I haven't looked through all of the level two videos. I believe the real stand up instructions happen in level 3.

@madgtr1972

You use the same tired arguments that can be found anywhere, reality says that every fight goes to the ground at some point. Greg Thompson, H2H director and founder and my coach for 2 years teaches weapon retention and control on the ground to soldiers everyday

I apologize for the repost.

Please understand I don't mean any disrespect or anything about my earlier comment, I just know from actual fights that you don't want to be on the ground at all because the ground can be a deathtrap especially if your fighting someone bent on killing you , the ground grappling doesn't give consideration to someone pulling a knife or some other sort of weapon. If your using two hands to restrain someone's left or right arm , that in it's self can be a deathtrap for the Army H2H practioner.

@madgtr1972 I still don't get how they are missing striking their eyes or throat. This is nos combatives, this is the input of sports inside the military to recruit children.

[madgtr1972]

This type of self defense training will do nothing but put our U.S. soldiers in a dangerous situation, this type of techniques are not designed for the battlefield it is designed for sport end of story. If anyone thinks otherwise they are sadly mistaken. WWII Army Combatives blows this stuff out of the water, and no the WWII Combatives is not outdated, because what works will always work. There are just people that wanted a changed but change is not always better. Not the best way to deal in H2H

ugh this video is old. I was hoping It would refresh my memory for tmrw, since I'm in level-2 but some of these steps are way different from what I was taught today

@jgreystoke, the whole eye poking, groin grabbing thing can be done with BJJ also.

but you can't realisticly train full speed that way, there for one would be less likely to make those techniques work against an agressive resisting opponent who trains at full speed.

@PVTstupid My criticism still stands. Anyone who sees themselves in EITHER position in the above vid, and does not immediately think "eyes, throat, testicles" is not going to win a real fight, ie the other guy is out to kill or cripple you(even he's smaller and weaker). The Marine LINE was deemed too aggressive, because it typically ended in the death of the opponent. Not a problem. If you want to interrogate the guy, then stomp on his collar-bones instead of his temple/throat.
