US military combatives

U.S. military combatives are structured martial arts training designed to prepare service members to defend themselves effectively in close-quarters encounters. They combine techniques from disciplines like boxing, wrestling, jiu-jitsu, and Krav Maga, emphasizing control, leverage, and efficiency. The goal is to neutralize threats quickly and safely, often with an emphasis on immobilization and submission rather than injury. Training includes strikes, grappling, ground fighting, and situational awareness, improving both physical skill and mental readiness for high-stress encounters. These skills are critical for maintaining safety and mission effectiveness in combat or self-defense scenarios.
