Hand-to-Hand Combat vs INfighting / Rory Miller Usage & Stats

The U.S. Army designed Hand-to-Hand Combat (combatives) training to ensure every soldier is tough and adaptive to changing conditions, more confident in their abilities, and equipped with the tools necessary to dominate their environment. Since our original version of the app, the Army has redesigned their program to focus on a more mixed martial arts approach called the Modern Army Combatives Program (MACP). The older manual (Field Manual 21-150), which grew out of experiences in WWII, is still included, but the focus is on the new MACP program. MACP stands apart from the vast majority of martial arts training in that producing actual fighting ability is of primary concern. The mental and physical benefits of training gain their worth from their usefulness in producing more capable soldiers. It bridges the gap between physical training and tactics. The products of a good physical training plan, strength, endurance and flexibility are directed toward the improving the fighting ability. The three phases of basic fight strategy are: - Close the distance - Gain dominant position - Finish the fight To accomplish this MACP took the concept of positional dominance from Jiu-Jitsu, expanded it to the other ranges of combat and blended in techniques from wrestling, boxing, Muay Thai, judo to name just a few. In addition weapons fighting lessons were added from Kali, the western martial arts and the Army Rangers’ own experience from years in the infantry. Hand-to-Hand Combat also includes video clips to help reinforce the material and fitness calculators to help with your training. If you are interested in hand-to-hand combat and military training, this app is one you won’t want to miss.

INfighting / Rory Miller

Develop your close-range combat reflexes. Infighting is close-range combat, in which you defend yourself while simultaneously controlling the opponent’s limbs, transferring his momentum, and forcing him off center. You will learn basic Infighting Building Blocks, including • Moving a Body • Locks • Takedowns • Gouges • Striking • Kicking • Leverage • Strangles and Chokes • Spine Manipulation “What is infighting? You can call it standing grappling. You can call it a variation on clinch range. Infighting is close contact, chest-against-chest, halitosis range. You are close enough to throw, sweep, strike, strangle, gouge, bite...and not too close to kick, if you know how. Infighting has the most possibilities, and thus the most variables, of any fighting range. And it is quick. Distance is time and if you're fighting at zero distance you have no time to waste. Offense and defense cannot be separated. You must be able to act on your opponent without needing to know what the opponent is doing, because by the time you know, it is too late. ‘Many traditional arts work better once you play with them as infighting systems. Infighting is the perfect range, and the perfect game, to integrate your other fighting skills into a unified package that functions below the conscious level.” - Rory Miller This app is available for free download with sample videos, and offers a single in-app purchase to access these safety lessons for the lowest possible cost.

Mr. Miller is the author of several award-winning books and DVDs, including “Meditations on Violence”, “Facing Violence”, “Scaling Force”, and “Conflict Communications”. As an experienced martial artist and veteran correction officer, Rory Miller distills what he learned from jailhouse brawls, tactical operations, and ambushes to explore the differences between martial arts and the subject martial arts were designed to deal with: Violence. In his work, Miller introduces the myths, metaphors and expectations that most martial artists have about what they will ultimately learn in their dojo. This is then compared with the complexity of the reality of violence. Thank you for downloading our app! We are striving to make the best possible video apps available.
