Just to clarify, the USMC does not have BJJ as it base. It did not develop the program this way.
The Army's program does however, have BJJ as it's base. However it is NOT BJJ and is a progressive and comprehensive system.
The Army has over 700 documented cases of Hand to Hand combat in the last 5 years. Many of those attributed their success to the MACP training they recieved.
So it is combat proven and is does work.

Thanks Kevin for that. No sense in split hairs, and I don't know the military program in detail of how much of it and to what extent is MMA/BJJ, etc. I still think that what the military training (also mix martial arts) had prior to MMA/BJJ worked and had thousands of proven cases from what WWI to post-vietnam. Why reinvent the wheel? I still think Krav Maga would have been a better choice over MMA/BJJ. But, that is neither hear nor there.
Thanks for the replies it keeps the interest up.
