Methodology:
The ACI
Combative Skills Course
is broken down
into two sections: unarmed combatives and edged weapons
assault. The first section will be dedicated to unarmed combative
skill training. The second section will be dedicated to knife
defense and the use of edged weapons .
The first section is dedicated to unarmed combatives
demonstration and execution of the impact strikes of close
quarter combat. These strikes are taught to be executed from
various body positions and distances. They are placed in working
sequences so the individual can develop flow of execution . The
constant repetition of striking sequences enhance the
personnel’s ability to
counter attack instinctively
when faced
with a violent encounter.
The second section focuses on knife defense and use of the edged
weapons, utilizing the strikes of section one. The counter knife
section focuses on demonstration and execution of
realistic knife
assaults.
This part of training emphasizes the importance of
awareness, distancing, and positioning. Once the individual is
familiar with knife assaults, methods of countering those
assaults is covered.
Goal:
The goal of this ACI Combative Skills Course is to bring the
individual’s C.Q.C. tactics to a level of competence to efficiently
and
instinctively neutralize a sudden unexpected violent assault.
TRAINING AND TEACHING PSYCHOLOGY
UNARMED COMBAT
1. MILITARY VALUE
1. Object
It inculcates that spirit of self-confidence, initiative and
determination so necessary to the soldier. By those qualities,
allied to a sound knowledge of the art, a man is enabled to
acquit himself as a soldier even although he finds himself in the
most desperate of situations.
2. Use in defense and offense
Unarmed combat has hitherto been considered mainly as a
means of defense in close-quarter fighting, when no weapons are
at hand. Its use as a method of attack, however, must not be
overlooked, particularly on such occasions as those when
weapons cannot be conveniently used, as for example, when the
question of noise is involved, with its consequent betrayal of
position. Furthermore, by teaching a man to attack on every
possible occasion, one develops that fighting spirit so vital to the
soldier. Attack is often the best means of defense, for the
initiative always lies with the attacker.
No attack will prove successful if performed in a half-hearted
manner. Hence, every endeavor will be made to cultivate a real
fighting spirit in the soldier, so that when an attack is made it
will be carried out with the utmost vigor and perfect timing and
control.
The soldier must be taught to close with his opponent, whether
the latter is armed or otherwise, and immediately attack the
most vulnerable point open to him. The location of this will, of
course, depend upon the opponent’s dress and equipment, as
well as upon his position, i.e. whether he is standing, kneeling,
facing or with his back to the attacker.
The vigor and suddenness of this action will probably catch even
an armed opponent at a disadvantage, for it is unlikely that he
will anticipate an attack from an unarmed man.
In war, your attack can have only two possible objects; either to
kill your opponent or to capture him alive. It must be
emphasized that whichever of the two objects is in view, it
should be attained with the minimum number of moves.
In the description of the defenses and releases given here, a
number of following-up offensive movements is suggested. It is
essential to appreciate that these are only suggestions and that
the quickest available means to the end should be used.
The use of unarmed combat in defenses is equally as effective as
in offense, and whilst the same skill is required for its successful
application, the defender should always bear in mind the fact
that at the first available opportunity he must assume the role of
attacker. There is nothing more disconcerting for an armed
opponent than to find that an apparently unarmed man is ready
and willing to take the initiative. It argues supreme confidence or
possibly concealed weapons and is bound to make the attacker
more cautious and hence less sure of himself. Therefore, from
the start, the defender should endeavor to make the attacker
conform to his movements, and this valuable seizing of the
initiative may even enable the original defender to deliver an
attacker before his armed opponent. This will not always be
possible, however, and if forced on the defensive, the defender
must use every means to deceive his opponent. Then, with the
accurate timing of a champion boxer, he should parry his
opponent’s attack and assume the role of attacker.
3. Ruthlessness
War is a matter of life and death, even where unarmed combat is
concerned, hence there must be no scruple or compunction over
the methods employed. Complete ruthlessness is necessary in
order to gain the mastery over one’s opponent, and it must be
used without a tremor.
