Most know the taller masked officer at the beginning of the film and demonstrating the pistol disarming is Capt. Rex Applegate. He was a graduate of the British Commando School in Scotland.
When I was a teen, I read a book about the OSS. One agent, in a long German military coat, entered a bar in occupied France. He looked at the German officers, opened his coat, pulled out two guns and opened fire. He then fled to a waiting car. The OSS also operated inside Nazi Germany.
Court Street, Jacksonville, NC training consists of fierce resistance to 36-month payment plans where the contract on your new stereo made it impossible to pay the entire and/or remaining balance at your convenience (such moves consist of you secreting the pen away--a cargo pocket is the preferred method--while telling the salesman you'll have to sleep on the offer first).
As mentioned below, the OSS agents wore masks to protect their identities for any upcoming behind enemy lines missions, should the enemy see the film somehow. Needless to say, the masks were often used in films and TV shows after WWII, perhaps they were war surplus and in plentiful supply, or the masks may have been based on an existing civilian design being adapted for OSS use..
About disarm techniques,i think that a OSS agent dont have a chanche:try to disarm and risk to be killed or don t try and be sure of to finish tortured and killed.other Times,other brains,other situations.but they was very motivated and trained people,agents or soldiers.but today learn similar techniques to pacific,quiet people it s really dangerous for me.excuse me for my not perfect english,thank you for this precious footage
yes you need to remember the context of this training .if your stopped by the gestapo and you know the games up and your in for a torture session and execution you might as well have a go ....
I don’t care who you are or how badass you are, it’s just impossible to disarm someone without the gun going off or getting shot, either way your going to be in for one hell of a struggle!!!
The man who wrote most of the training books on Allied hand to hand combat had been a policeman in Shanghai. If anyone knew whether and, if so, how it could be done, it was him.
The one who created all these techniques is William E Fairbairn, he was a Shanghai policeman in a red light district, it is known that he has fought in approximately 500 or 600 street fights, having many knife scars on his body, so he has more experience in street combat than your average mma fighter for which I bet you suck at talking about fights, no friend, not everything that works is mma.
@Colt Wayne You mean the kind of guy who's in a heightened adrenal state where the slightest move could cause him to pull the trigger? Blink and it would be over.
@Colt Wayne Saying you were born with few nerves so you don't feel much pain implies I wouldn't fair so good in say a fight against you, it was a dumb joke
00:14 Occupational & physical therapy for octagenarians with terminal dementia has come along way since 1892. Here, a clinician gingerly deploys the now-defunct "planting" therapeutic technique, which when properly administered, would render the patient temporarily incapable of wandering off in a fugue state for a fortnight and having all sorts of hilarious mishaps and adventures under the unshakable weaponized delusion that it's 1818, by taking a leaf out of Mother Nature's book, and committing the remains (or lower extremities thereof) of the dead (or very soon to be) to the bosom of the earth (or _"mud.")_
Ya I know! It’s just really hard for us but we are going in the whole thing to get out! First time you pick it out from your work center and then you can go to your store to get it!
Self-defence is very simple, it's a matter of being physically fit & condition, knowing where to cause injury and damage, and taking an aggressive approach instead of being in the defensive. Few people expect an attack and fewer still expect a counterattack. That's how it works!
Insane to think that at one point the army training was “Grab the gun, G. Hopefully it’s not single action” I love the masks. Was that a real security concern thing or just a jest at the training department?
I went prepared with these killer techniques and skills......and my opponent came with an Ak ,.........and just with my single hand ,I finished the fight and signed the peace treaty with my opponent...😁😁😁.
" How to get shot in the groin... ".....Step to the side, as you grab, pull down and they pull back.... Instinctively....Then push back giving them their own momentum, as you twist it, and them. If that sounds complex, it is not. A wrestler would do this automatically. But, better NOT TO BE CAUGHT BY SURPRISE in the first place. ( Koga method ; '80s ...I never like his methods)
Anthony Quintiliani system was developed in Shanghai when W.F. was Chief of police. learned from experience, and by input from his officers. not a Bleddy Brit. AKA, stay drunk and get through it.
He was a black-belt Judoka under Jigoro Kano himself, as I understand--and also he apparently studied Chinese boxing in Shanghai. Baguazhang, I believe. There's a double chin jab technique that he advocated as a self-defense move for women, and his pivoting footwork in the pistol disarm from the rear, these things seem to indicate a slight Bagua influence, as opposed to Judo/Jujutsu--at least, from what I have heard. The rest was probably from his own research and experience, especially when dealing with the Triad gangsters of Shanghai.
@@lestersalvador2022 I read somewhere that when Fairbairn was studying at the big Kodakan dojo founded by Jigoro Kano Fairbairn was working out in a room reserved for "our foreign friends." The big man Kano himself came walking by and noticed Fairbairn working out in the room specifically reserved for foreign students. Kano was quoted as saying something to the effect of: "bullshit, Fairbairn works out in the main hall with the rest of the mainstream Japanese students. His technique is just as good as any man's in the house." Everyone sees what Fairbairn is showing the soldiers. Remember, that most of the WWII recruits were young and outside of Western boxing and wrestling most Americans had little reference knowledge of martial arts period. Furthermore, in 1941 hardly anyone in the United States knew anything about Eastern martial arts. Fairbairn had to get these guys ready in a short period of time. I wish Fairbairn had left behind detailed manuscripts of his Chinese martial arts training.
