Bill Wolfe & Doug Farenholtz.

(Doug Farenholtz is the creator of POPAT and former Director of Physical Training for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.)

MODERN DEFENDO CQC

Following Bill Wolfe’s military service, Wolfe went into Police service as a S.W.A.T. Team Leader and Instructor, Arrest and Control Tactics Instructor ,Officer Survival Instructor and Firearms Instructor. During this phase of his career, he made hundreds of violent offender arrests and found most Police self-defence and firearms training lacking in content and reality.

As a result, Wolfe adapted his experience with research information provided by Mr. Doug Farenholtz (POPAT) on Police assaults, to the "DEFENDO" system. With the assistance of Harold Stairn and Dennis Wolfe, and using Fairbairn’s own format of scientific development, Wolfe applied current and modern data to the "DEFENDO" system, modernizing it for Police service and applying it to the teaching of tactics to his S.W.A.T. Team.

Today, MODERN DEFENDO has become recognized world wide, as one of the most effective systems of personal protection for Police, military and civilian applications. No other system can offer MODERN DEFENDO's history, scientific research or battle proven effectiveness for more that 70 years.
