'Defendu' is a practical martial art that uses both a gun and a baton. It was invented early in the 20th century by an English officer in China, who combined martial arts with police weapons to create an effective way for police to defend themselves and suppress riots. It's great for situations where a gun isn't necessary but it's still good to keep one handy; it's also perfect for enclosed areas or close-quarters fighting where a melee weapon can be more practical at times.
Later on, Defendu was developed further and introduced to the military; the baton was replaced with a knife and the style became known as "CQC", short for close-quarters combat. Many of you will have heard of it thanks to Metal Gear Solid 3. CQC was of enormous help to British soldiers in the trenches during the war; they were easily able to overwhelm their opponents who had not been trained in it.
Now, it's a set of techniques used by practically every army and police force in the world.
'Defendu' is a combination of the words 'defense' and 'kung fu'.
Edit: Incorrect spelling of 'defendu'
