.
Have you actually used a chin jab/palm strike and a chop in a real situation? The reason I ask is all the books I've read about real violence, people used the closed fist the majority of the time. I personally have used closed fists in real fights and broke my hand only once. The only books I have read where open hand strikes were used extensively are Street Karate and Battle Axe. Both are by John Mcsweeney.
I personally practice both. I feel like a fist is small enough to slide through little openings, open hand is very heavy and thudding. Like the old boxing adage " lead with speed, follow with power"
I survived 14 calender years in a violent CCA/CoreCivic privatized prison. I was a martial artist with a strong base in western boxing and judo, though cross trained in other arts/systems, prior to prison. My first month in the penitentiary I had to fight off three prison gang members simultaneously. I resorted to bareknuckle western boxing and dominated the fight but suffered a life changing boxers fracture made worse by denial of adequate medical care. Being no longer able to strike with a right fist I was forced to modify my western boxing to use tiger claw strikes with boxing mechanics (very much like Bas Rutten did in Pancrase bouts) and I was able to hit harder without breaking my hands again. And I was able to achieve knockout power using carpal bone strikes. I also dropped a few larger threats with a shuto uchi strike. But you must know the medical science and correct anatomical targeting for shuto uchi to be effective. And you must have standing grappling training for when they clench with you, shoot for a wrestling single or double leg takedown or rugby tackle you. These strikes are effective but you must train standup grappling and boxing defense.

Thank you for this Video, Sir. I live in Germany and a fan from your Fighting Style. It's very important knowledge for survive in a real street fight.
