Well good luck with the training and stay safe if you find yourself in Afghanistan etc. If you get the chance I'd recommend getting on a plane and training in Thailand for a month get in the ring, test your techs, it'll push your training on to the next level.
Everytime I see Stann fight, I root against him. I dont know why, guess its the "alpha male" syndrome.. Plus I heard he was a total dick while he was serving.
Yea there are Gracies who teach at certain bases. Ken Shamrock also designed our basic combat grappling system.
Do you do that MCMAP thing? Is it any good or is it ****? Out of Tim and Brian i would choose Tim by UD op Lynchburg
Yea, I got my Black Belt 3rd Degree when I hit E-6.. I mean dont get me wrong, in a kill or be killed fist fight - Yea, its useful. However, it wont defend against a BJJ Black Belt choking you out. Put it like this, in MCMAP, you only need 40 hours of training to get a blackbelt.
...oh and I agree, Tim is a better all around martial artist, and I can even admit, Army Rangers kick major ass.
