		The Marine is taught to effectively and firmly tie to the weapon to the body, by locking the rear hand to the hip/waist area.
		The Marine is taught to thrust the weapon by using the force of the body and rear hand/arm.
		In this regard, those in charge of the Marine Corps Martial Arts program are going to great lengths to ensure that the instructors understand that their jobs are not to prove how good they are, but to develop the capability of their student Marines.

	One Mind, Any Weapon
		Today's Marine must be a warfighter, a diplomat, a winner of hearts and minds, and a protector of the weak, the innocent, and the fellow humans caught in the confusing and terrifying maelstrom of modern war.
		MCMAP is not a sports-based martial-arts program; it is a warfighting system based on the use of the rifle and bayonet, followed by the bayonet/knife as a combat knife and then followed by weapons of opportunity (e.g., helmets, shovels, tree limbs, bricks).
		MCMAP is absolutely grounded in the belief that Marines should train the same way they are taught to fight and that the training equipment should be as close in design to the existing combat equipment as safety and cost considerations permit.

		The Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) is a combat system developed by the United States Marine Corps to combine existing and new hand-to-hand and close combat techniques with morale and team-building functions and instruction in what the Marine Corps calls the "Warrior Ethos".
		MCMAP was implemented to increase the combat efficiency, as well as to increase the confidence and leadership abilities of Marines.
		Because the belts are worn with the Marine's camouflage utility uniform, the complete range of belt colors such as red, yellow or purple are excluded as a practical consideration.

		Moving in formation at a double-time pace, the Marines of the Basic School’s Echo Company—sweating in the early morning sun—formed a circle on helicopter Landing Zone 6, a training field at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va. They stacked their M16 rifles and turned their attention to the instructors in the center of the field.
		By October 1, all Marines were supposed to complete at least the lowest level of instruction, qualifying them to wear a tan belt, said Maj. John M. Bourgault, deputy director of the Martial Arts Center of Excellence, a division of the Marine Corps Combat Development Command at Quantico.
		MCMAP is the most recent form of close-combat training for the Marines, but they have engaged in hand-to-hand fighting since their earliest days.

		Although this has been the proclamation that gave hundreds of Marine rifle squads their marching orders to fight their enemies, it is not guaranteed that a Marine will always be able to rely on his rifle to fend off the enemy.
		Another important aspect of martial arts is executing the fighting skills properly, which is just what the demonstrators did while performing in front of the crowd.
		These arts were developed a long time ago, for people with different mentalities to marines and trained in them a differing manner to the way they are being taught to soldiers.

	Marines' martial arts training aims to make the tough tougher (1/4/02)
		Martial arts techniques of the nonlethal variety can also be invaluable in peacekeeping duty, disarming agitated civilians, dispersing angry mobs, transporting prisoners, or handing out food rations to crowds of starving people.
		To give the U.S. Marines a similar edge, the commandant assigned the 44-year-old Bristol--who has fl belts in judo, jujitsu, and karate and a nose misshapen by 35 years of practicing hand-to-hand combat--to develop an intensive new martial arts training program for all Marines.
		These trainees were already experienced martial arts instructors before they arrived at Quantico, and those who pass this course will earn fl belts and thus qualify to train other instructors when they return to their bases and ships.
