MACP - Modern Army Combatives Program - is a mixed combatives system with techniques, drills and principles from BJJ, Judo/classical Ju-Jitsu, Western Boxing, Thai Boxing, and stick, knife, and bayonette fighting. There is also some training in field-expedient weapons as well.

Fort Belvoir is putting together an brand new state of the art Army Combatives Training Center. It should be up by August. I'm going to try and become a level 3 Combatives Instructor as soon as possible to start training Coasties in this outstanding program for hand to hand combat. They will be offering these courses for free to the Coast Guard as long as we give back by becoming certified and helping them with thier training courses.

There are four different courses taught at the Combatives Center:

Combatives Train the Trainer -- Skill level 1: a 40-hour, one week course. It is tailored for developing the instructor base necessary to get basic combatives to every soldier. Students learn to teach the techniques of basic combatives. The Army's goal is to have one skill level 1 trainer per platoon.

Combatives Train the Trainer -- Skill level 2: an 80-hour, two-week course that builds on the skills introduced in the basic course. It is tailored to teach the more advanced techniques which illuminate why the basic techniques are performed as they are as well as the teaching philosophy/methodology of the program. The Army's goal is to have one skill level 2 trainer per company.

Combatives Train the Trainer -- Skill level 3: a 160-hour, four-week course that builds on the skills taught in the previous two courses. It is designed to take the skills that have been until now been stand alone, and integrate them into unit-level training. The Army's goal is to have one skill level 3 trainer per battalion.

Combatives Train the Trainer -- Skill level 4: a 160-hour, four week course designed to provide master trainers. The Army's goal is to have one skill level 4 trainer per brigade.

Trainers at skill level 3 or higher are certified to teach all courses lower than their certification level.

Skill level 1 and 2 courses are now usually taught and participants certified at the unit level.

Skill level 3 and 4 courses are usually held at Ft. Benning, GA.

A Soldier who has a level 3 certification can certify other Soldiers to be skill level 1.

Soldiers who are skill level 4 can certify other Soldiers to be skill level 1 or 2.
