Marine Corps Martial Arts Program. The Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP, /ˈmɪkmæp/) is a combat system developed by the United States Marine Corps to combine existing and new hand-to-hand and close quarters combat (CQC) techniques with morale and team-building functions and instruction in the Warrior Ethos.[1] The program, which began in 2001, trains Marines (and U.S. Navy personnel attached to Marine units) in unarmed combat, edged weapons, weapons of opportunity, and rifle and bayonet techniques. It also stresses mental and character development, including the responsible use of force, leadership, and teamwork. History[edit] During World War I these bayonet techniques were supplemented with unarmed combat techniques, which often proved useful in trench warfare.
Between the world wars, Colonel Anthony J. Biddle began the creation of standardized bayonet and close combat techniques based on boxing, wrestling, savate and fencing. Structure and belt system[edit] MCMAP Belts An instructor-trainer displays his belt. Model Mugging. Techniques and training[edit] Model mugging training involves students role-playing and sometimes fighting through a variety of assault scenarios.[4] Students are taught physical defenses, methods of avoiding or defusing potential assaults, verbal defenses, and decision-making under the pressure of such situations.[5] During the simulated assaults, heavily padded instructors, often referred to as muggers,[6][7] accost, grab, or directly attack a student, who may respond (if they believe a physical response is appropriate for the situation) with full-force attacks to the padded instructor.
The emotionally charged nature of the scenarios combined with the full-force nature of the fighting tend to create an adrenalized state[4] similar to that of someone facing a real assault. The adrenalized nature of the training is intended to teach the student how to think clearly and respond in adrenalized situations.[8] References[edit] Jump up ^ McCaughey, Martha (1997). External links[edit] Jeet Kune Do.
Jeet Kune Do, also Jeet Kun Do, and abbreviated JKD, is an eclectic and hybrid martial art system and philosophy of life founded by the martial artist Bruce Lee[2] (1940-1973) 1960 with simple and direct, or straightforward, movements and non-classical style. Jeet Kune Do practitioners believe in minimal movements with maximum effects and extreme speed. The system works by using different "tools" for different situations, where the situations are divided into ranges, which is kicking, punching, trapping, and grappling, where we use techniques to flow smoothly between them.
It is referred to as "a style without style" or "the art of fighting without fighting" as said by Lee himself. Unlike more traditional martial arts, Jeet Kune Do is not fixed or patterned, and is a philosophy with guiding thoughts. It was named for the concept of interception or attacking while one's opponent is about to attack. System and philosophy[edit] Lee's philosophy[edit] Principles[edit] Straight lead[edit] Kajukenbo. Kajukenbo is an American hybrid martial art. The name Kajukenbo comes from the original arts of which it was composed: KA for Karate, JU for Judo and Jujutsu, KEN for Kenpo and BO for Boxing.
Today, Kajukenbo is practiced all over the world in many distinctive branches. [citation needed] Unlike many traditional martial arts, students are not required to mimic their teacher, but are encouraged to develop their own "expression" of the art. Each branch continues to evolve their training, adopting and taking in the techniques of many other martial arts. While different, each branch shares the view that self-preservation and defense is at their core. History[edit] Kajukenbo was founded in 1947 in the Palamas Settlement on Oahu, Hawaii. In the late 1940s, the Palamas Settlement was a violent area where fist-fights and stabbings were commonplace. The emerging style was named Kajukenbo. Emperado's Kajukenbo[edit] One example of a Kajukenbo crest Modern Kajukenbo[edit] Ranking[edit] Branches[edit] Gouging (fighting style) Rough and Tumble or Gouging was a form of fighting in the back-country United States, primarily in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Also known as rough-and-tumble fighting, it was often characterized by the objective of gouging out an opponent's eye, and typically took place in order to settle disputes. Though gouging was common by the 1730s in southern colonies, the practice was waning by the 1840s, by which time the Bowie knife and revolver had made frontier disputes more lethal.[1][2] Though it was never an organized sport, participants would sometimes schedule their fights (as one could schedule a duel), and victors were treated as local heroes.[2] Gouging was essentially a type of duel to defend one's honor that was most common among the poor, and was especially common in southern states in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.[3][not in citation given] Noses, lips, and genitals, could be disfigured in these fights, but Gorn notes: Jailhouse rock (fighting style) Jailhouse rock or JHR is a name which is used to describe a collection of different fighting styles that have been practiced and/or developed within US penal institutions.
