Combatives
(Redirected from US Army Combatives School)
Combatives is the term used to describe the hand-to-hand combat systems primarily used by members of the military, law enforcement, or other groups such as security personnel or correctional officers. Combatives are based in martial arts but are not themselves distinct disciplines.
The US Modern Army Combatives Program was adopted as the basis for the US Air Force Combatives Program in January 2008.[1] Combatives training has also been provided outside of the United States military, for example at Kansas State University which provided a training programme for 2+1⁄2 years before closing it in 2010.[2]
