U.S. Marine Corps Individual Combat Course.

1. Objective: The objective of the Individual Combat Course is to develop the individual through a process of physical conditioning and individual combat to his fullest potentialities as a fighter.

2. Composition: This Individual Combat Course is composed of 5 phases:

               1. Bayonet Fighting (Marine Method)
               2. Knife and Club
               3. Judo
               4. Hip Level quick firing
               5. Combat Conditioning Exercises

1. Bayonet Fighting: This type of bayonet fighting uses a continuous slashing attack. Recent additions to this system are night fighting and group assault tactics for combinations of two and three bayonet fighters. The recently perfected system of Marine bayonet training uses no dummies or protective equipment. The man-against-man training is designed to condition fighting reflexes and to develop maximum speed and combat timing.

2. Knife and Club: Knife and club tactics are similar in basic movements and are employed as weapons of attack. Governed by the principles of bayonet fighting, knife and club tactics include mixed combat against club, knife, unarmed opponent, and fixed bayonet.

3. Judo: This phase includes shock dispersion, tumbling, judo and disarming. Movements have been carefully selected for effectiveness, speed and simplicity. Techniques were selected from many hand to hand combat sciences including jiu-jitsu, boxing, judo, wrestling, and savate. All are essentially assault movements.

4. Hip level quick firing: This is a method of firing quickly from hip level in close combat. First shots are fired in less than one second effective to a range of 20 yards. This type of firing is intended to supplement the standard aiming methods in close-in fighting situations where speed in getting off first shots is vital.

5. Combat conditioning exercises: This is a system of exercises new in the armed services but long used in college football training for the rapid development of agility, speed, strength, and endurance. Included are fast conditioning marches, alternately trotting and walking at the rate of 5-7 miles an hour for 1 to 2 hour periods. The faster marching rate provides more intensive conditioning and saves training time, in addition to the tactical advantage of developing troops that cover ground at exceptional speed. This conditioning provides much of the physical basis for proficiency in the various modes of individual combat.
