SoulAssassin Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 What styles do you *know* or *think* the military trains in? I think this would be a good debating topic considering the military ''uses the most deadliest force'' -SoulAssassin"I aint gonna eat, I aint gonna sleep, aint gonna breath till I see what I wanna see and what I wanna see is you goto asleep, in the dirt permanently" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiFightsMS Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 The marine corp has a special system they have developed. I includes not only hand to hand skills but various weapons. Those who survive basic training graduate with a tan belt. http://www.mcu.usmc.mil/TbsNew/Pages/Martial_Arts/Default/mainbody.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJS Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 The Militarty trains in a variety of things..our miliatary uses a mix of BJJ, Muay Thai and TKD I belive..atleast thats what I hear alot. The Israeli Defense force Trains in Krav Maga and so do a Few elite US special Forces..including the Delta Force. I honestly Belive Krav Maga Is proabably the Best Choice For the Military.

SaiFightsMS Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 It is a common practice among many military units to take advantage of different martial art schools in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilo Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 When I was in the Army unarmed combat training was an 8 hour block of instuction over 3 days. It involed chokes, falls, and throws thats it. Airborne was the same. Now in Ranger school we got some training in BJJ. and more time to work with other people. Kendo is like starwars and everyone gets to be Darth Vader."Luke, I am your sensei" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenStar Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 MACMAP is the martial arts program that the marines follow. there is a ranking system - the first belt is tan, the second is gray, and you can progress beyond that. From what I've heard from various marine friends, the emphasis varies. I've got one friend who is doing mainly standing and ground grappling, and I've got another friend who is doing mainly striking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Fighters Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 I read an article in kung fu magazine about the militarys martial arts. I dont remember what the system was called but heres some info.They use muay thai knees, elbows and roundkick. Strikes from karate and kung fu. Pressure points and joint locks from shin na. Ground fighting from bjj. Grappling, arm bars and chokes from jui jutsu. Throws from judo. Weapons training from Kali/Escrima, And they practice firearms (duh!). This system would be extremely effiective for street use, and it is probebly the most cross training art in the world? The downside is that it takes 40 years to master (yikes!).
