PLA hand-to-hand combat training
- Thread starter Big-E
- Start date
It's probably just the SWAT, PAP: Anti-Terrorist, or PLA Spec Ops (all including airborne and marines), then again most of the troops sit around doing nothing so I guess they probably have some martial arts trainning..Big-E said:
It was probably Wushu or Shaolin (highly doubt it's Shaolin, even those spec ops guys can't pull of the moves the Shaolin Monks can do)
ALL college students in China need to do a mandatory 20 days (vary from different places) PLA trainning (unless they got medical excuse)... so i guess they can learn alittle kungfu there
They most likely done learn more in hand to hand combat, but they like it as a hobby over there perhaps, i seem to remember martial arts being quite popular over there, and its always hand for a JUST IN CASE situation where you might happen to have possibility if it ever happens that you would be in a situation where martial arts is more useful.Waylander said:

To assist with fitness, morale and discipline aspects of military life. Unarmed combat training is a very useful skill in these areas and obviously has some usefulness if a soldier should find himself weaponless or spadeless and helps makes the fights at an opposing units boozer (pub) VERY entertaining on a friday night after the end of a long and boring exercise...Waylander said:
Yeah, for sure it is a good sport activity like many others which helps you to maintain fit.
But for using them in a military context it would be more usefull to invest the time in a better shooting training especially for rear units like logistics which seems to be a lack in many armed forces.
I try to remember your last sentence if I ever should meet some Aussi soldiers during a reserve exercise.

I agree but as you know all military units have a training program and there's always downtime. IF you have someone qualified to instruct though, unarmed combat training can be conducted virtually anywhere at any time.Waylander said:Yeah, for sure it is a good sport activity like many others which helps you to maintain fit.

The Australian Army is actually recognising that it is a useful military skill that has fallen by the way since WW2 and is making reasonable strides towards integrating it back into the normal training program. Particularly now that unarmed combat is being combined with "less than lethal" capabilities such as batons, OC (Pepper spray) etc and also riot control training for peace keeping operations, where the use of lethal force is often counter-productive...
Yep, a beer and a fight, that's us...
Hi first time poster here. The martial arts used by the Chinese military is called San Shou (also spelled Sanshou or Sanda).
Basically, the Chinese government brought together a bunch of experts to create a simple form of hand-to-hand combat. The result was San Shou. Whereas, traditional Chinese martial arts has a lot of art form in it, San Shou was based on simplicity and functionality and real-life combat. So there is a lot of grappling involved such as joint locks and choke holds.
I'm sure you can find my information by googling San Shou.

I do agree... but then came a harsch week of extensive krav maga training and after that the guard/post training which also included some krav maga. All the swedish low-life creatures called conscripts must apperantly know some hand-to-hand combat in case all ammo is depleted or you are guarding a vital object during peace time and want to "take care" of a unauthorized mean person.... Man, and I'm just an army chef.
Good post - Most Asian ground force units do in fact practice martial arts and it is a mandatory requirement for physical training. The 1st Tiger division in South Korea used to have it as a requirement that all members become black belts in Tae Kwon do, it was a matter of prestige to get the golden fist patch as part of their uniform.

For sure there are procedures to control persons during guard duty wothout using your weapons as well her ein Germany.
But these are just basics. And you still have your weapon and maybe your spade if you guard something.
Hand to hand combat has its place in army training.
But I think that the time you need for train more than just some basic skills in martial arts is better used for normal combat training.
Just because you are going to use them much more than hand to hand combat.

A friend of mine assigned to look after Army gear on display at the local show had axe handles issued to him and his mates to deter the overly curious.

It was a demonstration team... probably top of their class diggers.
So yeah, Regular RAR
The PLA practice combat Sanshou as mentioned by one of the posters earlier. It combines striking, take-downs and a little bit of grappling. No fancy moves whatsoever compared to those Kungfu movies. It's more comparable to Mixed Martial Arts style fighting.
Hand to hand combat training is not only great for physical training, but can enhance a soldier's mental toughness and confidence in his abilities. I feel much better now going to night clubs than before I took up kickboxing and Jujitsu few years ago. We do have a hand to hand combat course in the Canadian army, but I never attended it and learned the arts on my own time.

Do they teach any wrestling or grappling in training? It seems like they stop whenever someone hits the ground.
