we don't put on fancy tournament and fight by rules. There are no rules in a real fight! Krav Maga
Reply:For Military, Guerrilla Type fighting is the best, which is followed, by all Armies meticulously. Credit for introduction of such type of war. is attributed to Che Guevara, of Cuba. This covers all types, including Martial Arts.
Reply:Heh.





Military units, even elite forces do not rely heavily on training a lot of hand to hand combat. We practiced some, we did a hybrid version of Gracie JJ, Judo, and Krav maga type techniques. You might work it once a week in some units, most of the time you spend very little time working hand to hand at all. Weapons tactics is what you spend your time training on. Shooting, moving, and communicating.





The idea is that you are never really going to get in an unarmed hand to hand combat situation that often, much less by yourself. You carry multiple weapons and train with them more than anything. The military spends more time on riflemanship or honing your craft with your weapons than anything else.





That being said, the U.S. military and Special Forces are constantly looking at the latest and greatest techniques out there and incorporate them into their training. Most elite forces spend about one day a month on unarmed combat, and that is mostly to help break up the monotony and allow guys to roll and spar with each other.





Hope that helps.
Reply:Military fighting styles focus on projectile weapons. Hand to hand is not really focused on. They briefly touch on it. The classes are very generic. They teach crude movements that are easy to use and teach.





Traditional martial arts goes into all aspects of the style. History, form, application, drills, training exercises, terminology, timing, distancing.


The arts are really studied under a microscope at the good schools. While there military does more of intro/ survey of type teaching style. The military does not really want their soldiers using hand to hand. They want them to immobilize the enemy from a distance.


We have several soldiers in our traditional dojo that show me stuff they learn in military training. We have discussed this in depth before.
Reply:the difference between military fighting styles is that they are training for war and in taekwondo they are training for tournaments too

Reply:Military people are preparing for real combat, and in real combat you would almost never find yourself without a weapon of some kind. So study of "empty-handed" martial arts such as karate or tai kwan do doesn't make much sense for soldier. If you are not interested in becoming a higly evolved human being through martial arts, but just want to be deadly, then I suggest you choose a weapon and then seek out training that will help you master that weapon. In all styles there are good and bad teachers, so find yourself a good teacher and that will help you become "the best".
