I can really only go on whats printed in readily available sources and its a semi nitche subject, outside of the main manuals you can find anyway. And since Paladins press went under, rex applegates books is harder to find. I dont really keep notes or annotate sources, and i usually read in a reference way, so i fish out things to read to check on things.

That's true of Defendu, but this seems your approach to martial arts in general.

Just source from the originals. The manuals aren't that hard to find if you google. Here's one:

Another:
Scientific Self Defence (Defendu) - W.E. Fairbairn 1931 - [PDF Document]

Here's a reprint for $15

I spent vastly more than that buying antique boxing and wrestling books.

Well footwork is shown, its just not a subject of its own.

Why don't you explain the footwork as you understand it?