The different regional “styles” of JHR vary but share a common emphasis on improvisation governed by a specific set of underlying principles. Some examples of the many styles of JHR are 52 Hand Blocks, Brick City Rock, Comstock Style, Stato. Many of these styles of JHR are thought to have evolved regionally in different penal institutions.[1] 52 blocks has been referenced in journalist Douglas Century's Street Kingdom: Five Years Inside the Franklin Avenue Posse, as well as numerous Wu Tang Clan songs and Ted Conover's book Newjack. The existence of this martial art has been debated, but some media exposure has contributed towards verifying the existence of Jailhouse Rock.
The name 52 may be a reference to the playing card games of 52 Pickup and to the expression "let the cards fall where they may. " Greg Jackson (MMA trainer) Jackson was born in Washington D.C. to Kris and Jim Jackson, who were Quakers originally from the Midwest. Jackson and his family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico when he was three years old. Jackson came from a family of wrestlers (his father, brother, and uncle were all champions in the sport) and he also grew up in a rough neighborhood. Because he needed to learn how to defend himself, Jackson began learning the martial arts. While the young Jackson was occasionally passive in fighting, he would also be an aggressor in brawls and was suspended from school on more than one occasion.
In 1992, after graduating from Rio Grande High School Jackson founded his own martial art, Gaidojutsu, which combines rudimentary techniques from wrestling and kickboxing with basic judo locks. He then developed his art by adding techniques from other styles such as wrestling, grappling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and kickboxing. His school officially turned into an MMA school in 2000.[1] Emerson Combat Systems.
Emerson Combat Systems is a form of modern combatives designed by Ernest Emerson. The system is based on Emerson's accumulated 35 years of study of martial arts and combat and incorporates empty hand training as well as use of weapons from knives and sticks to rifles and pistols. This system is taught to military, law enforcement, and civilians.[1] History[edit] Emerson Combat Systems was developed as one of numerous eclectic martial systems that arose in the 1980s. Rather than teach individual philosophies and parameters of different fighting styles that he studied such as jeet kune do, jiujitsu, boxing, and escrima; Emerson took elements that he thought were useful from those arts and presented them as part of a system.[1][2] Philosophy[edit] An important component of Emerson Combat Systems is developing what Emerson calls "the combat mindset".
Emerson's presumption is to treat all attackers as if they are armed. Regimen[edit] Emerson demonstrates an elbow strike in training. Combatives. Combatives is the term for hand-to-hand combat training and techniques within the United States military. History[edit] Sometimes called Close Quarters Combat (CQC or close combat), World War II-era American combatives were largely developed by Britain's William E.
Fairbairn and Eric A. Sykes. Also known for their eponymous Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife, Fairbairn and Sykes had worked in the British Armed Forces and helped teach the Shanghai Municipal Police (SMP)[1] quick, effective, and simple techniques for fighting with or without weapons in melee situations. Similar training was provided to British Commandos, the First Special Service Force, Office of Strategic Services, Army Rangers, and Marine Raiders. In August 2007, MAC training became required in every Army unit by Army regulation 350-1. Modern Army Combatives[edit] New soldiers begin their Combatives training on day three of Initial Military Training, at the same time that they are first issued their rifle.

First classes[edit] Okazaki's school was founded in Hawaii. Seifukujutsu[edit] The seifukujutsu was Okazaki's gift to honor the traditions of martial arts, from which he derived benefit in his initial study of martial arts after arriving in his new home of Hawaii. "Upon completing about a year of study," Okazaki wrote in his Esoteric Principles (contained in the Mokuroku scroll given to his pupils who mastered his system), "I acquired a body of iron" (paraphrased), so he dedicated his life to the study of martial arts and the healing techniques associated with each style he took up.
World War II and later[edit] Shortly after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, on December 7, 1941, Okazaki, along with many Japanese, was interned for six months. Today[edit] The American Jujitsu Institute[edit] The American Judo and Jujitsu Federation[edit] Oom Yung Doe. Oom Yung Doe (음양도; 陰陽道) is a line of martial arts schools founded by John C. Kim (Grandmaster "Iron" Kim). In addition to teaching a broad range of physical movements and self-defense, the training also incorporates meditation, philosophy, and the use of herbal formulas and equipment. Some students describe substantial benefits including self-defense skills, mental and physical health, and improvements in conditions such as asthma, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis,[1] and blood pressure.[2][3][4][5] Critics, however, accuse the school's founder and instructors of unethical behavior, charging large fees, and pressuring students to commit to long-term contracts.
