Navy's Martial Arts
The Navy's Navy Special Warfare Group 2 is in the market for somebody who can teach its forces to bring some serious pain. Here's an excerpt from the organization's their solicitation for a contractor to provide "sustainment training in an advanced armed/unarmed combat course of instruction:"
Course instruction shall include Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), Thai Kickboxing, and Kali weapons training. Course of instruction shall incorporate the tactical employment of these hand-to-hand techniques while teaching students how to adapt to different scenarios and specific needs....
Course of instruction will include at a minimum the following fighting techniques:
a. BRAZILIAN JUI-JITSU (BJJ): ground-fighting focusing on body control and submission grappling.
b. THAI KICKBOXING: hand-to-hand combat to include punches, kicks, elbows, knees, standing grappling, and head-butts.
c. KALI TECHNIQUE: weapons, knife and stick fighting.
My favorite part: the contract is listed under the category "Sports and Recreation Instruction." (Thanks for the link, RS).
