You may be right. They did have a LINE dvd training program at the Marine Corps museum store but LINE had been put together some time ago. They have since switched to MCMAP. It was a very educational experience going to the Marine Corps museum at Quantico, Virginia, I highly recommend it! They have been around since 1775, a proud tradition! They did have an Army combatives training dvd at Fort Bragg at the Airborne Special Operations museum but not volume 1 unfortunately, only volume 2.

I don't know how often he says such things. I did discuss with him a bit about the strength and speed of a gorilla compared to a human, but he said his superior intelligence and skill would win over those advantages of the gorilla. I'm just glad there is a concensus that this is a rather ridiculous claim.

Recently I visited the Marine Corps museum and was disappointed to not be able to find a MCMAP training dvd for purchase in their store. Does one exist? The" closest I've been able to find is an episode from the tv series "Human Weapon" in which they were trained in MCMAP during the episode (I own the dvd and it is worth having) I've searched on google and nothing has come up, is there a MCMAP training dvd?

I'm glad that there is a sane concensus that what the young man said to me was rather foolish. It should be kept in mind that he is young, young guys say things that are foolish sometimes. Hopefully he will become more mature and wiser as he gets older. He has something of a fixation with gorillas. One of his favorite lines is "eat like a gorilla" and he eats like one most of the time. He's actually an intelligent young fellow in some ways, he is majoring in a computer systems engineering program and doing well. At any rate, thanks for your responses.

I'm not sure this is the right place to post this, but the young fellow who told me he could defeat a gorilla with his hands and feet alone is a Shotokan karate brown belt, and has practiced Shotokan for six years. He is impressive, doing very fluid, balletic back high kicks and the like in front of me in a very flashy style. His contention is that the gorilla's greater strength would be offset by this man's skills in Shotokan and superior intelligence. I don't believe any human could defeat a gorilla in hand to hand combat unless the gorilla was very old or sick or debilitated in some way, due to the gorilla's far greater strength, speed and agility. But I didn't argue with the young fellow. Much of what he learned in Shotokan would not work, gorilla's don't move like humans. What do you think? All opinions appreciated.

I recently went on a vacation to the Marine Corps museum, the Airborne and Special Operations museum, the decomissioned aircraft carrier the Yorktown, very interesting experinces all. The Marine Corps museum located in Quantico, Virginia is great, my wife and I spent all day there and we didn't see everything, it's very large, very impressive. I was disappointed that they didn't have a MCMAP training dvd for sale at their store, I'm very impressed with the little I know about MCMAP. The Special Operations and Airborne museum is in Fort Bragg, and is good, not nearly as big as the Marine museum but good, I'd recommend it. The Yorktown was quite impressive, anchored in Charleston, South Carolina if given a choice I would serve on an aircraft carrier. At any rate, I've been away from formal training for some time. I don't have any idea if I can make the little I know work, no need to find out, I haven't been attacked. Well, that's all for now, I'm glad to be on board!
