Yeah, that's what I would like to learn, Canadian forces doesn't even teach hand to hand combat anymore. We get 2x 40 minute lectures on how, and then some bayonnet against stationary mannequins... That's fuking shit.
It wasn't that useful to be honest. You got more hurt than anything because of shit like takedown days. We ran the 'gauntlet' which was takedown after takedown. After so many tree-tops you'll mess up the landing eventually and get hurt. A tree-top as they called it was basically catching the opponent's leg and taking a step back while lifting up. You basically dumped someone on their head, shoulder, or elbow which easily ended in injury. They justified it by saying: 'You're practicing your fall.'
The Army is stupid imo. I hear the Marines are worse at it. At being stupid that is.
Best thing to learn is BBJ and boxing followed by Muay Thai in that order. Just watch a few UFC, K1, PRIDE matches and you'll see. The match always goes to the ground. BBJ is #1. The match starts with boxing, American boxing is #2 although I like the Mexican style better. If you are good and you can get in pummel range, Muay Thai, the art of 8 limbs, can be devastating.
