Marine Corps Martial Arts Punches - 7/15/2015
Recruits of Charlie Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, practice punching techniques during a Marine Corps Martial Arts Program class at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, July 15. The focus of MCMAP is the personal development of each Marine in a team framework using a standardized, trainable and sustainable close combat fighting system. Training is broken down into segments and on this day the company learned the fundamentals of the lead and rear hand punch as well as the necessary proper footwork.
Though the recruits are learning the physical maneuvers of MCMAP, they are also given additional training on core values and morals.

There are five belt levels in Marine Corps Martial Arts from tan, gray, green, brown and black. Each belt builds on the skills developed under the previous belt and the Marine Corps values learned. Learning the basics of MCMAP is a graduation requirement for all recruits. Once Marines, these recruits will have the opportunity to build upon the basics learned in recruit training. |
