Does Every Marine get trained in the Martial Arts Program?

MuayThai is better

Theres one thing that sets the things taught to marines and other martial arts out there, Marines are taught to kill.

@chelsea4life11 It does in a relative way, see as technology evolves and war becomes every day more of "pushing a button" it matters less and less wether it is a male or a female to push it. The days of hand-to-hand combat and cqc are long gone, making physical strength useless IMO.

@Fred111000 it does when your in the field m8!! Physically men will be able to acomplish more as our bodies are built that way... If this wasn't the case, then females would have the same physical standards as men

Why is it that Master Gunnery Sergeant Franklin is in EVERY Marine martial arts video? lol oorah Master Gunny!

@chelsea4life11 I am male and your statement is incorrect , the equipment provided by modern armies makes being a man or woman of no importance.

@chelsea4life11 They're in combat armor, so Jiu Jitsu is far more appropriate for them. I still put my money in Krav Maga the most, however.

@itchykami MCMAP & Kajukenbo are very good for overall self defense..Jiu Jitsu does not work on pavement
lyoto machida
go tell him his karate doesnt work
standing locks are better for knives since it involves controlling the weapon hand.... you know like how it would be on the battlefield ...

well don't be so quick to write off traditional martial arts as obsolete. for one thing, BJJ has great ground work, but almost no throwing or standing locks and self-defense. second, boxing only utilizes the hands, were karate uses all of the body. second of all, in sport martial arts you only learn how to fight one person, while in traditional and street oriented martial arts teach you how to be aware of everything. this also goes for armed assailants. thanks for your input, though, God bless!
