From what I have heard its mostly praying mantis kung fu, aikido and wing chun with an emphasis on trapping hands.
It's a mixture of all the martial arts; the most efficient and most effective technique for the situation. Starting from weapons base down to some ground fighting. But really no focal point on any one. Jack of all trades but master of none kind of system.
its mostly the same stytem and structure as mcmaps
I think you forgot Mooo Thai.Quote:

I have read a bunch of the books written by Richard Marcinko. He is the guy that formed seal team 6. From what I have seen very little time was spent with hand to hand stuff. They are trained to be experts in any weapons they touch. Edged included. In one of the books he talked about Steven Segal being one of his guys........ and he was way down on the list of tough guys in the unit. He was best with his language skills. I kinda got the feel if you made it to seal teal 6, not alot of time was spent on hand to hand stuff because it was pretty much a given you were a badass !!!! Besides they are to skilled to play around with kids games!!!! lol. They would just double tap you between the eyes or plunge a tanto edged folding blade into your throat..... Great books he has several out, pick them up for some good reading.
Wait are you saying Steven Segal was a seal? Which books of Marcinkos have you read and which ones do you recommend?Quote:

They use guns. If one of them is attacked hand to hand there buddy shoots them.
I thought of Steven Seagal running through the desert, front kicking Taliban in the face when I read that Connor. Haha
