Hi All
I firstly came on here to ask Bob Spour a simple question. However here is a quick intro.
From 17 I have been in uniform joined the Junior Parachute Regiment then to Depot then off to 3 Para so on and so forth to other things. During P Coy the test to earn you maroon machine we had to do a test called 'Milling' two men some 15 oz gloves and one minuet to knock seven bells out of each other. back then no gum shields no head guard. you lose points for defending or blocking. You just went for the head and kept going, its reason was to see if a guy during a firefight would stick his head up, locate the point and enemy fire and return rounds. or RTR.
During my time I have learnt styles of Krav Maga, it varies from region to country in my experience. Personally I have had to resort to it only once on operations to restrain an un happy Serb during Kosovo in July 99 when in Pristina, every other time its been 5.56...mostly.
Hope to pick up some good insight into other fighting styles and training tips as well as other things, mostly so to maintain my all ready crumbling knackerd body, 21 years of Parachuting takes a lot out you, believe me.
