USMC MA's
the new USMC program is MCMAP or Marine Corps Martial Arts Program. There was an article about in Inside Kung Fu I think. And it is no longer optional for Marines, it's required even though they aren't part of SOCOM. My cousin is taking the instructors course. He says much of it BJJ with some striking, throwing etc. When he first started the program he said it would be 8 hours a day everyday for 2 or 3 months. I think thats for the asst. instructor or some shiznit.
Anywho, I'm out.

Self-defense is only an illusion, a dark cloak beneath which lurks a razor-sharp dagger waiting to be plunged into the first unwary victim.
Whoever declares that any weapon manufactured today, whether it be a nuclear missle or a .38 special, is created for self-defense should look a little more closely at his own image in the mirror. Either he is a liar or is deceiving himself.
Wing Chun kung fu is a very sophisticated weapon--nothing else. It is a science of combat, the intent of which is the total incapacitation of an opponent. It is straightforward, efficient and deadly. If you're looking to learn self-defense, don't study Wing Chun. It would be better for you to master the art of invisibility
