DETAILED OUTLINE

FUNDAMENTALS OF MARINE CORPS MARTIAL ARTS

INTRODUCTION ( 3 MIN)

1. GAIN ATTENTION . There are several fundamentals of the physical

discipline of our martial arts that are used throughout any type of

confrontation or situation. These fundamentals form the basis for all martial

arts instruction and techniques. Additionally, you must prepare your body

for the rigors of combat. To do so your body must possess the attributes of

both toughness and flexibility. Like iron, you must be able to absorb and

give out punishment but have the flexibility to prevent injuries. The proper

execution of these fundamentals will enable you to effectively perform

martial arts techniques that may very well save your life or the lives of

fellow Marines one day.

2. OVERVIEW . This lesson will cover the fundamentals of Marine Corps

Martial Arts to include the purpose of close combat, ranges of close combat,

weapons of the body, target areas of the body, pressure points, basic

warrior stance, and angles of approach and movement, and body hardening.

3. LESSON PURPOSE . The purpose of this period of instruction is to provide

an explanation of the martial arts skills taught in the tan belt course. A

student will teach the material to provide additional practice in instructing

close combat skills. There are no Terminal Learning Objectives or Enabling

BODY (55 MIN)

1. INTRODUCTION TO CLOSE COMBAT (3 MIN)

a. Purpose of Close Combat . The purpose of close combat is

to execute unarmed and armed techniques, in close proximity to

another individual, that comprise both lethal and non-lethal ends, across

a spectrum of violence within a continuum of force.

1) Unarmed techniques include hand-to-hand combat and

defense against hand-held weapons.

2) Armed techniques include techniques applied with your

T/O weapon or a weapon of opportunity.

b. Ranges of Close Combat . There are three ranges in which close

combat engagements can take place: long range, mid range, and close

range. In any engagement, these ranges may blur together or may

rapidly transition from one to another and then back again until the

opponent is defeated or the situation is handled.

Ma-1.02

1) Long Range . At long range, the distance between combatants

allows engagement with a rifle and bayonet, weapons of opportunity or

non-lethal baton .

2) Mid Range . At mid range, the distance between combatants is such

that they can engage each other with knives, punches, or kicks.

3) Close Range . At close range, the distance between combatants is

such that they can grab a hold of each other and may involve elbow

and knee strikes and grappling.

2. WEAPONS OF THE BODY (5 MIN)

a. Arms . The hands, forearms, and elbows are the individual weapons of

the arm.

(1) Hands. There are several areas of the hands that can be utilized as

weapons.

(a) Fist . The fist can be used as a weapon directed at soft tissue

areas such as the throat. This will minimize the risk of injury to the

fist. The striking surfaces of the fist are the first two knuckles of

the hand or the meaty portion of the hand below the little finger.

(b) Edge of Hands . The edge of the hand (knife edge) can be used

as a weapon. Similar to the fist, all strikes should be directed

toward soft tissue areas.

for striking, parrying, and blocking.

(d) Fingers. The fingers can be used for gouging, ripping, and

tearing soft tissue (e.g., eyes, throat, and groin).

(2) Forearm . The forearm can be used as a defensive tool to deflect or

block attacks. The forearm can also be used as a striking weapon to

damage or break joints and limbs. Strikes with the forearm do not

pose as high a risk of self injury as do strikes with the fist and fingers.

(3) Elbow . The elbow can be used as a striking weapon. Because of

the short distance needed to generate power, the elbow is an excellent

weapon for striking in the grappling range of close combat.

Ma-1.02

b. Legs. The legs are more powerful than the other weapons of the body

and are less prone to injury when striking. The feet are protected by

boots and are the preferred choice for striking.

(1) Foot . The ball of the foot, the instep, and the toe can be used to

kick an opponent. The toe is only recommended for striking when

wearing boots. The cutting edge of the heel and the heel can be used

to stomp on an opponent.

(2) Knee . Like the elbow, the knee is an excellent weapon in the

grappling range of close combat. Knee strikes are most effective while

fighting close to your opponent where kicks are impractical. The groin

area is an ideal target for the knee strike against and opponent

standing upright. The knee strike can be a devastating secondary

attack to the face following an initial attack that causes the opponent to

bend at the waist.

3. TARGET AREAS OF THE BODY (5 MIN)

During close combat, the parts of the opponent's body that are readily

accessible will vary with each situation and throughout a confrontation. The

goal is to attack those areas that are readily accessible. These areas are

divided into five major groups: head, neck, torso, groin, and extremities.

a. Head . The vulnerable regions of the head are the eyes, temple, nose,

ears, and jaw. Massive damage to the skull can kill an opponent.

(1) Eyes . The eyes are excellent targets because they are soft tissue

not protected by bone or muscle. Any attack to this region may cause

the opponent to protect the area with his hands. Secondary attacks to

other target areas can then be successfully executed while the

opponent's hands are occupied.

(2) Temple . The temple is one of the most fragile areas of the skull.

Powerful strikes to the temple can cause permanent damage and

death.

(3) Nose. The nose is very sensitive and easily broken. An attack to

this area can cause involuntary watering and closing of the eyes,

rendering the opponent vulnerable to secondary attacks. Unless the

strikes to the nose are powerfully delivered, attacks to the nose may

not distract the opponent because, through training, individuals can

become accustomed to the effects of attacks to the nose.

Ma-1.02

(5) Jaw. The jaw region, when struck forcefully, can cause

unconsciousness. Strikes to the jaw can cause painful injuries to teeth

and surrounding tissues (e.g., lips, tongue), but the risk of self injury is

great unless the strikes are delivered with a hard object such as a

helmet, rifle butt, or heel of the boot.

b. Neck .

(1) Front of Neck . The front of the neck or throat area is a soft tissue

area that is not covered by natural protection. Damage to this region

can cause the trachea to swell and close the airway, which can lead to

death.

(2) Back of Neck . The back of the neck or cervical region contains the

spinal cord, the nervous system link to the brain. The weight of the

head and the lack of large muscle mass in the neck area combine to

allow damage to the spinal column when the head is twisted violently.

Attacks to this region can readily cause pain and immobilization of the

opponent.

c. Torso .

(1) Clavicle . The clavicle or collar bone can be easily fractured, causing

immobilization of the opponent's arm.

(2) Solar Plexus . Attacks to the solar plexus or center of the chest can

immobilize the opponent by knocking the breath out of him.

(3) Ribs . Damage to the ribs can cause immobilization of the opponent

and may cause internal trauma.

(4) Kidneys . Powerful attacks to the kidneys can cause immobilization,

permanent damage, and death.

d. Groin. The groin area is another major soft tissue area not covered by

natural protection. Any damage to this area can cause the individual to

involuntarily provide protection to the injured area, usually with the hands

or legs. The scrotum is the main target since even a near miss will cause

severe pain, contraction of the lower abdominal muscles, deterioration of

the opponent's stance, and possible internal trauma.

(4) Ears . Attacks to the ear may cause the eardrum to rupture, but as

with the nose region, this may not stop or even distract the opponent

unless the strikes are delivered powerfully.