Beginning in the late 1980s, several TV and newspaper reports publicized these accusations, and described the school as a "cult. Lineage and history of Oom Yung Doe[edit] John C. Training[edit] Oom Yung Doe practitioners describe the techniques taught within the school as "moo doe. " 8 Martial Arts[edit] Medical benefits[edit] John C. Collegiate wrestling. Collegiate wrestling, sometimes known in the United States as folkstyle wrestling, is a style of amateur wrestling practiced at the college and university level in the United States. Collegiate wrestling emerged from the folk wrestling styles practiced in the early history of the United States.
This style, with some slight modifications, is also practiced at the high school and middle school levels, and also among younger participants, where it is known as scholastic wrestling. These names help distinguish collegiate wrestling from other styles of wrestling that are practiced around the world such as those in the Olympic Games: freestyle wrestling and Greco-Roman wrestling. Collegiate wrestling, like its international counterpart, freestyle wrestling, has its main origins in catch-as-catch-can wrestling.[1] In both styles, the ultimate goal is to pin the opponent to the mat, which results in an immediate win.
Contrast with the international styles[edit] History[edit] 20th century[edit] Special Combat Aggressive Reactionary System. Special Combat Aggressive Reactionary Systems (SCARS) is an American combat fighting system created by Jerry L. Peterson.[1] Founding[edit] SCARS is based on sciences of psychology, physiology, physical movement as well as research on the nervous system. SCARS was developed by Peterson after serving two tours in the US Army 173rd Airborne Brigade during the Vietnam War.[2] It was debuted in 1987,[3] and began to be taught to various military, law enforcement, and security units, such as the Arizona State police.[2] Currently, SCARS is taught through private seminars, larger scale contracts, online training and DVDs. The program is based upon the idea that every human body reacts in the same way to specific injuries, and the program puts together various strikes to specific nerves, bones, and organs in order to debilitate an aggressive individual.
Government personnel training programs[edit] SCARS Manual cover SCARS was initially presented to the Department of the Navy in 1988. [edit] Chun Kuk Do. Chun Kuk Do (CKD) is a Korean-based, American hybrid martial art style. Founded in 1990 by Chuck Norris, CKD evolved from Tang Soo Do and combines elements from several different fighting styles. "Chun Kuk Do" is Korean and is loosely translated as "The Universal Way. " [1] Norris trained in various other styles under some of the most respected instructors in the United States. These instructors included Tang Soo Do instructor Shin Jae Chul, Shotokan Karate masters Tsutomu Ohshima and Hidetaka Nishiyama, Shitō-ryū Karate instructor Fumio Demura, American Kenpo Karate founder Ed Parker, Judo expert Gene LeBell, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu legends the Machado family.
Each summer the United Fighting Arts Federation (UFAF) holds a training conference and the Chun Kuk Do world championship tournament in Las Vegas, Nevada.[2] Code of honor[edit] Like many other martial arts, Chun Kuk Do includes a code of honor and rules to live by. Forms[edit] Schools[edit] References[edit] External links[edit] Shootfighting. Shootfighting is a combat sport and martial art, with competitions governed by the International Shootfighting Association (ISFA).
Shootfighting incorporates techniques from a multitude of traditional martial arts, the most principle of these being Muay Thai and Catch Wrestling. Shootfighting was previously used synonymously with mixed martial arts competitions in Japan, as opposed to shoot-style professional wrestling competitions. This usage of the term is retired from common usage because it became a registered trademark of Bart Vale, who uses it to describe his hybrid fighting system derived from shoot wrestling. However, it is still sometimes used colloquially. Examples which were once considered shootfighting styles, tournaments or organizations are Pancrase, Shoot boxing and Shooto, where many fighters still considered themselves to be shootfighters. History[edit] The word "shootfighting" was however coined by Bart Vale, an American with a background in wrestling. Rules[edit] Close quarters combat. Shuri-ryū. Bok Fu. Sli beatha. Bojuka.
