SAF needs to adapt new unarmed combat techniques!
-
I feel that TKD takes too long a time to master and how long do they even teach you unarmed combat in the army
they should adapt no-nonsense techiques such as jiu jitsu/judo grappling ground attacks and simple strikes from krav maga such as eye gouging and elbow to the face.Dont expect someone to use a flying kick in the battlefield -
how about taiji? or maybe no shadow kick?
or what about kenpo? -
well, i believe ADF people are learning aikido.

akido is gd...but needs longer time to train up.....Originally posted by Gordonator:well, i believe ADF people are learning aikido. -
Saf already employing kage bunshin no jutsu. 3 to 1, what else could be better?
-
the sparring part is siong
-
SAF also got a lot fully trained regular ninjas! One smoke grenade, and they are nowhere in sight! Amazing i tell u.
I think Jujutsu is a good martial art for armed forces. Its a very grapple based form of unarmed combat, and suitable for military use. Seriously speaking, u dun need very advanced forms of tkd for soldiers, basic kicking and punching. But being able to grapple is important... Chances are, if 2 soldiers face off unarmed, its not gonna look like some street fighter game or chinese movie, "u punch i block, den counter, dodge ur leg sweep." Rubbish all those stuff are choreographed.
They'd probably end up on the floor trying to strangle each other to death. Thats where jujutsu comes in. -
I actually ranted about this about a year (or what is 2?) ago.
-
maf soldiers are learning Silat
-
-
tkd sucks..
-
I think its japanese jiu jitsu. Either that or they get to choose their own.Originally posted by Gordonator:well, i believe ADF people are learning aikido. -
Combat units learn basic Krav Maga.....
-
singapore last time got invaded by japanese and you ask them to learn japanese skills.
SAF should not learn japanese martial arts. -
no point lah in teaching NSFs well-known unarmed combat, they only serve 2 years. and those techniques takes long time to learn, let alone master.
-
learn Gong Fu lah...weekly lesson for the whole 2 yr NS ...then got power lah... now only so short course wayang only...
-
SAF should teach yoga. Learning to find inner peace is much better than violence.
-
There's a profound difference between TKD in clean fatigues in the training shed and TKD in SBO on the battlefield anyway.
Bayonet fighting would be far more relevant. I think it'll be far better to just add a bayonet lug to the SAR-21 and reintroduce bayonet fighting lessons. -
No no no, learn Muay Thai better. Those who haven't watch the Thai film "Ong Bak" should go rent 1 & watch it.

huh??
NS must learn unarmed fighting 1 meh? then must fight and spar? is dere any physical requirements? wat if u damn weak, then u will keep kena trashed when u spar rite? or will ur partner like let u win? -
Dude...it is very very very toned down. Not at all violent. In fact, it is so non violent and plagued with so many restrictive rules i wonder why they even bother to spar...Originally posted by t88:huh??

Chill dude... I also used to be very weak physically. You'll get stronger with time in the Army, that's for sure.
If anything, UC lessons in the Army are less like true TKD lessions and more like glorified breakdancing sessions. -
Krav Manga shud be the way to go, no fancy moves,just pure all out fury.
