The Navy Seals use a combination of many styles of martial arts as part of their training. Although the techniques come from a variety of different art forms, they all produce devastating results and have quick movements. Combat jujitsu, Krav Maga and Muay Thai present the majority of the training disciplines to the Navy Seals.

SIGNIFICANCE

One of the most integral parts of Navy Seal training is the training of martial arts. Aside from possessing excellent physical fitness and stamina, Navy Seals are known for being proficient in a variety of types of combat training. Seals are adapt in explosives and firearms for long-distance combat. For combat situations where hand-to-hand is necessary and weapons are not practical, martial arts training is put into play.

IDENTIFICATION

According to USNavySeals.com, Close Quarters Battle, also known as CQB, and Close Quarters Combat, also know as CQC, are the two types of martial arts that are used by the Seals. They follow two principals. First, the Navy Seal has to get near his target before being detected. Second, the Navy Seal must possess the abilities to kill his enemy quickly and efficiently. These martial arts are actually a combination of over 50 different styles of martial arts. Close Quarters Combat uses only techniques that can cause lethal damage. Combat jujitsu, Muay Thai and Krav Maga are three such martial arts that have a strong influence in Close Quarters Combat.

MUAY THAI

Muay Thai is often referred to as the science of eight limbs. This discipline uses legs, knees, elbows and hand to deliver powerful strikes. The roundhouse kick is one strike that separates other martial arts from Muay Thai. When performing a roundhouse kick, the kicker pivots his front foot 45 degrees in order to use his hips in the kick, which in turn creates significantly greater force. Kicks like this are an excellent weapon in situations that call for long range hand-to-hand combat. The elbow strike that are incorporated in Muay Thai are good for close range hand-to-hand combat as they are effective for cutting your opponent's facial area, causing him to bleed and potentially obstructing his vision.

KRAV MAGA

Krav Maga is popular in Navy Seal Training, as well as many other military agencies, because the fundamentals learned can be helpful against multiple attackers. According to an article in the New York Times, Krav Maga is based on street fighting and it uses the most effective techniques from this form of combat. The use of hard surfaces, such as the fists and elbows, against the vulnerable areas of your opponent, such as the stomach or throat, is the guiding principle of this martial art. In order to at least stun your opponent, every strike must be hard and quick.

COMBAT JUJITSU

According to Alljujitsu.com, combat jujitsu is one of the deadliest forms of martial arts in the world. It is very different for regular jujitsu, which is intended for counteracting an attack and self-defense. Combat jujitsu actually instigates an attack and defeating an opponent using lethal force. Navy Seals find jujitsu beneficial as it uses both chokes and quick take downs, both of which allow the Seal to quickly and quietly incapacitate his target.

WHAT STYLES OF MARTIAL ARTS DO NAVY SEALS LEARN?

Apr 27, 2011 | By Jason Jensen

Navy SEALs learn a variety of martial arts to become highly efficient hand-to-hand combatants. They are encouraged to learn as many styles as they can, but there are a few that are staples in their training. For a Navy SEAL, martial arts are integral to their safety and their ability to execute covert missions and deal with enemies in close quarters if need be. This is why SEALs only focus on the most effective martial arts.

BOXING

Most people don't consider boxing to be a martial art, but its application is just as effective in a street fight as it is in a ring. Navy SEAL combat training starts with basic elements that come from traditional boxing. Navy SEALs are taught first and foremost to be practical fighters. There's no room for fancy, spinning kicks or backflips when your life is on the line.

COMBAT JIUJITSU

Combat jiujitsu is not like ordinary jiujitsu or the typical hand-to-hand combat techniques taught in other branches of the military. Combat jiujitsu is for combat, not self-defense. Self-defense is for countering attacks and protecting yourself. Combat jiujitsu is offensive. It is for attacking quickly and eliminating your opponent.

KRAV MAGA

Krav maga is the official martial art of the Israeli armed forces. It is highly effective and designed for real-life situations, such as street fighting. Many of krav maga's techniques are for disarming armed opponents who may be attacking you with a gun or a knife, which is why it's ideal for Navy SEALs. It teaches you to abandon flashy, complicated moves typical of most martial arts and rely on your instincts.

