Déor-fýst
Déor-fýst (Hard Fist) is a modern martial art developed by Alric P. Fairbairn and Judd I. Blaec during the 840s AJ. It is a hand-to-hand combat system based on practical experience mixed with grappling and Wing Chun that was developed to train the Nova English Korean Police, and was later taught in expanded form to the Nova English Armed Forces and Special Operations Executive members.
Basic Principles
Déor-fýst encourages it's practitioner to end a confrontation as quickly as possible using "unfair" means by rapidly attacking vital area (such as the groin, throat, side of the neck, shin, eyes, ears, etc.) by using only several efficient and powerful strikes. These strikes are taught as a method and are not employed as disconnected isolated strikes found in traditional martial arts. Done properly, these strikes will "chain" at each other just like boxing. Déor-fýst was also designed to be able to be mastered in a mere days due to the extremely compressed curriculum to enable students the ability to defend themselves within a short period of time. Students are also taught to always take initiative, employ deception, and remain on the offensive. Déor-fýst is often practised through full contact sparring utilising extensive safety equipment to ensure that students can utilise the techniques under pressure.
Popularity
The system has retained extensive popularity within Nova England alongside Wing Chun. However due to the direct nature of the techniques utilised, it does not transfer into competitive sporting events. It also remains the standard hand-to-hand combat system employed by the National Police Force, Nova English Armed Forces and the Special Operations Executive.
