VHS Movie Reviews of Marine Corps' Hand to Hand Combat [VHS]

Movie Review: authentic, but dated
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a former Marine who served in the early '90's. This was the basic hand to hand taught to all Marines at the time. The Marines Corps has since adopted a more martial arts based system. Some people have commented that the moves are complicated and impractical. Not so. However, you must practice them intensely and repeatedly so that they become nearly reflexive. You develop muscle memory by employing this training method. That is the way it is done it the Marine Corps. Marines learn by repetition -- one of the Marine Corps' many mantras.

Movie Review: Just like it should be..
Summary: 4 Stars

This video gives basic instruction in the L.I.N.E.-System of Close Combat.
This System teaches different counter-moves, to use in a hand to hand situation.
There are only ten different techniques, but they can all be used in different situations.
-The first part, LINE I, deals with counters to chokes and
headlocks, as well as someone grabbing you. (6 techniques)
-The second part, LINE II, deals with counters to punches and
a kick (4 techniques)

All of the techniques look very much the same, because they all end up with the enemy swept to the ground after the arm was broken and a stomp to the head.
This makes it quite easy to learn and applicate.
Each counter is broken down into different steps, which helps you learn it more quickly.
This is a lethal system, in which all scenarios end in the opponents death, but it can be trained safely with a partner under realistic conditions.
Give it a try and you'll see, that ,if performed correctely, the described techniques will work not only in the given scenarios of the viedo, but in many situations you might face in the street or in hand to hand combat.

Movie Review: I WOULDNT RELY ON IT...
Summary: 1 Stars

This video was recorded live at the San Diego, CA Marine Base. Picture quality is okay I guess..the sound is horrible though. You hear a bunch of really loud jets taking off in the background. Anyway, I gave this video 1 star because I think the moves shown are too complicated to be performed under a life threatening situation. No violent individual is going to stand there and let you twist his arm around (that's all they'll teach you in this video, wrist locks). I know this from experience because I've tried it on 2 guys already who attempted to punch my lights out while working as security for events. All they did was resist the technique, so I decided to leave wrist locks out of the picture ever since. You end up going in a circle numerous times as you try to wrist lock someone. Wrist locks seem to only work on passive subjects, but not on the ones who really want to hurt you. If you're really interested in self-defense, look for a reality-based self defense one, or two day seminar. Some of these seminars may be far from home and you may have to drive a couple of hours, or even fly. If you're really serious about it, you'll do it. I've driven 2-6 hrs to attend seminars. A lot of these seminars can be found in Black Belt magazine.

Movie Review: Sparse but informative.
Summary: 3 Stars

Not a lot of moves to learn here, in fact I can only recall 4 sets of moves, but they're all solid. With typical Marine block instruction you'll learn the basics of self defense in a combat environment.

Movie Review: Average at Best...
Summary: 2 Stars

The first thing you should know about this video is that it is filmed live on a Marine Base and the audio is terrible (there is the constant sound of jets taking off in the background). When it comes to unarmed combat/self defence, I believe in the K.I.S.S. principal (Keep It Savagely Simple). Most of the techniques demonstrated in the video are FAR too complicated to work under stressful conditions. If watching a bunch of 18 year old robot recruits sloppily attempt to imitate an instructor teaching ...re-hashed martial arts is your thing... have at 'er. There are many books and videos out there which are worth your hard-earned cash - this isn't one of them. Check out the U.S. Marine publication: CLOSE COMBAT, it is far superior to the stuff shown on this video.
