  • often i find that the second world war instructional videos show far more effective techniques than what we see nowadays

  • You got that right. Today us soldiers are learning how to roll around in a safe, gentle, strict rules Gracie Jiu Jitsu crud. Like our enemy will abide by rules! Absolutely terrible. I prefer this stuff.

  • @specialforces69 First damn MMA guy to admit it. God damn that earned my respect.

  • I am actually learning a lot new things they never showed me at the gym.

  • @specialforces69 What i find MCmap is too complex and praticed too little. the WWII combatives was simple and was tested in combat and was effective, now a sysem that is more coiplex is effective but takes a great deal longer to master. if you teach a young recruite to fight in the short amount of time. use the KISS method. Keep. It. Simple. Stupid. I not calling anyone that but all members of the US Armed Forces Know the saying. why dont we use that in teaching Combatives.

  • beautiful, thanks for uploading =)

  • having trained in tae kwon do, shorin ryu karate, Marine corps Line trainning, and MCmap, the truth is that when trainning a large amount of troops a less complex system is needed the OSS,SOE, trainning of WWII fits the bill I recomend reading Kill or be Killed by Rex Applegate, Get tough, by Faibarn, and recent book Modern hand to hand by Iraq war veteren Hakim Isler. these series of films a a good intro to combatives, that are simple and effective if time is spent praticing with other arts.

  • @specialforces69 Makes sense.

  • @specialforces69 Right, right. So what they teach is useless on it's own?

  • @specialforces69 Point is, you have to be capable of fighting both ways, because fights are seldom on your own terms.

  • @specialforces69 IF you're strong enough. Trying to do too much at one time can be a recipe for failure.

  • @sausaage123 Actually, I see a lot of parallels to our modern-day combatives. WW2 was really the invention of modern close combat.
