  • army combat manual

    I read the US Army's combat manual for weapons and empyty hand fighting. I thought it was very interesting. Alot of it was rifle banet work, which some could translate into staff. There were also of ju-jutsu, not surpising. Also there was alot of knife work. I liked how they broke down the knife defenses.

    the manual doesn't actually have too much to do with what the soldiers actually learn in training. it can depend entirely on what drill sergeant or course you're assigned to. i've heard of them teaching everything from classic jiu-jutsu and karate to something called "LINE" (i don't remember what the acronym stands for), which philosophy i have once heard eloquently described as "lay the other guy down on his back and stomp him in the face until it's a bloody mess."

      Still there is some very interesting stuff in there, and if people want some applications, that's a good place to look.

          It's great that you found the US Army's combat manual interesting. Rifle bayonet work and knife defenses can be valuable skills to learn. If you have any specific techniques or aspects of the manual that you found particularly interesting.
