The 9 ° Military Combat Method Instructors course has just started at the headquarters of the Parachuting Training Center (CAPAR) in Pisa. The admission selections were attended by little more than 100 aspirants, 40 of whom were admitted to the course. The staff admitted showed a much better than average physical preparation, brilliantly overcoming the battery of particularly demanding physical tests.
MCM is a hand-to-hand combat system that was developed by departments of the Army Special Forces and is a combination of different martial disciplines: Karate, traditional Ju Jitsu, Aikido, Pancrazio Athlima and others. Since 2014 it has officially become the hand-to-hand combat system of the Armed Force.
This discipline has been studied in order to guarantee the survival of the battlefield on the battlefield without the use of firearms. The lessons offer the future Instructors a complete education, both on the combat disciplines and on the trauma and psychology of the fighter.
The current one is the third Instructor course that takes place on the Pisa site, but the first to use the new infrastructure recently built and dedicated to hosting MCM courses.
At present, the Army has more than 250 level 1 Instructors to which, at the end of the 7 course weeks, the 9 course goers will be added.
