Re: Defending Against Grappler Using Aikido
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.
Yes, I agree Dan aikido as a methodology has great potential and I agree it is a Grappling art. Having worked with Ark for a weekend, I would agree with you.
