  Hi people. Heard from people that a certain unit conducts Krav Maga (israeli martial art) training for its troopers, i find it interesting! Would like to find out more about this certain martial art. Besides that, there's also Aikido and Jujitsu training in another certain unit...are there any units out there that also practice the above mentioned? Also are there other kinda martial arts that the SAF uses for its troops?

  Damn, and all this time I thought it was called ninjitsu.
  
  Grab a rifle by the muzzle, run after the other poor bastard screaming, "Nee NBCB, wah lup ler chit eh! Ler mai zhao! Ler mai zhao!". What martial arts do you need?

  Good one, Lordz - we have to add that to the SAF's training syllabus!
  
  Oh, it works, all right. We had this fellow called Teo who used to fight like that, and every time we went for BTEC, we used to piss ourselves laughing watching him chase a section of enemy single-handed, yellin' and cussin' all over the place.

  Yes, we do martial arts in the SAF. Marskmenship fundamentals for one. Field craft as well. And depending on your vocation you may learn how to fire some bigger guns.
  
  These are all martial arts. If you are talking about other more primitive forms of MA...what is the point. Nowadays bang bang bang booom.....eeeeeewwweeeee....baa-boooom!
  
  No need to hiak! Hiak! wa-taaaa!

  According to the chief CCT instructor, the moves that they teach in ICCT and ACCT are a jumble of various martial arts skills.
