In the US Armed Forces, as in other NATO countries, the preparation and training of hand-to-hand combat is an independent section of combat training of military personnel, regulated by governing documents and charters.

About the combat training system in the US Army

Sergeant Instructor




Today, it is in the American army that the most developed system of training for this type of battle exists (from all NATO countries). At the same time, almost all military personnel are trained in hand-to-hand combat, including sabotage and reconnaissance units (rangers) and special forces units.

Only in this episode of Rud & Co, viewers will learn firsthand how the training of hand-to-hand fighters in the American army is conducted.

A US Army sergeant who teaches hand-to-hand combat at the 25 Infantry Division in Hawaii will tell you a little about himself, how he became an instructor, and dwells more on the three stages of combat training. In addition, the authors of the video raise a number of issues related to injuries and the training of American military personnel in hand-to-hand combat, will present some guidance documents on the basis of which fighters are currently being trained. In particular, the presence of the so-called master course is noted - especially for American instructors who train other military personnel during hand-to-hand combat classes.

    Pretty well. Although of course this is primarily necessary to educate the strength of mind of the military. In modern b / d rupshoy battle is the rarest exception.

      it is not a matter of fortitude. hand-to-hand combat is primarily the education of certain skills in a person. effect on motility and reaction. the ability to gather in a stressful situation. as I was taught, you are not taught to fight and not afraid to answer at the right time) self-control is what matters most.

          My instructor said - forget everything that you were taught in civilian life, everything that you saw in the movies, you have one blow and you must either knock out your opponent (finish off or run away) or immediately kill .. And that was the most difficult thing .. forget what you taught in civilian life .. support, avoidance of strikes at dangerous points .. (Adam's apple for example .. a strong blow there can be fatal). Jiu is just a collection of "forbidden" strikes ... and there is not even strangulation ... If you grab your head, break it, grab your hand, break it ...

        The best of all is a Kalashnikov assault rifle.
        After saturating the troops with automatic weapons, hand-to-hand combat turned into a category of wonders.
        Like in a bearded anecdote about a paratrooper who, to use his bare-handed combat skills, must fall in love with a machine gun, bayonet knife, sapper shovel, helmet, find a site without stones and then find the same gouging from the enemy’s side.
        For a modern fighter, offp and cross are more useful than hand-to-hand combat.
        As the saying goes, a fighter must shoot like a cowboy, and run like his horse.
        But from a psychological point of view, hand-to-hand combat is really useful.

          Well, how can I say .. We had a warrant officer in the company. They sent from Havana for scuffle .. He was in Afghanistan three times. An appointment and two calls of the castle platoon ... reconnaissance .. He said that they entered the village in the raid .. and something he was told ..- fasten the bayonet .. He fastened it .. He enters the house, and there the barmaley picks up a machine gun for firing .., the ensign misfires., there’s no time to pull the shutter .. He just threw the machine gun at the barmaley, .. the bayonet broke that sternum. Therefore, during a divorce, he constantly bruised us for dirty bayonet knives .. He said - you are animals, look at your bayonets .. this is a biological weapon Ie .. You will cling to them and die in terrible agony ..

            The grenade needed to be thrown first.
            Or at least walk in pairs, covering each other.
            Situations, of course, are different.

              Here you are a couple .. the first one enters the doorway .. and sees the barmaley raising the trunk there .. what should the second do through the back of the first?

                  As far as I understood him, he threw the machine gun from the hip .. as a bayonet strike only the machine gun flew further.

                    If this is not a duel, but a battle, they should cover their own in such cases, he is not alone in the open field.
                    And what would the machine throw from the hip, and even get in such a way that the gyoid cell is damaged, the silushka and skill are needed, rarely anyone can, so not everyone will even leave a stick

And from a distance of 1.5-2m it was possible to hit the board with a bayonet .. Although I agree, you need either a skill .. wild stress ..

                        Rather, an accident. And to build training on chance is not very true.
                        But coordination in battle allows this to be avoided.

    He served in the All-Russian Physical Training. Preparation - morning exercises on the parade ground and everything, in the company of a casualty every day (a day without scuffle was in vain), for two years once a regiment ran a cross 5 km to the finish line reached 10% hp. But a bread-cutter in the regiment drove moonshine (from stolen sugar) and it was possible to buy 4 varieties of anasha without leaving the barracks. here she is combat training and the cultivation of fortitude.

    in all martial arts there is strangulation, even in those where there is little space for hands (for example, taekwondo)
    and choke even with their feet. As for the mortal strikes, it is very dangerous to stay in a state without brakes for a long time when you do such strikes without looking. This leads to aggressive sociopathy and, as a consequence, the inability to even be a soldier.
    A normal warrior always clearly and calmly calculates his actions.
    Killing a person is very simple. It’s much harder to kill only when necessary.
    The main essence of martial arts is the training of skills to overcome difficulties and control your strength.

      Jiu Jitsu is a historically martial art of samurai .. there was a time when their swords were fragile and often broke (they even have a sword technique because of this characteristic). As a result, the warrior remained on the battlefield with a short sword .. instead of a large one chances. No one in the battle will not choke. They’ll just kill it. Therefore, in combat juju techniques are instant and crippling ..
      Of course .. now this fight .. is refined .. is it .., but specialists are taught exactly the real Jiu ..
      And here you are right .. without psychological preparation, such knowledge and skills cannot be obtained .. Well, actually this is why it was refined ..

        Jiu Jitsu combat includes strangulation. I know it first hand, from the Japanese.
        and in jiu jitsu there are many traps for students, as some of the tricks are oriented
        that you have a sword, and the enemy is trying to prevent it from being used
        and in general you need to divide the equipment into battle against the crowd, battle against the armed crowd and battle 1-1
        strangulation is usually applied only in the latter case, and then only in the case when the goal is not the death of the opponent, but simply victory. In Shaolin, the technique generally has only 8 basic sections, not counting other special sections. Wing Chun has 4 basic sections.
        Notice how Bruce Lee's Wing Chun technique varies depending on the number of opponents.
