Ka'imi fairbairn full name

By all outward appearances, William Ewart Fairbairn was an unassuming British policeman. Yet the Hertfordshire native was actually a savvy martial arts master. Besting opponents in hundreds of violent street fights over a 20-year period, he earned the epithet “Fearless Dan” and went on to train commandos and special agents during World War II.  

Remembered today as an expert in “silent killing techniques” by the U.S. National Park Service, Fairbairn was an unlikely lethal genius. Short, slender and ordinary in appearance, he did not give the outward impression of being deadly. He followed an unusual path to gain mastery of martial arts. Born in England in 1885, Fairbairn served as a Royal Marine and eventually joined the Shanghai Municipal Police (SMP) in 1907. The streets of Shanghai were tough. Local gangs tended to be armed with knives and often had the advantage of martial arts training. The odds of survival were naturally stacked against Fairbairn, who began his career as a constable in a hotbed of gang activity while assigned to a red light district.

William Ewart Fairbairn is one of the most badass martial arts masters the world has ever seen. In addition to developing the basis for the martials arts systems used by cops and special forces across the globe, he also invented the SWAT Team, came up with the idea of riot police, invented the police officer's tactical bullet-proof vest, and created the knife that was used by the SAS, Army Rangers, and Marine Raiders in World War II. He also survived over 600 non-training street fights in his lifetime as a police officer and was allegedly covered from face to ankle in scars from knife wounds he received in life-or-death battles with dirtbag criminal scumbags on the streets of Shanghai.

Fairbarn was born in 1885 in Hertfordshire, England. As a young man he spent his spare time reading newspapers to his blind neighbor, at fifteen he took a job as a leather worker, and the day he turned sixteen he saw a recruitement poster for the Royal Marines and decided, fuck it, I'm going to enlist. Unfortunately for Fairbairn, the enlistment age was eighteen in England at this time, bu

The Legend

INTRODUCTION

A few years ago most persons in Combatives circles would have shaken their head at the mention of his name. A little later some of them would nod but the knowledge was limited. Now it seems that the world and his brother is quoting Fairbairn chapter and verse (often wrongly) in order to further their own goals, some of them completely at odds with what the man himself tried to achieve.

The mans name is bandied about on e-mail lists, internet forums and his “thoughts” used to promote systems or ideas he was neither involved or would be interested in if he was still around to argue.

Some of the very people who “use” him in this manner cannot even spell his name correctly: here’s a hint - it should read “Fair Child” not “Fair Stream”.
