 My name is Sergeant Lee Askew. I'm with the MFRG 3G5. We're training the readiness. The King and the Ring is a combative sport that's dealing with knife fighting, grappling, but time. It's a very, very competitive sport that you test your skill and who you are. In order to win something, you've got to have the heart, you've got to have the drive, you've got to have the motivation. You've got to be fearless, mentally, emotionally, and physically. For the grappling portion, you're going to have throws, submissions, and overall control time. For the knife fighting, you're going to have non-lethal strikes and lethal strikes. King of the Ring relates to warfighting ethos and Marine Corps warfighting by combining the mind, body, and spirit. Reserve Marines are held to the same standard as active duty Marines across the fleet. You can't tell who is who and everybody is just a Marine.
