Fighting

[isaac3451027]

I was woundering about fighting sports in the Marines. I love close Combat sports and i made it to states in wrestling, judo and kenpo. My question is the teams in the Marines are like a clubs or are they for pros only or do they have tryouts just woundering.

PS How would doing these sports work out with your time working 5 days a week. Thank you

Did you WIN state? how many times? The Corps has a tough Greco team stacked with talent and often qualify at least one member for International events including the Olympics but you gotta be a standout. Former "All Marine Greco" coach Jim Jackson was one of my coach's and also helped mentor Matt Lindland to a silver medal at the Sydney Olympics. You think your high school program was challenging? Earning the right to wear the USMC singlet is an ass kicker. if your resume is good enough the Marine coach will know who you are.

Do an internet search for Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP). You will get all the hand to hand skills you could ever want.

Poolee just wait til you get to the fleet. It will depend alot on your MOS and more importantly your training schedule. Theres intramural teams, base teams, but it all depends on what your training cycle is. What I mean by MOS is as a grunt I knew alot of grunts that wanted to participate but were to busy getting ready for deployment and had were in the field, on ship , or some other activity and could not participate. I hope that answers some of your question.

Did I just see a POOLEE tell a bunch of Marines to "Look calm down".These Marines are here to help you poolee.

Capt.Harris congratulations sir on your promotion!
