This is a place for recruits to learn and practice the basic fundamentals of hand to hand combat. There are two main categories that all Marines are trained in here; Marine Corp Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) which encompasses basic Hand to Hand combat with your Rifle and without. This is where Recruits first learn to square off against an opponent and harness that vicious fighting spirit that allows one to overcome all obstacles. In a fight you must become a killer. You must kill your enemy before he kills you. This is the mentality that you learn to be a survivor because if you don't.. you will be a dead Marine... and unless you were given an order to die.. it is unauthorized and against Marine Corps Policy!... We are not trained to die for our country... we are trained to make the other poor sap die for his.

So while on here during all courses of participation you will sound off not with a "Yes Sir".. but a firm resounding "KILL" is that UNDERSTOOD!

Outstanding.

Now get into Extended Platoon PT formation......... MOVE!

At all times while fighting with your partner (which partners are on a first come first serve basis) you will listen to any Drill Instructor or Officers instructions. They will tell you if you are doing something wrong and correct you. Remember INTENSITY is key here... but SAFETY is paramount!

Ok everyone... today you all will learn the BWT or the Basic Warrior stance! The basic warrior stance is the basic position that pretty much all of the Marine Corp Martial Arts training is started from. You must master it in order to proceed. Is that understood?



Now... to transition into the basic warrior stance you will, from the position of attention, Pick up your left foot and put It one half step infront of you and turn your body to face at a 45 degree angle from the front.

What this does is present more of your side than front... Who can tell me why this is important?

*Puts left foot one half step in front of me and turns my body at a 45 degree angle.* Sir, this stance is important because it helps you maintain your balance against the enemy's blows while allowing you to retaliate quickly!

Close, but no cigar recruit. You are thinking inside the box, instead think of your enemies options after you turn from facing him head on, to turning sideways and cutting down on the surface area your body presents.

...so by doing that you present less area for your enemy to strike at???

Correct recruits. In doing this you present less open surface area for your opponent to hit squarely.


But what the young recruit said about balance is equally important. that is why you must keep your feet a shoulder width apart. Too close and you can be toppled over..... but if they are too far apart, you wont be able to quickly and effectively move.

SO get your feet into position.

Now the next part of the Basic Warrior Stance is you dropping your weight a little and bending your knees slightly. What this does is lowers your center of gravity so it is additionally harder to push you over. As well as the fact that with your knees slightly allows for you when you begin to strike offensively to better harness and gain power during the move so when you hit, you will exert the maximum kinetic force you possibly can!

Are you all tracking me so far Recruits?

Outfreaking STANDING!

Now the next part of the Basic Warrior Stance is you will make a fist with each of your hands. Ensure that you close your 4 fingers first tighly and then put the thumb on the outside.

Failure to ensure this simple fist will land you with a broken hand. And unless you have been given authorization to break a bone, I would not recommend it.

Now. bring each of your fists up to your face. The reason we do this is to offer some minor protection for our face from our opponent. Additionally it provides us a base to strike from. All of our following moves will stem from this base position.