4. Essentials of success
Surprise, speed and smoothness of execution and, perhaps most
important of all, the gaining and retention of the initiative, are all
essential if success is to be achieved. These cannot be attained
without a thorough knowledge of the art, allied to constant
practice with a variety of partners and under different
conditions, as for example, in the matter of dress, when one is
tired as well as when fresh, and even occasionally at night when
it is dark.
No two opponents will attack in precisely the same manner, but
the skilled exponent of unarmed combat will by virtue of his
continual practice under all conditions, have a variety of moves
at his command and be able to apply that most suitable to the
occasion.
Although the initiative of an attack may appear to be with the
combatant who is armed, for example, with a rifle and bayonet,
the unarmed man can, and should, by a skillfully-timed offensive
action seize the initiative, disarm his opponent and thus secure
the upper hand.
5. Avoidance of injuries
Great care must be taken during practice to avoid injuries for a
bone might easily be broken or a joint dislocated, hence the
speed of a movement may have to be made as realistic as
possible. In an actual combat do not be misled by the false cries
of an artful opponent.
6. Dress
In the early stages, unarmed combat may be practiced in P.T.
kit. Later, however, it should be practiced in uniform, gradually
working up to battle dress and full equipment.
SURVIVING URBAN COMBAT:
IS THE Military PREPARED?
"For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf,
and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack."
Rudyard Kipling
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The most likely battlefields in the future will be located within
the rapidly urbanizing world. Combat in an urban environment
will not be the open fields of fire of 50 to 200 yard ranges.
Instead, it will be vicious up-close eyeball-to-eyeball combat. It
will often require hand-to-hand combat skills for the soldier’s or
marine’s survival. U.S. forces lack effective hand-to hand combat
skills and needless deaths will result if these skills aren’t
developed and incorporated into current infantry training.
However, it is well to keep uppermost in our minds that the
political and social organization, as well as the culture, of the
people determines the way in which its army and marines fight.
Its system of hand-to-hand combat to be truly effective must
recognize and reflect those attributes.
BACKGROUND
At the dawn of the Third Millennium, there will be 414 cities in
the world with more than a million population, 264 of those in
the Third World. A World Bank study predicts that at least 26 of
these cities will be megalopolises, each having more than 10
million people. All of these cities run the risk of being
dysfunctional centers of mass poverty and social collapse.
Economic discontent will vie, or combine with, disease and
malnutrition to provide a continual source of societal
breakdown. Conflict, instability and violence will be the order of
the day as the law of the jungle replaces the rule of law in the
growing new world disorder.
These "Urban Jungles" and future potential battle sites for U.S.
forces are extremely volatile. In such an environment, defeating
future foes will be extremely difficult as well as costly in both
blood and treasure. In this future combat zone, what the Marine
Corps terms a "three block war," foes will not face each other
from the relatively open environment of most Twentieth Century
warfare, for which U.S. forces are superbly trained. In the "three
block war" likely future urban battlefields, the law of the jungle
will replace the laws of war. The enemy will likely be as close as
your fingertips or as distant as across the room. In this battle
zone, the ultimate issue of life or death will often depend upon
the outcome of hand-to-hand combat. U.S. forces are woefully
unprepared for this down and dirty world of eyeball-to-eyeball,
hand-to-hand combat. These skills
must
be developed in order
for our forces to be able to operate with confidence and efficiency
on the future urban battlefields. These skills must be both
effective and easy to learn.
AN EFFECTIVE PROVEN HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT SYSTEM
Presently, training in Close Quarter Combat (CQB), or hand-to-
hand combat in the U.S. military (including special operations
units) is marginally effective at best. Due to technological
advancements and severe time constraints on training, CQB
training is at the bottom of the training priority list, and is most
cases it is nonexistent. The CQB systems currently taught within
the U.S. military are based on traditional Asian martial arts.
These systems reflect those unique cultures, whose
presuppositions are different than ours. Transposing these
