| Anyone know of combatives type hand-to-hand training available in GA? |
| I was trained by Kenneth McGuire in the art of Kenpo in the 80's. Kenneth was trained by ed parker and well known by the rangers at ft. benning. Kenneth died in 2001 and I don't teach anymore but alot of his instructors continue to teach this deadly enclosed fighting system. |
Another effective and brutal style of fighting which is becoming more and more prevalent in the Metro ATL area is Krav Maga. It is a fighting form in use by the Israelis. I have taken a couple of 40 hr courses geared towards LEO use and I can say first hand it operates on very basic movements that even a monkey could do...after all I pulled it off

Check out Ardent Training here in Georgia. They do classes at South River and other ranges. Paul and Steve are great instructors.
Also check out SouthNarc(Craig Douglas) for his schedule at ShivWorks Those two schools are some of the best of the best and one his right here in Atlanta. |
| I'll put my plug in for Tiger Academy. The "Total Defense" class was originally designed and delivered to SWAT, Rangers, SEALs, and other police/military. |

That's the one I thinking of near my sis's house ;) And yeah...Army combatives was developed off of Gracie's stuff. Believe it started with the Rangers on Benning. At the 82nd, we started doing LINE in addition to the regular Combatives. LINE is...fun :) |

Not what I call fun but effective by all accounts. IIRC LINE training fell out favor due to political reasons...Marines were breaking too many fellow Marines and civilians. MCMAP (Marine Corps Martial Arts Program) is what we train on now. We even get colored belts.
For the OP are looking for some thing that integrates weapons or just some thing that is hand to hand for conditioning? There are sport type marital arts and other schools that emphasize disabling and killing blows, Both have their place. Monk

62 hours for a black belt? I'm not sure about the hours required for a GBJJ black belt at our school, but a black belt in the stand up class (Muay Thai) requires a minimum of about 500-550 hours. |

The way Wikipedia presents that hours information is a bit confusing That 62 hours of training is from your last belt, brown in this case So to earn a MCMAP BB you would need to complete 229.5 total hours* of training. That does include sustainment hours that Marine are supposed to train annually Here is what MCMAP training center says about earning the black belt To earn a Black Belt requires a Marine to be a sergeant or above, as well as complete 247.50 hours of supervised training. This equates to the cumulative training and experiences a Marine will accumulate in 3 to 4 years of service. This will be a Marine who has completed several leadership development schools, who has been recommended and promoted on four occasions within the Marine Corps rank system, who has been tested and mastered the techniques of four previous belt rankings, has demonstrated maturity, sound judgment, impeccable character, and has proven himself as a leader.
