Rex Applegate was one of the main guys, as was W.E. Fairbairn. They looked at martial arts during WW2 and tried to strip away all the inneffective techniques, as well as the unessentials. What was left was a very small syllabus of real nasty stuff, and that what they trained.
The problem learning a self protection system such as this isn't just how to ensure you come out of a fight alive. It is how to deal with the legal fall out when you blast the guy into the next world........
