OKINAWIANKARATEKA Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I plan on joining the Corps after college, and I heard that they had a Martial Arts program that you can participate in on your spare time. I was wondering if any of you have heard of this or have had experience in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.A.L Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 according to sensei Lindsey it's very unpractical since they add lots of BJJ to the program, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nago Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 The Marine Corps martial arts program is a good fighting system, but it is taught in marine corps manner. usally not in ur spare time. they try and get as many people to make "grade" as soon as possible to meet quotas. therefore i dont believe the total benefit of the program is ever learned. when u do get some spare time in the corps ur not gonna want to spend it rolling around with other marines. I was in the corps for 10 yrs as a sniper and have been studying uechi-ryu karate on okinawa for 18 yrs. there is no comparasion to a traditional style of karate, but it is not a bad system.

JimmyNewton Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 even though it might not be the most traditional of styles in the core. I would think any kind of training would be better than none at all. Plus The brazilian jujitsu will only give you more tools to choose from. I say go for it.
