  • Hand to Hand Combat
    *FM 21-150 i FM 21-150 ii FM 21-150 iii FM 21-150 Preface This field manual contains information and guidance pertaining to rifle-bayonet fighting and hand-to-hand combat. The hand-to-hand combat portion of this manual is divided into basic and advanced training. The techniques are applied as intuitive patterns of natural movement but are initially studied according to range. Therefore, the basic principles for fighting in each range are discussed. However, for ease of learning they are studied in reverse order as they would be encountered in a combat engagement. This manual serves as a guide for instructors, trainers, and soldiers in the art of instinctive rifle-bayonet fighting. The proponent for this publication is the United States Army Infantry School. Comments and recommendations must be submitted on DA Form 2028 (Recommended Changes to Publications and Blank Forms) directly to Commandant, United States Army Infantry School, ATTN: ATSH-RB, Fort Benning, GA, 31905-5430. Unless this publication states otherwise, masculine nouns and pronouns do not refer exclusively to men. iv CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Hand-to-hand combat is an engagement between two or more persons in an empty-handed struggle or with handheld weapons such as knives, sticks, and rifles with bayonets. These fighting arts are essential military skills. Projectile weapons may be lost or broken, or they may fail to fire. When friendly and enemy forces become so intermingled that firearms and grenades are not practical, hand-to-hand combat skills become vital assets. 1-1. PURPOSE OF COMBATIVES TRAINING Today’s battlefield scenarios may require silent elimination of the enemy.

It was revealed that the main criterion determining the success of combat sambo wrestlers in the competitive activity will be the level of their special training. Moreover, this training includes special endurance of athletes, active dynamics of competitive contests and the speed of recovery of fighters after intense training and competitive loads. Besides, to increase the level of special endurance combat sambo wrestlers significantly it was suggested to include in the training process of combat athletes the method of intensive functional training - crossfit. In a year of studies the tests on the evaluation of the level of recovery of combat athletes after a specific load showed that the athletes using the training method - crossfit in their training sessions demonstrated significantly (P <0.05) the best recovery time after the load than the wrestlers who did not use this technique.

  • The Different Spellings of Jujutsu, Jujitsu and Jiu Jitsu, and What They Actually Mean (V2.4)
    The Different Spellings Of Jujutsu, Jujitsu And Jiu Jitsu, And What They Actually Mean (v2.4) Andrew Yiannakis, Ph.D. Research Professor (UNM) 8th Dan Traditional Jujutsu (USJJF) 6th Dan Traditional Kodokan Judo (USA-TKJ) Prof. Yiannakis is Chair of the Traditional Jujutsu Committee of the USJJF and Director of the Institute of Traditional Martial Arts at the University of New Mexico (USA) If you’ve been following my blogs on this issue (Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or LinkedIn) it should be clear that it’s not just about how you spell it. The different spellings are actual portals to different styles/systems, and the cultural practices and ways that characterize and differentiate them. The point is that Jujutsu systems are significantly different from Jujitsu, or Jiu Jitsu systems, in more ways than just techniques, or ways and practices. Genuine Japanese, or Japanese-based systems use Romaji (Roman letters) and the correct spelling under Romaji is Jujutsu. Jutsu in Romaji means “art” or “craft”. Of note is the fact that Jigoro Kano himself (the founder of Judo) began using the Romaji spelling of Jujutsu as early as 1887, in a paper entitled “Jujutsu and the Origins of Judo” (with T. Lindsay). Finally, the Kodokan, among other major Japanese martial arts organizations, fully adopted Romaji spelling and we see it used in reference to Kodokan Goshin Jutsu, the Nage No Kata, the Katame No Kata, and in the spelling of all techniques employed in Judo and Jujutsu. Western, or Westernized systems rarely employ Romaji and spell their arts as Jujitsu or Ju-Jitsu.