MUAY THAI

Muay thai is one of the most brutal forms of hand-to-hand combat in the world. Its practitioners are taught to viciously strike their enemies with the hard bones of the shins, elbows, fists and knees. It is the most popular sport in Thailand. When the gloves are off, it is extremely effective in real-life situations. It is ideal for close-quarters combat, which is how Navy SEALs are taught to engage their enemies.

Martial Art is integral to the Navy SEALs training. Martial Art training prepares the SEALs to conduct their covert operations in enemy territory without compromising their positions and missions. Navy SEALs take a lot of pride in close quarter combat and are nothing less of being lethal. But if you are wondering what is the specific martial art style that SEALs learn then the answer is that there is no specific style. SEALs are required to learn as many different martial arts styles as possible.

The Navy SEALs combat style is normally known as CQC (Close Quarters Combat) or CQB (Close Quarters Battle). This is considered as the perfect fighting style of small units like the SEAL Units. SEAL units at times engage their enemy using personal weapons within a short range including hand-to-hand combat. CQC or CQB normally includes very fast moves with lethal results.

The martial art techniques learned by SEALs are a part of the Close Quarters Combat course that includes crucial moves from over 50 different types of martial arts. Some of the martial art techniques learnt and used by Navy SEALs comes from Jujitsu, Ninjitsu, Kung Fu, Karate, Judo, Krav Maga, Muay Thai, Sylat Knife Techniques, Western Boxing, and much more. Since there is more than one form of martial arts hence it is known as mixed martial arts. The most common mixed martial art forms used by SEALs include Muay Thai, Brazilian Jujitsu, and Krav Maga, the latter is the martial arts technique adopted by Israeli Commandoes as well.

The most popular of all mixed martial art techniques taught to Navy SEALs is the combat Jujitsu. Classified as an extreme martial art, it is used by SEALs as well as other Special Operation Units of the US Military like the Green Berets. Combat Jujitsu is a hand-to-hand combat training but is far different from the techniques used for self defense. The techniques of combat Jujitsu are used for closing on to your opponent and causing severe damage leading to death. The techniques make the SEALs extremely lethal in hand-to-hand combat as well.

Here’s what the US Navy SEALs Combat Manual says:

If it is absolutely necessary to take out a sentry then there are 2 important factors that have to be considered:

a)Get as close to the sentry as is possible without being detected

b)Kill him swiftly and silently

Silence and speed are essential for all Navy SEAL operations. When a Navy SEAL is operating in enemy territory and have to free POWs (Prisoner of War) then the initial assault will be hand-to-hand combat. They will ensure that they are in control of all key sentry points including overhead watchtowers. If they have to conduct this mission in silence then the SEALs will use combat jujitsu techniques and the only weapon they may use is a knife. They can’t use guns with silencers all the time as a sentry falling down on the ground can also make a sound and this may alert the enemy!

What the Israelis use is called Haga Na. It is the older/complete system, Krav Maga is simply the watered down commercial version which popularises Israel and creates martial arts tourism for them. The Chinese Government do a similar thing with Shaolin and certain Tai Chi systems, because that is all the outside world laregly known about and like, the CG pays hand selected Masters to popularise these arts around the world and promote Chinese culture as a consequence.

As Haga Na is to Krav, so Combat Aikido, Ninjitsu and authentic Jujitsu is to BJJ ie designed for the battlefield rather than business or the ring. The same is true for Kick Boxing (remember that), the most evolved (watered down) version of the Thai Arts. Muay Thai is more dangerous as it uses elbows and knees to strike, but Muay Chaya, Muay Boran and at the highest level Bokator, these are the authentic/complete battlefield arts which the Thai/Vietneme do not openly teach to the west. I trained with a guy who has run a Wing Chun/JKD/MMA/Muay Thai academy for 20 years and has trained with Dan Insonto, Gracies, Kwok amonst many others. He trained in Thailand for a number of years, not just 2 month, and was only ever able to get a slight insight into a few basic techniques of the ancient arts. I was lucky to learn a few of these from him. Where as muay thai just strikes, the father arts focus on joint capture and destruction, with strikes kill rather score points. Bokator also teaches a variety of weapons. But again, there is the outward facing commercial promotion you will find on yoi tube and what have you, and the inward facing lethal knowledge.

The latest mantar in the MA world is everyone is anyone, claims to have taught Police, Special Forces etc etc. Think about this, why would any special forces service in the world who had 2 brain cells tell all their enemies what their fighting knowledge was? This is all self promotion, wherever you see these articles etc, you will nearly always find DVDs for sale or class info for the author promoting his business.

