SOE The Secret Underground Army.
The Special Operations Executive (SOE) was the Allied sabotage force of World War Two. Its job - in Churchill's words the prime minister of the time - was to "set Europe ablaze" through the use of sabotage, insurrection and assassination.
Unarmed-combat was part of their training and was taught to the commandos, secret agents and irregular soldiers. They were taught how to be ruthless, lethal and covert in order to achieve their goal. The aim of this unarmed combat system was simply to be as brutally effective as possible. It was also a system that, unlike traditional Eastern martial-arts that required years of intensive training could be digested by recruits relatively quickly. The techniques had to work be simple and not rely on strength alone so they could be taught to both men and women agents who only had a very short period of time in which to learn them before being deployed into hostile territory. Here are just some of what they learned.
