Marine Martial Arts

iOS Universal

The Marine Martial Arts app is the U.S. Marine Corp training manual and includes over 500 pages of great content. This app guides individual Marines, unit leaders, and close combat instructors in the proper tactics, techniques, and procedures for close combat.

Close combat is the physical confrontation between two or more opponents. It involves armed and unarmed and lethal and nonlethal fighting techniques that range from enforced compliance to deadly force. The purpose of close combat is to execute armed and unarmed techniques to produce both lethal and nonlethal results.
