While fighting the Japanese during World War II, the Americans believed that their enemies had skillful martial arts expertise and guarded cultural secrets in their fighting style.
The military then sought help from several martial artists such as boxers, wrestlers, and even knife-fighters, to teach hand-to-hand combat to American soldiers.
Still, there was one eccentric personality that stood out among them: François D’Eliscu. Both a piercing intellectual and a fierce warrior, D’Eliscu’s mentality changed the way soldiers trained in the US.
He once wrote: “Our enemies have been toughened, seasoned, and experienced to jungle fighting for a long time. They have been preparing for war – we have been enjoying a Utopian peace of mind. […] The French learned this too late.”

There is no such thing as a fair fight! Once you're off the playground you learn real quick…or not.
Well the ultimate dirty fight was the A Bomb
When American Was Great And Men Were MEN
My dad always told me that it’s called a sucker punch because you’re a sucker if you get punched. I’m not above snaking a dude when he isn’t looking if I feel the need.
The turkey narrating this is constantly out of breath , what the hell is he doing at the same time as he is talking.? Wonder if he finds this stuff sexually arousing ?
At first glance at the thumbnail, I thought Vladimir Putin was taking someone down.

Duh!
Nice guys finish last…
No quarter given, gets your ass home…
We were taught some of his garotte methods while serving in the army in 1983. Some were so simplistic that even a soldier with basic fitness and working at half capacity could get results.
Gosh it's just like WW1 never happened. Stupid premise. Americans learned plenty in the trenches; and the hard way.
Maxim 6: If violence wasn't your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.
I met a guy like this man. Dirty fighter. But never lost.
A truly Great Man.
In most close quarter combat scenarios one US Marine trained in such vicious hand to hand tactics would be the equal of 2 or even 3 elite & seasoned Waffen SS troops who fought along the Eastern Front!
And now we have crt, endless sensitivity classes on women’s rights gay rights and zero training on killing the enemy. We are fucked in the next major war we get into with an army worth a shit.
Will you do a video about American WW2 submarine war fare.
Fight dirty? There isn’t any Marquis of Queensbury rules in combat.
Is the historynet and MHQ article of Patrick J. Kiger connected to you, since you read it word for word with a few infos left out making 1600 injuries on record into 'in the thousands'.
There's no such thing as dirty fighting? One either fights or they don't.
Sounds like he was a great man!!
My old base Ft Ritchie was used to train commandos and OSS Agents.
This movie clip of training was done at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii.

December 25th 1776
Then those same Americans came home and said " That was awesome. … Now what do I do with all of this cool training? " and now we have MMA cage fights.
"Fighting dirty" lets see here revolutionary war lets put a 12yo in a tree with a long range squirrel gun and have him shoot the highest ranking officer he can find. Do you really think we would have become a country if we would have played by 1770s battle rules? They out numbered us 100 to 1…
Unless your a prize fighter, there’s no such thing as fighting dirty. I fight to win no matter what it takes.
Pray an act of perfect contrition everyday
Anything could happen in a war
So Inorder to win a war
Soldiers will use any tactic which is possible, dirty or clean it's soldiers mindset
Since the film The Dirty Dozen?
In a SHTF situation, morals and honor are a dead man's quality.
If japanese soldiers were judo black belts it wouldn't have went well for unarmed us soldiers. Just my opinion and a big if
4:54 "lemee show you something"- fire marshal Bill
Well duh, if they are only trying to kill you, you could at least be a gentleman about it.
HELL NO!
I wonder how good the US could’ve been if it taught Bruce Lee’s Tao of Jeet Kune Do and Maui tai and Krav Maga in it’s basic training.
Especially LerdSila too.
5:02 lmao imagine if this dude was just a super beefy closeted gay dude who was super into bondage.
My favorite thus far! I have trained many people how to overcome someone larger than themselves.
And this standard was lowered so when could join?
Interesting that thing with the rope was used by the turks in 1974 on greek cypriot civilians
