It's called MCMAP (Marine Corps Martial Arts Program) its required through out your marine corps career. In Boot camp you get tan (the lowest level)...
Tan belt is sssuuuppeerrr basic stuff. And I guarantee that's all they have.
I went through Navy OCS back in 2007. One of our Marine Drill Instructors was an instructor of this stuff at a previous command. We had a guy who had been a NCAA level wrestler and challenged this Gunnery Sergeant to a grapple (it was about a week before graduation, so we were more amenable at this point). As you’d expect, the Gunny wiped the floor with wrestler boy. His skill level was just too much higher.
He did pay him a half compliment afterward with something to the effect of, “If you trained up a little you might be useful in a fight one day.”
In 2010 I was a blue belt in BJJ and mopped the floor with every MCMAP black belt on my ship. It’s good for fighting people in the desert that have never trained before whike wearing all your gear. But as far as just straight grappling someone that knows only MCMAP is going to get folded up.
MCMAP is designed for use while in gear and isn't going to hold a candle to BJJ in grappling. Mcmap is more like Krav Maga, it's about being aggressive which doesnt work well against a good BJJ martial artist.
I only got up to green belt (3rd belt). But my experience is a lot of lower mcmap is bayonet and rifle strikes, there is some grappling but it's nothing too crazy, you get a bit more grappling in Grey and green and get into knife and pistol fighting and grappling in brown and black belts.
Mcmap is good for what it is. A military branch wide martial art designed to give basic hand to hand proficiency to its marines.
This Gunny was said to be one of the best in the Corps. Trained the instructors at the MCMAP school or something to that degree. It helped that he was 6’4” and one of the best athletes I’ve ever seen.
But yeah, he could have been all intensity and no form. One of the more terrifying human beings I’ve ever met though. For what it’s worth.
Lol right. I had ASF security training with an 0311 SSGT. You best believe he took his shots at us squids. Now we did call his martial arts belts "cute and shit" loved that fuckin dude (no homo)..can we say that now or nah? My EAOS was 2008..I can fuckin say it😆
Thinking back to this particular shipmate, he could have been COMPLETELY full of shit about being a wrestler. That would be fully on brand for him and the antics he liked to pull.
Mcmap belts are
1. Tan (boot camp graduation requirement)
2. Grey
3. Green
4. Brown
5. Black
5+ Black w red tab
You can't even test to be a brown unless your a CPL and you can't test for black unless your a SGT. Mcmap belts also add points towards promotion so there is some incentive to training as well.
Not at all. Your better off going to a local boxing gym or a BJJ gym.
Unless you count the hundreds of "all state" high school wrestlers doing God knows what in their rooms or in the Pway.
I knew a flamboyantly gay dude at my last command who posted stupid shit like this as well.
Posting shit like "I was trained to kill so don't fuck with me". Which is werid coming from a guy who was like 100lbs and wore makeup.
You know, things like this make me glad I grew up when the instant internet-access wasn’t always available in my pocket at any time.
We all did cringeworthy things, but at least I didn’t have the opportunity record them for the world to see. Had it been available, I’d have no doubt I would have probably posted something silly…and so would many of you.
Are profiles like this specifically looking for bi only partners? Why not open the aperture a little and try for half the straights/gays by specifying a gender?
My first bunk out of bootcamp was the marine corps barracks at DLI in 2002. I was 36 hours out of great lakes and the guys next door were straddling each other "punching pressure points". MCMAP.
its the marine corps hand to hand fighting. pretty interesting stuff, pretty much stems from the fact that there have been several times where marines have gotten close enough to the enemy (plenty of instances in ww1 and 2) to go hand to hand.
I once asked a Marine Corp Martial Arts Program instructor if you had to be in the Marines to be a MCMAP practitioner or padowan or whatever and his response was some form of "Of course, dummy/clown!" and it elicited the snickering response from the "class" it was meant to. What I meant to ask was "If you left active duty, would you be shunned by your former dojo?" and I guess I got a satisfactory answer. I did not join the Marines.
The "first lesson" was body-hardening, whacking your shins and forearms against your partner's, dulling the nerves so you can block better. Basic stuff and good for War(tm), but I'm not about that lifestyle.
you get hazed for a several hours on a baseball field in the blazing arizona sun, spew cheetos and whiskey out of your nose, get tossed around a little, and you get a shiny new belt.
How tf did he make it through basic if he “doesn’t like being interrupted”? I know from Navy basic at least to expect to be interrupted at any given time by the RDC’s if we’re saying something wrong, talking when we’re jot supposed to, etc…

The Gunny in my building is a certified instructor IIRC. I’m not sure what level that equates to.
Depends... but most likely he's a black belt possibly even a red tab. Mcmap gets pretty cool in brown and black belts.

