The older images show World War II period methods of training for close-in combat. Those soldiers are wearing garrison caps. The World War II Soviet reconnaissance men were the raiders mentioned in other posts that referenced http://www.vrazvedka.ru/. A newer graphic shows how to turn a blade in the hand, and it is followed by a diagram showing how to run through a series of stand-up targets. It's for training against multiple opponents. The guy in the baseball cap-style hat is a post-1990 graphic. The images are interesting, but you won't see me in a knife fight. And, at 47, my days of active training are behind me. However, the pursuit of truthful knowledge about how training was conducted in different periods of military history by different nations is fascinating. At some point, I'll scan in relevant texts from my inventory of period bayonet manuals. Military history -- there is a reason the History Channel is so popular. And, for someone not given to lifting weights and running, using these patterns for personal exercise is a benefit. http://i11.tinypic.com/2lt53eo.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/4hmrk1i.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/29z7fa0.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/43zrymv.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/2ug2gsk.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/35lxcad.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/2z4aji0.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/48gv0cy.jpg mrtnira October 28th, 2006, 01:24 PM These are from Russian sources, although in various publicly available information I have seen similar in Chinese martial artists clubs. The training aids are inexpensive in real terms, and allow a martial artist the practice of balance and timing while impacting a solid object, instead of just boxing the air. (I box the air.... My days of pretending to be a combatant are long ago). So, this is for you young guys with the energy! Training aid graphic 6 is a representative room for station training. That will cost more, and is probably only going to work with well funded clubs. The last image is a graphic of what was supposed to have been (emphasis on supposed to have been) the Shaolin testing hall. I used 250 dot per inch scan, so you might be able to enlarge it some and see some details of the obstacles in the maze. The document was sourced, but was in Russian. I put it in for interest, not for serious consideration. http://i14.tinypic.com/2ppmuwx.jpg http://i13.tinypic.com/29zpmpy.jpg http://i13.tinypic.com/3449hsh.jpg http://i14.tinypic.com/43nht38.jpg http://i13.tinypic.com/2yos4du.jpg http://i13.tinypic.com/2v2fo7t.jpg Shaolin -- I wouldn't put too much stock in it, but it's an interesting concept. http://i14.tinypic.com/2wd8rad.jpg nbk2000 October 28th, 2006, 03:07 PM That last picture looks like something out of a Dungeons and Dragons game manual! :D mrtnira November 2nd, 2006, 08:02 PM The following 20 tinypic link-lines are to images scanned in from the 1927 U.S. Navy Landing-Force Manual. It's from the days of gunboats on Chinese rivers. Sailors would have secondary assignments for landing party and boarding party, to secure ports and wharves, to restore order, or to inspect shipping and seize contraband. There is a lot of text about how to train, how to do repetition drills, make an assault course, and howto make a wooden training dummy. The described assault course included trenches, walls, and wire. There are instructions about how to go over walls, and how to clear trenches. It's for educational purposes (my comment is genuine). The validity of this material is in understanding how training was done in the 1920s. It does show you how things have changed. Also, I cannot see anyone doing it for real today, unless it is in a limited fashion for physical fitness. http://i12.tinypic.com/35aoxzp.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/2hxx9ag.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/400uxxf.jpg http://i12.tinypic.com/2s7j0w3.jpg http://i12.tinypic.com/2pt53jq.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/40kvcpi.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/35jic7b.jpg http://i12.tinypic.com/358phsl.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/2s7vub7.jpg http://i12.tinypic.com/4g8ic7a.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/2rfsf9k.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/49jsd9x.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/3yci913.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/437w8t2.jpg http://i12.tinypic.com/2ewclkg.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/2hds1vm.jpg http://i12.tinypic.com/34dom76.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/4026p0y.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/2mm7ogg.jpg http://i12.tinypic.com/2s788jr.jpg The manual also has diagrams of how to set up road blocks, strong points, check points, and how to set-up buildings for urban combat. They are of interest because it does two things: 1. shows how some things have not changed; and 2., shows detailed diagrams of things photographed during the 1920s and 1930s in China, which show up on the History Channel or in history books. I will scan those in later, and would come under a different topic header. mrtnira November 2nd, 2006, 08:52 PM This is the last of the bayonet training-related scans. It comes from a 1950s book by Lt. Col. Robert Rigg. If you can find a copy of it, Realistic Combat Training is a very valuable book for reference, or for ideas on how to make your own ranges (night, urban, patrol, unit, individual, etc.) http://i11.tinypic.com/3yx3xub.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/33ymlwy.jpg barrettm203 March 17th, 2008, 12:23 PM :DHere are some basic concepts on CQ Tactics This is not registered version of Total HTML Converter Smart Movement is a vital part of success for a CQ Op. Movement in CQ is swift and silent. There should always be a purpose for movement. Never move unnecessarily because it just puts your team in danger. When moving be sure to stay low and present as little of target as possible to the enemy. Running is usually a last resort. Quick and silent movements are preferred to running which is more noticeable and makes more noise. Of course if your team is compromised (discovered), running is required because you need to get some cover to engage and neutralize the packages. Covering areas is a crucial aspect of movement. If you approach an open hallway, staircase, intersection or some form of open area, your team's movement needs to be covered. Hallways and intersections are the most commonly encountered obstacles. When moving across a "T shaped" hallway, the point man approaches the area and peeks around the corner. If a tango is there, the scout should neutralize the threat. If not, the scout should drop to a knee and cover the corner he just cleared. The next man in line should cross the open hallway and leave enough room for the rest of the team on the other side. Once across the other side, the OIC (second man in formation) is responsible for covering directly ahead of the way he just came. Once the point man gives the word, the next man crosses. He then aids the point man in covering the open area. The team crosses the open area one by one until the point man comes across and assumes the position of point and the "patrol" continues. Clearing and covering corners Clearing and covering corners is another important aspect of movement. If you approach a corner, the point man should tell the rest of the team they've reached a corner. The point man then "slices the Pie" on the corner. Slicing the pie involves maximizing the team members view while limiting the reaction time of the tango. Slicing the pie involves making a 90 degree movement around the corner. In other words, the point man takes a step back from the corner turns his body so his point of view is looking directly past the edge of the corner.
