00:00The recruits, they're conducting Marine Corps martial arts. More specifically,
00:12they were working on knife techniques and counter to chokes and holds.
00:16McMapp is a simple foundation on fighting as us being the world's finest fighting force. So it
00:26starts here at Recruit Training, teaching them the basics of martial arts.
00:34If you're an infantry Marine, you can use McMapp in those real-world scenarios where you have to go
00:41out into combat. You potentially have to execute those techniques.
00:46If you're fighting in the trenches or if you're fighting house to house, then you'll be able to
00:57manipulate your weapon and the fact that it would be beneficial to you without just having to shoot it.
01:07Marines are the world's finest fighting force. You can't be a fine fighting force
01:12without learning basic martial arts techniques.
01:17Today, Delta Company is conducting their martial arts test for their 10 belt. So myself and the
01:23other martial arts instructor, along with our staff at CYC, Sasan Raker, the martial arts instructor
01:28trainer, we're testing out all their recruits from Delta Company for their 10 belt.
01:33What we're looking for is to see if they retain the knowledge that we taught them during their actual
01:37class. And we're just trying to see if they're executing the techniques to correct the way that
01:41we taught them in the classroom.
01:48It's important for them to learn McMapp because you never know what's going on in the world,
01:51regardless of MOS. If something happens where they have to engage in hand-to-hand combat,
01:56you can look in the mirror and tell yourself, you know that you did their job and the skills
02:00that they learned here that could, like I said, that could potentially save their life or save their
02:04buddies lives.
02:08Martial arts, I think that's just something everyone in general should know,
02:11regardless of their military, even the civilians. I think everyone should know how to defend themselves,
02:16if it came to that point.