Try a little experiment. See if you can pull you trigger finger before the instructor goes from a hands up position to knocking the gun away. I think you will find that you shoot your prisoner 100% of the time.
Makes more sense though when you read OSS, what was the life expectancy of a captured spy in ww2. worth a try rather then being tourtured for information and killed anyway
Going off the basis of that the guy holding the gun isn't in kill mode but I want you to surrender mode and it is quite possible to do such a thing. You're taken by surprise. If you're expecting it to come then you'd pull the trigger as soon as he blinks or even thinks of moving. Also if he was in kill mode with that gun in his hand you'd be shot before you had time to put your hands up.
Fairbairn explains it in his book: the wide spread arms and hands are a impeditive to the enemy keep your both hands inside his field of view at same time. You begins the disarm with the hand more distant from enemy's eyes.
The kosh looks similar to a telescopic police baton. I thought it was invented in America the police baton that is but I guess not it originates there.
I suppose those disarm techniques are fine if the person is stand 18” from you and hasn’t shot you yet. What about where they are standing 15 feet away? Isn’t that the whole point of a pistol anyway? 🤷♂️
did you , im just glad that in the mid to late 70's in nyc it came back by way of the many products being sold from Soldier of fortune magazine it was a good investment of books and videos which also lead me to quitting college and enlisting in the Corps and many other ventures
The techniqe is faster now Hands near the gun But any instructor worth anything will tell you to never do this with a loaded gun because the gun can go off
This wont work and is outdated information. No one should ever try any of these firearm disarming tactics under any circumstances, however a chin strike with the palm of the hand will disorient your attacker and give you time for a follow up strike or a quick retreat if possible.
Wow I feel really bad for anyone trying to use most of these techniques in a life or death situation. It's like he watched a Bruce Lee movie and thought I can do that... Edit.... i know the guy was a bad ass im just saying that some of this shit lookes goofy as hell. Also Ther is a reason they have updated there training since then.
killzin shadows these guys did use these moves to kill people not sayin joe blow should watch this video and try them but they are effective im sure with the proper training
@@tbonepumper5623 Yea I'm shure if I trained on how to kill someone with a potato for 10 years I could be effective at killing someone with a potato.... But that doesn't mean it the best choice ya know
Cause it's not like this guy trained the precursor of the CIA and the british secret service with these techniques, and it's not like he didn't study multiple martial arts before developing them, and it's DEFINITELY not like he participated in more than 500 street fights prior to developing these techniques...right?
funny you mention bruce lee but you maybe 1' of the many who didn't know that besides acting since the age of 11' bruce lee wasn't a competitive fighter
Very basic applications, given that the average male of the 1900's was in better shape than today's, and those simple techniques would have been sufficient enough..
i'm pretty sure those guys in the film have killed more people than you Tim ....yeah it's not as flash as Jason Bourne or John Wick but this is real life
@@bigtony4829 I'm pretty sure those guys in the film have killed nobody at all. Not with those techniques, certainly. All they've done is read a manual written by a necktied goon and played their part on camera. There is no value to what they show here in a real fight, where the other guy is dead-set on killing you. This is all academic technique, academic stuff. It's the sort of stuff you show your girlfriend when she asks you to "show her something", knowing fully well that she'll never be in any position to defend herself. Who are Jason Bourne and John Wick? I've never heard either name.
OK I wasn't going to say anything. This system was used by both the British and American armed forces. There wasn't time to teach a long coarse they had about 120 days to teach codes, explosives and sabotage etc. They needed something that would be absorbed quickly and still be lethal. This "primitive shit" has accounted for more combat enemy deaths than all other systems combined. It worked in Korea as well. Vietnam was the beginning of more sophisticated systems. In the late 90s and early 2000s both the marines and army studied all known martial arts and they selected what worked and came up with each branch having their own system. Both systems have at the core boxing, catch as catch can wrestling and modified Brazilian Jujitsu. Not designed for sport but to kill an opponent Still at its center is Fairbairn's system.
@@timrandall9479 From a self defense perspective, the problem today (in Europe at least) is that many of the more hardened criminals are MMA fighters. Things evolve...
Most of the agents were on a one way trip and they knew it ...When your caught and know it's all over and they will torture you and either shoot you or hang you with piano wire you kind of have nothing to loose .Some of these techniques look silly because we are used to watching John Wick kill 6 guys with a pencil but the simple techniques could save your life
I feel like these videos are all fake. Like someone made them in modern times in order to make some sort of artsy project. It just doesn't look like its from the 40's.
Why doesn't it look like 40's?? What makes ye think so??

connor vaughn not fake my ignorant friend. My father was an Original member of the First Special Service Service Force; and these were some of the moves that he was taught. As children, my father taught us many of the moves. I disarmed my new father in law.. he was 6’4” 240lbs. I was 5’4” 105lbs... it was glorious to see the shocked look on his face. My father in law had been an MP.. there are stories of MPs attempting to man handle FSSF and being sent packing
@ You and I are the last of our breed. We knew those men. They were our fathers, uncles, and parents of our best friends. To a man, they were quiet and often humble. No one knew who they were, or WHAT they were unless it became absolutely necessary.
