Military close quarters combat foundation basic principles by majority are based on land air and sea warfare requirements.
Ground combat. Like climbing keeps three points of contact with the surface at all times.
Ground combat movement and weight distribution is a variation of commando crawling and provides considerable capabilities in relation to enemy threat neutralisation in ground combat.
Running skills as part of escape and evasion and in multiple unarmed or armed and unarmed enemy neutralisation, are often more proven and effective than fighting type footwork.
Load lifting and load bearing tactics and skills are common practice in point-blank bodily contact clinching and enemy forced movement including decentralisation.
Understanding the huge advantages that employing stress positions provides in relation to putting your enemy in a position of helplessness and hopelessness and expose them to your combative threat neutralisation without resistance makes achieving the objective that much safer and easier.
Understanding and utilising all and every advantage battledres,s body armour, webbing and packs in relation to increasing your enemies difficulty in assaulting you is advantageous to increasing hard targeting capabilities.
It is that much harder to seize secure and employ techniques against a combatant in full battle dress including body armour webbing or combat vests and packs. When you are dealing with the increased mass and shape of webbing combat vests body armour and packs that also provide reduced risk and danger if decentralised many techniques are far from applicable.
Load bearing and heavy lifting requirements of the soldier as with many tradesmen, bushman and hunters are very applicable to dealing with an enemy at close quarters.
Gross motor skills in relation to military requirements, sport, farming, hunting etc are often far more realistic practical and effective than traditional martial arts or fighting arts methods.
Some of the best combative skills owe their origins to ancient European warfare.
