I would like to know just for the sake of it what hand to hand combat disiplines to Militarys around the world use :)

I know The Isrealis use Mrav Maga but thats the only one i know.

So what do the:

Brittish
Australians
Americans
Canadians
Frenchs
Chineses
Japanese
Russians
Koreans
Iranians
Germans
and any one else use as there close combat defence disiplines? :)
 
from what ive observed on a few nights on the town i`m pretty sure us Brits use a technique classed as the "windmill" :p
 
From what i can remember my old man telling me (he's over 60 now)

The british get taught "not a lot" in hand hand combat, you either shoot people, stick people, or bladder them with a stout James T Kirk like right hook.
 
Russians use a thing called Systema, another artifical combat style like krav maga

Apparently they also use things called Alpha, GRU and Vympel (wiki)

Many of them dont use any one specific art...They have developed their own systems which combine lots of different things.

On topic, is there any particular reason you're interested in this Zip?

I dunno why but it just does, I like to know the differences of the armed forces around the world :)

2. ???

Keyboard-do could easily best any of those systems, in fact it's all but uncounterable except when fighting against another practitioner.

I heard a suggestion by Julie Burchill the other day that dyslexia is just a PC word for "Middle class stupidity".

Zip - would you consider yourself to be middle class?


Actually im probably in a more lower class bracket then middle class if the class is rated by how much your house hold earns a year ;)
And yes i live in a comission house in what you lot call a council estate) ;)

And my spelling is crap, i know that, most this forum knows that. Does it bother me? No not really and i dont have dyslexia either.I just have NO SWEARING spelling and english skills because i do
Those extra S's are just there because i added them all in afterwards and accidently put a few where they wernt suposed to be with out reliezing it.

Now are you happy you know what class i come from and what type of area i live in? :)