I have also been lucky enough to have met Masters who teach authentic Silat and Wing Chun, and the training, conditioning and application is very different to what regulated schools and seminars teach.

Systema is the latest craze. It is certainly a great art, with a great appreciation of soft body, positioning, baiting, weapons, efficient power generation etc, but it is coincidentally near identical to certain Japanese systems. In any case, why would Spetznaz openly teach you their secret art for a few dollars...?

Sangat, Be careful of business/media/internet propoganda. Don't fall for the 'trends'. Ie in the west kung fu was popular in the 70s, karate in the 80s, kickboxing, then muay thai, then Krav, then Filipino now Systema.

No one system is necessarily better than any other. If you really want to kearn anything, find a teacher who has learnt from authentic masters, or go to china, japan, philipines and find those masters yourself (and even then be careful or MA tourism, as there are many sham schools). Do proper research i.e. Don't rely on articles or totally surface/biased forum threads. Explore, meet people, read, observe and keep your mind open. Don't fall for any cultish mentality, the MMA is best the latest cultish mentality (backed up media, because it generates £100m's).

Decide whether you want learn something that is popular, gets you fit, you can compete in/make a name fir yourself, teaches you higher aspects ie healing/breathing/internal energy generation, connects you to your roots, works against weapons or multiples or any mix of the above.

Muay thai boxing combat ji jitsu krav maga are considered the most dangerous martial arts by navy seals

Don't waste time with niddar singhshastar vidya

Other scam schools

Seriously, your gonna use this thread as well to try and slate Nihang Niddar Singh?

There is already another thread open for you to discuss this (you should know, you started it).

If you don't like Nihang Niddar Singh Ji because of differences in beliefs, ideologies etc. thats your choice, but can you not put all of your misconceptions and bitterness to the side for a moment and attempt to appreciate the technical and historical integrity of this martial art?

You've shown from your posts that you do have an interest in various martial arts, so for someone so learned, why can you not see Shastar Vidiya for what it is, a timeless and authentic indian martial art?

There are students of many different martial arts (Karate, Kung Fu, Nijitsu, TKD, even those who have left Gatka etc) who come and train at the various akharas. Are you saying they are all wrong? That they've all been deceived? That they are so thick that they can't recognise a kangeroo martial art when they see one?

As you know, Nihang Niddar Singh Ji has also participated in various martial arts seminars / camps etc. If SV is a load of rubbish, why would they keep inviting him back?

As they say in most martial arts: Leave your ego at the door.

Koi the reason I say this abouyt shaster vidya is look at its hand to hand combat system

If sikhs learn niddar singhs hand to hand system their at greater risks of being knocked out on the street

Go watch the video 7 min mark and 11 min mark

Those techniques are so stupid so please learn real martial arts that you can use

Dude I already exposed others peoples lies about niddar singh you have people saying niddar singh has open challenges and who ever beats him will become the new coach and he'll step down but when I emailed his school about this they denied the claim and said they refuse to compete and don't have open challenges

Their bin claims in other threads they spar with kara which makes me laugh

Dude niddar singh martial arts school is just your average school and when you look at the hand to hand system he teach's you will know that its all lies that muay thai fighters and wrestlers go learn from him

And it shows how pathetic some ppl can be for falling for the lies

Kash the flash gill sikh muay thai fighter former 4 time world champion and has school in birmingham

Their are thousands of martial arts out their created for war

But when you narrow it down a few are far more advanced then the rest

A lot of martial arts schools are jokes they just have fancy moves for demonstrations

Khaalis you sound like most of the traditional martial arts schools out their including the one I went to as a kid that they know the real kung fu or or this martial art and what they teach is to deadly to prove that it works so they just do fancy demonstrations and martial art shows

Reason most traditional martial arts schools make the same claim is cause their losing students and their buisness is going under thanks to all the promotions from japan to south africa to brazil were you had tournments to see which is the best martial art on their with no rules fighting and you had the best from each martial art compete

Khaalis in are private convos I explained to you how your philosophy goes against that of bruce lee's

As well you made the claim that israel wants to learn ninjitsu over krav maga yet I asked you to provide me evidence cause I can't find it and you havnt

