I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR REPLYS,THE POINT I'M TRYING TO MAKE IS THAT WE NEED A MORE COMPREHENSIVE FORM OF COMBATIVES.I'VE BEEN THROUGH SOME BATTALION LEVEL COURSES EVEN TAUGHT IN SOME OF THEM.MY AREA OF KNOWLEDGE IS KNIFE AND STICK FIGHTING.I'M JUST TIRED OF SEEING SOLDIERS BEING FOOLED INTO BELIEVING THAT THE GRACIE METHOD IS THE BEST SYSTEMOUT THERE.ONCE AGAIN I WELCOME ALL REPLIES..

THERE IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN GETTING TO ME FOR A WHILE NOW,IT'S THE CURRENT HAND TO HAND INSTUCTION FOR THE ARMY.FOR SOME REASON THE TOP BRASS THINKS BJJ IS THE WAY TO GO,NO IT'S NOT I'M SORRY TO SAY.A SOLDIER NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH AN ENEMY SOLDIER(S)QUICKLY AND EFFECTIVELY,BY LIMITTING THEM TO THE GROUND IT'S A GOOD WAY TO GET THEM KILLED.I KNOW I'M GOING TO GET FLAK OVER THIS TOPIC,BUT IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.AS A SOLDIER I REALLY CAN'T SEE MYSELF ROLLING AROUND WITH ALL MY GEAR ON,WHICH SOMETIMES WEIGHS AROUND 45LBS TO INCLUDE A BUTT PACK FILLED WITH STUFF.YES WE CARRY WEAPONS,BUT I'M FOCUSING ON AN URBAN WARFARE SCENERIO WHICH MEANS CLOSE QUATERS.YOU MUST ALSO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE GROUND WHICH YOU ARE FIGHTING ON,WEAPONS AT AHND BOTH NAUTRAL AND MANMADE,ONE NEEDS ONLY TO WATCH"SAVING PRIVATE RYAN"TO SEE WHAT I MEAN,I'M REFERIN GOT THE GROUND FIGHTING SCENE.ONE DAY DURING COMBATIVES I ROLLED WITH A GUY WHO STUDIED BJJ,HE TOLD ME HE WAS GOING TO MAKE ME TAP,I REPLIED HE WASN'T GOING TO MAKE ME TAP,HE ASKED WHY I PULLED OUT MYN SPYDERCO AND SAID BECAUSE I JUSTED STABBED YOU IN THE KIDNEY,SEE MY POINT..I WOULD WELCOME OTHER THOUGHTS ON THIS TOPIC.REMEMBER MAKING AN ENEMY TAP WON'T EARN YOU POINTS..IT MIGHT GET YOU KILLED..
