Hi everyone,

For the Army combatives training, how much jiu-jitsu is involved? Do we go stuff like the triangle choke, kimura, and classic jiu-jitsu moves? I read somewhere that they do some combatives training in PT, but I only saw one devoted day to combatives on the current schedule.

From what I've seen there is some jiu-jitsu, but also a lot of "judo-like" throws. Any help would be appreciated.

We start with 5.56, move up to 7.62, then apply C4.

Does the Navy have a martial arts system? I´ve read a little about the systems for the Marine Corps and the Army, but I never hear anything about the Navy

Sorry, no martial arts for us Navy guys. We might hurt ourselves. 😀

Do you consider Chinese drunken boxing a martial arts style?

They site a lot of things there from which they created Army Combatives. It's more MMA than a single style.

One more: Matt Larson was the guy who basicaly revived Army CQC training. Wikipedia describes his training, and likely his take on Combatives:

When i was in Basic Training in 2001, it was a bunch of grapling techniques designed to get you in the advantageous position (not necessarily on top) and make your opponent pass out or die as quickly as possible.

It hasn't changed too much since then, except that it has become a bigger part of the "warrior ethos" and is something we did more often in PT as a unit rather than just while in training.

I took the course (level II training I think it was called) to be a combatitives instructor when I was a 2LT...I went through the course with 25 reserve infantry drill sergeants who were called up to active duty to be AIT instructors. 1) they were pissed 2) most of them were law enforcement and were pissed 3) when we did round robins and each of them got their chance to beat on the lone officer in the class...I was hurtin, that was perhaps one of the worst things that I volunteered to do while in the army.