Which has me saying your making this stuff up and misleading singhs into wanting to learn martial arts that are not the most effective

If you do teach khaalis could you give me your name so I can google it and see your not making things up

And bruce lee talked about inovating martial arts and making them more effective and easier to learn

Martial arts continues to evolve were the techniques are getting more simple and effective

But khaalis why do the navy seals train in krav maga muay thai boxing and ji jitsu more then any other martial art

People who believe conspiracys about martial arts and how their kept secret are no different then people who believe 9 11 was an inside job

Conspiracy's are dime a dozen but one thing is nothing stays secret for to long till someone opens their mouth and if you learned this secret martial art chances are others have to and exposed it to the world

Bruce lee exposed martial arts to the world

Lol, Bruce Lee did not even finish his Wing Chun syllabus, but still, he incorporated much of it in JKD. He also incorporated Japanese kicks (courtesy of Chuck Norris) western boxing and his weapons knowledge was Filipino (courtesy Dan Insosanto). His philosophy was simply based on his experience. In any case, he only became famous because he was an actor, there were thousands like him in Hong Kong, his partial Sifu Ip Man was a real expert in combat, having fought in many challenges even into old age (with help from a little opium).

Your reliance on good old Bruce just shows your lack of education. In terms of Wing Chun, Ip Mans style is only one of many, there are actually (imho) much more combative and lethal traditional versions of WC which exist (known about in China, but not so much outside).

If you ever bothered to study Bruce Lees writings you would know that he held other lesser known Foshan boxing styles in high regard for their multiple opponent destroying ability.

In any case, Im not sure where you got the conflicting idea from. I have no problem with innovators (and BL was certainly a good one) each to their own, I am too am guilty of the same.

The only thing that is annoying to me is people who come here as experts and haven't the faintest 'personal' experience of the plethora of great martial arts that exist. And are so naive as to think that they are actually learning what the top security forces in the world are learning, who are also apparently 'cool' about potential enemies having common knowledge about hiw they would engage them h2h :-)

Look up David Haliva (as you like to educate yourself via the internet) a popular Ninjitsu dude teaching Israelis Police/Special Units, not too different to Systema stuff, must be the common traditional Japanese ancestory. I like him, he has a decent understanding of positioning, footwork and body mechanics. You probably won't believe the stuff he does works because you are delving in blocking/hard/linear styles. The only way to truly assess is to experience.

Until you can differentiate between 'the ring' vs 'the street' you will not be able to understand why one size does not fit all.

Thanks.

khaalis when someone doesn't know what their talking about and keep talking they get caught

Now time to expose you

Just like navy seals the israeli commandos take aspects from as many martial arts as they can to use

navy seals focus most of their training with ji jitsu muay thai boxing krav maya and israeli commandos we know focus most their time on krav maga

You made the claim israel is looking to replace krav maga with ninjitsu and if you would like i can post the comment

Their is no evidence for such thing

LOL its funny all you did was find a name of a guy who teach's ninjitsu in israel rather then provide any evidence israel wants to replace krav maga

Now how i caught you you won't provide any evidence that you teach i asked for a name or a website or youtube clips but your claim is that you learned this secret martial arts hundreds of years old and you can't expose it hahahahaha only an <banned word filter activated> would believe you

you claimed niddar singh has open sparring sessions with anyone in his akhara i emailed them they don't accept any outside challenges and I've posted their email many times so second lie you bin exposed on

third lie their is no evidence israel wants to replace krav maga

and yes i go to the internet cause their's more information on the internet then you can find in the library and newspapers and i look for credible websites and i look for two sides of the debate

Now an <banned word filter activated> would believe their are secret martial arts hidden by the chinese government and these martial arts have bin kept secret for hundreds of years same way only an <banned word filter activated> would believe 9 11 was inside job and bill clinton and george bush belong to the secret organization that did it or da vinci code

these martial arts conspiracy's you talk about that theirs a conspiracy to keep lethal traditional martial arts secret is what most traditional martial arts schools claim to scam stupid people like you

niddar singh makes same claim as you and most traditional martial arts schools do that he knows this martial art that has bin kept secret cause its so lethal yet he was the only lucky one to learn it you believe niddar singh's claims why didn't niddar singh's teacher just start a school and choose students to teach rather then just teaching niddar singh shastar vidya and counting on him to keep it alive

