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."