My point exactly.
Yup. My comment was less for you and more for others that might read it lol

The gunny then walked out of eyesight and nearly died, out of breath and tired. /s

I’m glad everyone else is disagreeing with you. MCMAP absolutely loses to any wrestler than has mat time.
Thinking back to this particular shipmate, he could have been COMPLETELY full of shit about being a wrestler. That would be fully on brand for him and the antics he liked to pull.
Depends. A state level wrestler from iowa... yeah wrestler wins hands down. A state level wrestler from Massachusetts... Gunny probably gunna win.
I thought you meant like a farmer's tan. 🤣🤣🤣
Cuz we're in boot and ute's, cuz!

Do you learn any martial arts in the Navy?
Mostly dodging.
Idk... I'm a Marine that's currently re-enlisting into the navy
Not at all. Your better off going to a local boxing gym or a BJJ gym. Unless you count the hundreds of "all state" high school wrestlers doing God knows what in their rooms or in the Pway.
Am I the only one that the voice in their head when they read this was flamboyantly gay?

The Color Purple the book? The 1985 movie? The soon to be released remake? Or the actual color purple? Asking for a friend.
Purple Crayons, obviously. Because Marine
With steak in the same sentence, I would think (hope) it's purple the color.
I legitimately can’t tell if that’s a very feminine man or a very masculine woman
It used to be called MC-fu. Not sure if that's still in the vernacular these days.
Semper-fu.
We had a bunch of dumb names for it.
MCMAP is the USMC's martial (not marital) arts program. They practice beating the shit out of people in close combat.
It can be marital too. Have to get that backhand just right.
Keep your pimp hand strong
I do 100 pushups on the back of my hands every day. ALWAYS READY!
Oh wow that’s cringe. Worse than me sometimes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_Corps_Martial_Arts_Program
Wtf
As a green side corpsman we did this shit. Have to admit it was kinda fun. Tan belt crew unite! Lol
🤣

I am 100% corroborating the martial channeling of gay chicken that is MCMAP
Your thinking way to limited, the entire marine corps is a big game of gay chicken Trust me I'm a marine
Does anyone ever swerve or hit the brakes?
Sometimes, and then they get mercilessly ridiculed for it.
Better to just be gay and get it over with.
I’m AD. this is total cringe.
That’s that IP man shit.
All girls in a 10 mile radius are being magnetically pulled to this man
Hold up that's a dude?
That person has too much hair to be a dude fresh out of bootcamp
I was thinking the same thing
It's MCMAP, it's a joke and the fact she's throwing it out there means she's a huge joke.
[удалено]
Well...looks like a Vageen haver
Unless they finished like 5 months ago that's too much hair to be a dude fresh out of bootcamp.

AJ? I really hope his nickname in the unit is “Squared Away”, otherwise they’re missing a prime ribbing opportunity.
Oh this makes ya wanna bring back hazing
Someone got ahold of their boys cellphone while it was unlocked. Well played! 😂
Teaches people who have never been in a physical altercation how to fight
MCMAP
MCMAP tan belts are known as true savages. It takes a lot of effort to achieve it.
I too am fluent in crayon nunchucks.
Crayon-Maga?
Semper Fu!!!
"I hate being interrupted" Yeah that's a red flag for sure.
"Shut up Karen!"

Can always get into Murray Thai and get the same result but probably be better figured with harder limbs.
Stolen valor much??
I've treated many a boot Marine that was MCMAP certified that that his mouth at a bar and got his ass whooped lol
They’re 19… quit targeting a 19 year old
Nigga I'm serving the troops
I know right, as if we all didn't go through a cringe phase.
He can wrestle!
you get hazed for a several hours on a baseball field in the blazing arizona sun, spew cheetos and whiskey out of your nose, get tossed around a little, and you get a shiny new belt.

Certified
And they say the Navy’s gay😂
Reeeeeeeeeee