today's age nothing stay's a secret only idiots believe in conspiracy's

reason you should believe articles on what navy seals and israel commandos train in is cause their ex commandos from navy seals and israeli commandos start their own schools and teach what they learned

chris kyle talks about his training in his book and has his own school and learned things like muay thai and boxing

tim kennedy mma fighter green beret go read who the green beret are also fights in strike force same thing reason for him it was so easy to go pro in mms is cause the green beret's basically train in the same things as professional mms fighters

a lot of these ex special forces have their own schools and the fact you didn't know that shows you shouldn't give anyone advice on martial arts

as well do you know how mma was born it was born from no rules fighting were people could see what martial arts worked the best and the once that worked the best were muay thai boxing wrestling ji jitsu and if these martial arts worked the best why wouldn't they work the best in street fighting

go read how ufc started

please you still didn't explain how niddar singh's techniques work really well for hand to hand combat cause in the video he believes fighting the desi way keeping hands down

Congratulations, you have exposed me.

I did not say Nidar Singh accepts open challenges, I told you he spars with his students (they themselves can confirm that for you here). I know you like character assasination, but don't resort to lying to do it.

I provided you with "1" name of a respected Ninjitsu practitioner who teaches Israeli Special Units/Police, weapons, multiples, situational etc over Krav. You obviously haven't even bothered to do any research on him or find his videos. Nor did you mention that Navy Seals also learn Ninjitsu and have learnt Silat, in your very own article. Police, Special Ops, Army do not invest or spend a lot of time in open hand combat, they spend more time in arms training and have a plethora of more important things to learn in their roles. This is why they choose to learn arts or elements of arts which they can pick up in a few weeks. This has nothing to do with taking the best and leaving the rest. It takes years to learn any true combat system to full efficiency - these systems of open hand and bladed weapons are more useful to civilians rather than security forces, who have guns. Krav teaches teachniques, Muay Thai teaches basic attacks (its the conditioning, energy generation and movement that take years to master - not weeks). Same with Jujitsu, the special forces would only learn a series of limited number of techniques, to master jujitsu takes many years. Many so called ex ops guys teaching Muay Thai/Krav combos have also been exposed as fraudsters who only actually served in the regular army, so don't digest everything the magazine adverts tell you.

That South East Asians do not openly teach their 'traditional' arts to people not from their country is a well know fact. If you had actually travelled to Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia or China you would know this. But you probably don't have a driving license yet, elt alone permisison to travel anywhere by plane. When you are older, go to Thailand and see the respect Muay Thai practitioners have for their ancient combat arts, then try and find someone to teach you those arts. You eyes will finally open. Then try and go to China to do the same. Perhaps then travel to Indonesia to learn genuine Silat, and you will find that you have to be a Muslim before they even entertain teaching you (traditional schools).

You come across as a bullied spotty teenager who took up MMA, and is now seeking revenge on the whole world of traditional martial arts because those who bullied/beat you up, probably did so using some silly karate kid crane kicks.

Heard of Manny Pacquiao, greatest boxer alive today..? Well, FMA Masters are very familiar with the reason for his success i.e. his background in blade fighting, which in case you didn't know - is the forefather for modern boxing movement i.e. bobbing, evasion, outside uppercuts, bolo puches etc. Before the US temporarily took over the PA in the early 1900s and before Filipinos immigrated to the USA and took the world boxing scene by storm, boxing was a very different game. This is a clear example of how 'modern martial arts' can only take certain aspects of traditional combat arts to the ring. MMA people etc do no fight with weapons, and are not allowed to break bones/joints, manipulate spines, attack someone on the floor how they like, tear flesh, fight without groin/gum guard protection etc. They are great athletes and martial artists at the top level, but their training is designed for the ring, they do not make any arguement with that, that is their goal in life - to be champions. People who learn combat weapons based traditional arts, learn for survival, not for competition. The mind set is totally different, they do not choose to fight. This does not mean that they do not have realistic training, you will only know about traditional training and its effectiveness when you leave your bedroom computer and go a dn speak to and train with the very people you are insulting world over.

Rest of your post is the same old monologue diabtribe you been posting since you were Yubacity singh or whatever you called yourself a few months ago, so won't bother responding to that.

Speak to me when yo have figured out how to escape from your very own hellish groud-hog day.

Dhanvaad.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
