The system of knife fighting presented in this manual has been used to train tens of thousands of men and women for more than half a century. It originated in the 1930s in Shanghai under the direction of Lieutenant Colonel William Ewart Fairbairn, then Assistant Commissioner of the Shanghai Municipal Police. These techniques were subsequently modified by practical experience gained and practiced during World War II by British and American soldiers and marines.

Content is lean and rather a book for collectors of knife fighting literature.
