Re: KRav is best suited with boxing and MT

I’ve done a little BJJ. Combatives in the Marine Corps are not the worst thing, but by no means the best. You’ve only got so much time to teach a very large amount of people simple moves that could be executed while wearing body armor and carrying a weapon. Many Marines see the MCMAP program as a great thing, and it is, but access to the instructors and instructor-trainers and open time in the training schedule do not match up most of the time, unless there is a reason to run a belt advancement course. From the start they learn basic punches, kicks and some takedowns and throws. At each belt level they teach several techniques in standing, ground, takedowns and concerning weapons. Some belt levels emphasize more of one of those areas more than others but they all contain a piece of each. Additionally they use tie-ins and case studies to try to get a complete package instead of just a machine that knows the techniques. They use the Spartans and the landing at Iwo Jima as examples. The intent is to build character alongside technique. They also tie-in professional military education to expand the knowledge of the Corps and of their own specialties alongside their character and fighting abilities.
From experience, the techniques are simple enough to execute and easy enough to do while wearing a fighting load, with a weapon. They won’t make you an expert in any one area, but if practiced to the point of muscle memory they will make you a very competent fighter.
The best training Marines could get would be the MCMAP Instructor Course or the Instructor Training Course. For more info on MCMAP you can check out http://www.tecom.usmc.mil/mace/ The website has information about the program as well as information about combat conditioning. I recommend this for info purposes only, not to be used as instructional material or a program of instruction to follow and train with.
