Training to Fight a Marine

[E.C. Valdimar]

You know I've learned A LOT since I started posting here. Honestly posting and talking about things has help to lesson my worries of what might happen. I've trained harder and had a bit a fire lit under me to learn all I could about armied forces. Even learning about myself {Thanx Loren Chrstiensen}. Amazing People have sent me private messages actually telling me their stories. Stories of about the times they had to fight a Marine as well. And surprise, surprise. They are just Human. W/ hopes, dreams and weakness like me, too. One man said that he really thinks their main problem is in their famous saying "The few, the PROUD, the brave". And to be honest in my search of the net for videos I've got to say that I AM more impressed w/ the SAS and the Isreal Military then the young guys I see in the U.S. Marines.

If it sound like I'm talking bad about the Marines I'm sorry. But I think that for me I just need to get rid of the idea I had that they {or should I say he} is some kind of unbeatable guy that I need to fear. All Marines are not mean A**holes. But I do think this guy is.

just because you live in america, it doesnt automatically make everything from america better than everyone else. there are other countries in the world besides america, many with much more combat experience than us.

Semper Fi, Do or Die. I gotta go Bro, go see a Marine Recruiter. 5 of my best buddies in life were Marines. I Joined the Army because I didn't wanna face Parris Island. Peace Out Bro!! Remember this, the Army is for Hustlers and the Marines is for Killers. LOL

Maybe better at Marketing but not at Kicking arse. Look at how good they Market Krav Magra. Marketing Genuis. Dude, You obvioulsy don't know any Marines. Tell you what, go down to the Marine recuriters office and ask him to show you the application to be a Marine. Check out the Language. Then ask about the reputation of Parris Island.

as for marketing? israeli commandos have to fight terrorists and raid their hideouts every single day in their home soil. they are obviously going to have more experience than many of their counterparts in other parts of the world.

what about french legionares? how tough are those guys?

i think some israeli commando units may be better than most of our forces as well.

Dude are you on Dope. The Few, The Proud, The United States Marines the best trained Warriors in the Modern World.

[DickHardman]

Dude, not overseas marines, not merchant marines, not british or new zealand marines but Jarheads from the United States Marine Corps. Parris Island Dude!!

arent british marines actually better than ours?

[Hardball]

lol, that doesnt mean they are invincible.

Dude, We are talking about a U.S. Marine. Not just any Marine but a U.S. Marine. Nuff Said.

I'll bet the dude doesn't have eyes in the back of his head no matter how much he constantly checks his flanks. Get him after he's had a few drinks and his guard will be down some more. Hold 2 bottles so that if the first one doesn't KO him straight away you can hit him with the other, and then keep hitting him until he's unable to fight anymore.

He may be a Marine but he's not Superman.

One of the first things they teach in the Core is to constanly check your rear flank. Army infantry teaches it also.

So, where are you and this marine from. My little bro. is the same age and will be graduating bootcamp soon (hopefully), and I would hate to think you were going after family. Speaking of family that is what the corps is, you try to take one you'll find yourself outnumbered.

LOL No worries. This guy has already graduated bootcamp. He's coming back from over seas. And please, I'm not "going after anyone". I'm saying IF he get's out of control again I'm going to stand-up to him. And IF he throws blows I'm throwing them right back. I'm starting to learn that not all self-defense situations are against some thug in a dark ally.

Agreed with everything said above.

You should attempt to clear the air with said Marine and try to be on good terms. Be respectful and friendly; it will help your cause whatever the scenario.

What up guys. Truth be told eXcessiveFORCE I am trained. Almost two year kickboxing and Jeet Kune Do. Then sometime later I did Ninjutsu for another two years and now I'm in KRav Maga. I was just wondering if just because he's been in the Marines means he maybe a tough guy to handle if things get ugly.

And Mike Brewer I didn't give that example about MMA fighting to try and get people to leave me advice. I did it to make a point that I am being honest w/ you all. That guy Tom Yum seems to think that just because I'm asking this question that I must be lying. Well, my point was that I could have easily lied and gotten info. BUT I DIDN'T. That's why I have the MMA Match example.

Thanx everyone who is helping.

Watch out Bro, if things get ugly that Marine may snap out and croak you. Also, like I said above why don't you try and befriend him.

Getting in a cyber rumble with Tom Yum is not a good idea. He has been around a very very long time. TY is very level headed, why don't you try reasoning with him. Take it off the boards and send him a private message. Look at his post numbers. Try working on your diplomacy and tact. You training sounds impressive but that Jarhead's training will Trump yours everytime.
