tessone Posted May 31, 2002 Posted May 31, 2002 http://www.usmc.mil/marinelink/mcn2000.nsf/main5/45727A9083DB966085256BCA00580821?opendocument I ran across this today on the USMC website and thought it was pretty interesting. Are there any servicemembers on the site who've seen this or studied it? Chris TessoneBrown Belt, Kuk Sool Won
Knuth Posted June 8, 2002 Posted June 8, 2002 I leave in Feb for San Diego. I'll post what I think when I get back. My recuiter loves it and is apparently very good at it too, he has been in the infantry for 13 years and loves the blood and guts stuff. Perfect guy to be my recuiter I guess. Semper Fi
SaiFightsMS Posted June 8, 2002 Posted June 8, 2002 There are many more marines with excellant frames of mind. The marines work a lot with the mindset of their young recruits. Values training is an important part of what they learn. There has been many different types of fighting arts taught to militairy people through history. The codification of an art designed specifally for situations that will be encountered is a real step forward.
Bitseach Posted June 10, 2002 Posted June 10, 2002 Interesting, although I think the one silliness is the inclusion of belts within this system - why use the civilian eastern martial arts uniform guidelines when there are already many fine military progress systems in place? (especially when the belts are Tan, then 1st - 6th Dan!!!) Also, as every soldier has to learn self-defence and by the end of the course one is a "total marine" what does that say about the other marines - are they inadequate? Surely by the time one has completed one's Marines training and has a bit of experience one should have the necessary skills anyway? Certainly with things like bayonet skills, marksmanship and hand-to-hand combat I'd expect that of any soldier who's been through Basic Training.

HarvesterofSorrow Posted June 11, 2002 Posted June 11, 2002 My cousin recently started training in MCMAP. He says there is a bunch of jiujutsu(sp) and some other stiking diciplines. I'm gonna visit him in a few weeks and see whats goin' on.
Bitseach Posted June 11, 2002 Posted June 11, 2002 Harvester - not tempted to join him? LOL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~My karma will run over your dogma~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HarvesterofSorrow Posted June 12, 2002 Posted June 12, 2002 maybe in a few more months I will agree to some friendly sparring with him, but as of now he can still make me is biatch
