I heard that every year at the mega-martial artists' competition in DC, some black-belt super ninja makes a wrong turn somewhere (it's REAL easy in DC) and gets his rear handed to him by a G.

The military really does not spend as much time on hand to hand as most people think. I believe the marines spend more than most. Also what they teach you isn't someting you can really use sparing or even a bar fight without going to prison for several years.shikaku said:i dont know UFC has some pretty extreme guys, a friend of mines' cousin was in it, then went into the marines and in sparring he took down his instructor...
but i would agree that style specific tornaments are horrible because very limited and you already know what the other person is going to do
Yes... the USMC has a basic "MCMAP" (Marine Corps Martial Arts Program) which is based on Jujitsu. Usually how it works is... by the time your an E6 you are a class 6 black belt. Jujitsu is not the kung fu retarded junk (which is 100% useless in a real fight). Its a form of hand to hand combat... using pressure points and the use of edged weapons... eye gouges... chokes and "breaking procedures"... also known as bone breakers.ekaphoto said:The military really does not spend as much time on hand to hand as most people think.

Yea, good stuff, I took jujitsu several years ago. Aso my grandfather showed me a few things he had picked up over the years including from a friend of his that had been a ranger in WW II. All WW II rangers, commando's etc got fairban/sykes class of dirty deeds.Ballistic_Coefficiency said:Yes... the USMC has a basic "MCMAP" (Marine Corps Martial Arts Program) which is based on Jujitsu.

Many people think jujitsu is primaraly a ground fighting tenique due to the gracie brothers. It is not. It teaches a lot about ground fighting because many times street fights go there, but there is much much more than that.snowy said:I avoid the ground because you can't pick your ground when you are on the ground.
What if the ground is covered with used syringes and broken glass? What if I'm at a wedding and wearing a tuxedo? What if I'm in a river? What if I'm in an elevator with three other people?
I only like applications that work everywhere.
I will make your life miserable if you get me on the ground, but I'm not staying there if I have a choice.
