The link is to the website of IPDTA, which is owned by a Swedish police officer named Slavo.
He is running the courses--basicly hiring me to teach them-- and he is the man to contact for more info.
WW2 combatives is a buzzword for the type of silent killing that was taught to the British Commandos (Fairbairn system) and that was taught to the Marines in the PTO (Biddle system)
And no, it is not for reenactors but for those seeking easily acquired skill for close combat.
I will also soon be offering similar classes throughout the USA.
Here is a link to more info on the WW2 systems
