I went through Army hand to hand in the 1970's ( Vietnam era ) We were taught various techniques, but told to never try and "think ahead". In a life and death struggle, when your opponent makes a mistake or gives you an opening you will "flow" into the technique needed for that instant. The main difference that I have noticed between H2H and traditional martial arts is intent. Hand to hand is meant to kill or maim in the shortest amount of time. Fortunately for me, what few "dust ups" that I have had since becoming a civilian, were able to be resolved without having to seriously injure the aggressor. I hurt them...but they survived. Perhaps they learned not to underestimate an old man.
Also I wasn't there, but I know the military for the United States used a lot more karate in the 70s. It seems like the 40's stuff was a lot more Kung Fu

Tommy love what you do. The problem is with any long combination. You can never guarantee where someone is going to be moved to react after the first strike which is why you need the ability to perform any combative move at any time of asking which I know, you understand you’re just showing us the system, which I’m sure is good for building up motor skills.
One of the saddest things to me is that Dermot "Pat" O'Neill nerver put his techniques to paper. I wish we had an extensive volume of his teaching from WW2 and later.
This seems quite similar to what Charles Nelson taught in NYC for decades Nelson was a US Marine in ww2 and learned self defense from another Marine who had been stationed in Shanghai during the 30s The system was created by Dermot O'Neill a Deputy Inspector in the SMP and former member of the RIC The " Attack Pattern" Charles Nelson taught was 6 strikes in succession and finished with either a arm lock or a throw This method was based on concepts of Chinese Guerilla warfare I practiced it for 5 months back in 2010
Did you call that Perrigard's D5 5 drill? I have the same book (in PDF) and I think what you describe is the unarmed "blow power" in Chapter 4. Is there other Arwrology publications?

I agree with your training. train with various strikes and when the time comes don't think just re-act, NO Mind.
A lot of supposed traditional martial arts are actually very sportified. The further you go back the further you realize the techniques arent pretty.

Could you go into more detail about charles nelson attack pattern?
Yup...This is one of..If not the best..Self defense/combative channel on TH-cam...Books are pretty good too..
Lee Morrison's Urban Combatives is the best channel on YT IMHO, but he doesn't have the Victorianaphilia going on at the same time.
Very nice content bro, you look the part too.
