week 2, this is the week we will learn everything thing we need to know about melee combat.
Today the recruits are taken to a course where they will start their training about the Marine Corps Matrial Arts Program or MCMAP for short.
"SIT UP STRAIGHT, ALL OF YOU LOOKING AT ME RIGHT NOW! " The instructor on the stage shouted making the recruits sitting on the ground looking up at him.
"AYE SIR! " The recruits shouted as they look up on their instructor.
"Today, we are going to teach you about the Marine Corps Matrial Arts Program or MCMAP for short." The instructor explained while standing on the stage. "MCMAP is the marine corps standard combat system that uses the mix of other martial arts such as Judo, Tae Kwon Do, Boxing and many other more. It basically focus on kicks and punches and it draws on the philospy known as 'one mind any weapon', which means a trained marine can use anything on the battlefield as weapon. From his combat knive, to his helmets, to ammo cans on the ground even bricks and rocks. Anything on the battlefield can become a weapon even a pencil if you want to be John Wick unless your lucky to find one on the field."
The entire course burst into laughter upon they hear that.
"Ha, with a fucking pencil!" Anon chuckles
"Alright, knock it off." The instructor on the stage says.
"YES SIR!" The recruits replied.
"Now pay attention closely because I'm going to show you how it's done." The instructor said as he put his arm on the shoulder of another instructor who is kneeling down. "First, what you do is you put your right arm on top of your opponent's right shoulder." The instructor on the stage explained.
"Now what happen next is, I'm going to lock my arm on his neck." The instructor said as he bends his elbow around the other instructor's neck. "Do you understand!?"
"YES SIR!"
"Next, I'm going to hold my right hand tightly with my left hand." He said while holding his right hand with his left hand. "Finally what I'm going to do is I'll tighten my arm around his neck, what this does is it cuts off the my oppenent's air supply, suffocating and knocking him out cold. Understand!?"
"YES SIR!"
"Now is your turn to do it, break a leg and now stand up." The instructor said making the recruits stand up.
"AYE SIR!" The recruits said as the stand up.
Putting on their mouthguards, the recruits start their training. Ally is kneeling down on the ground as his partner, Jeff is trying to do the same thing the instructors showed on the stage. "Take it easy Jeff, it's just a training." He says while kneeling down on the ground."
"I'll try my best." Jeff said.
"Alright , are you ready?!" The instructor said.
"YES SIR!" The recruits shouted.
The instructor blowed the whistle, signaling the recruits to start.
Upon the recruits heard the whistle, they start to put their right arm on their partners shoulder.
"TWO!"the recruits say as they put their right arm on the shoulder.
The instructor blowed the second whistle signaling them for their next move.
"THREE!" the recruits bend their elbow around their partner's neck.
"Very well, not bad." The instructor said before putting the whistle back into his mouth and blows it again.
"FOUR!" the recruits hold their right hand with their left hand.
The instructor blows the whistle for one last time, signaling the recruits for the next move.
"MARINE CORP!" the recruits thighten their arm around their partners neck.
The recruits practice it for a few times before partners turn. After their partners turn, the instructor on the stage congratulates them. "Very well, all of you here did good but some of you need more practice and improvement. Now stand up and go to the field cause we are going to teach you the advance moves of MCMAP."
"YES SIR!" the recruits say as they stand up before finally heading to the field to practice their skills.
