Military ground combat is all about enemy incapacitation or elimination.

It is not about fighting someone on the ground trying to make them submit.

The toughest of tough cannot overcome the effects of life support systems destruction.

Combatants skilled in mil CQC enemy elimination know that such terminal effects cannot be overcome and this enhances CQC confidence in their threat neutralisation capabilities.

Training in traditional or sporting skills for the battlefield increases the requirements for physical output and puts the combatant at risk with every extra second it takes to fight their adversary on the ground.

Tussling on the ground exposes combatants to unnecessary risks and dangers and depletes their physical capabilities dramatically not to mention increasing vulnerability to being taken out by other enemy combatants coming to the aide of their compatriot.

The dangers of ground fighting in military close quarters combat and military self-defence situations include being stomped by additional enemy, hard contact with hard surfaces or protrusions, armed trained enemy using armed close quarters combat threat neutralisation against you, or unarmed skills to destroy delicate human senses or life support systems.

When you face someone that does not play by rules has a ruthless combative mentality and is committed to causing you grievous bodily harm by the most dirty and deadly means, then ground fighting is tactically flawed.

Grappling and wrestling prowess can easily be overcome by means of overkill armed ground combat.

The destruction of the airway spinal cord or eyes can incapacitate or eliminate an enemy’s ground fighting in an instant.

Being bogged down in a ground fight is time-consuming and exposes you to wide ranging additional risks and dangers.

Using submission skills or fight skills on the ground against take out armed skills is suicidal.

Taking your enemy out in actions on close quarters combat encounter by means of deadly armed or unarmed close quarters combat is a priority over taking an enemy on in a ground fight, especially if the enemy has greater physical attributes and capabilities and is skilled in ground fighting.

The employment of primary or backup weapons as well as CQC specific or improvised edged or bludgeon type weapons is more than a great equaliser on the ground, they are a quick deliberate means to an end.

Combining dirty and deadly skills of enemy destruction with tactics to maximise safety and provide hard targeting enables a considerably less capable combatant to stop a formidable enemy in their tracks.

Streetfighters well versed in all in anything goes understand the capabilities of biting, head-butting, eye gouging and ground stomping a downed adversary not to mention the use of bottles blades and other weapons including improvised weapons.

The trained mil CQC combatant must have sound self-protection hard targeting capability as well as dirty and deadly kill or die mil CQC skills.

Being able to prevent or reduce the effects of the enemies ground fighting is essential to maximise safety in enemy neutralisation.

Mental toughness and high level intestinal fortitude is most essential.

It is important that your skills will provide threat neutralisation capabilities against a considerably larger, stronger, highly skilled mentally determined enemy aggressor.

Clinching wrestling and grappling with a mentally tough combative trained and armed combatant is suicidal.

Submission skills or ground fighting become life-threatening negative decisions against such terminal and deadly intentions.

Think about it, applying a submission technique will in an instant be replaced with self-preservation when stabbed.

Eye gouging, airway destruction and other dirty and deadly mil CQC tradecraft practices can turn the enemy into the victim.

The old military CQC adage is very true in that such skills take 50 kg+ of weight off of the enemy and do not require high level or extreme physicality or high-level training to stop the most formidable foes in their tracks.

The CQC modus operandi not only includes such practices but continued destructive targeting until the threat is no more, ruthless continuous human destruction.

Primary ground combat of anything less than quick silent threat neutralisation is tactically flawed and high risk for military CQC kill or die actions on.

An important tactical assessment before opting for other than deadly mil CQB/CQC skills against an armed enemy in full battle dress/body armour is will traditional or sporting techniques work or even be possible.

Unarmed ground combat as in eye gouging, destruction of the spinal cord or airway, targeting the genitals biting the nose or throat or dislocating and snapping of the fingers or thumbs is not permitted even in mixed martial arts or so-called no holds barred as it ends encounters quickly and is life or limb threatening.

The most important factors when facing formidable aggressors are mental toughness intestinal fortitude and hard cover self-protection capabilities required to enable threat neutralisation under assault.

These primary attributes combined with dirty and deadly threat neutralisation skills provide the best CQC chances of defeating the enemy.

All the techniques prowess amount to nothing if you don’t have the inner-resolve and mental toughness required to stop a formidable foe in their tracks under adversity.

Techniques that are not the best of battle proven enemy stoppers or techniques that are not specific to role threat or are not conducive with battle dress, body armour, boots, load bearing only increase the risk of defeat wounding injuries and death.

Terrain considerations must be taken into account in CQC tactics and skills employments to minimise risk.

For the battle field in kill or die close quarters combat actions on it is a priority to train soldiers in the best of battle field proven threat neutralisation as anything less is not best arming them and preparing them to win.

You are best at what you primarily train in and if it is mil CQB/CQC/MSD you are best ready and prepared to defeat an enemy fighter using less than lethal options.

Covert or deceptive CQC skills employments increase CQC chances of threat neutralisation as the first thing the enemy knows is the feel of the effects of a terminal outcome.

Boots, battle dress, weapons and the best of battle proven take no prisoners dirty and deadly CQC tradecraft tactics and skills combined with a controlled ruthless mentality and over kill sudden aggressive shock action maximise defeating a ground fighting enemy by swift dirty and deadly military ground combat threat neutralisation.

Common sense must prevail in military CQC skills selection and the military combatant with the smarts will be able to identify what provides a quick take out and what does not and will as such expose them to increased risk.
