Thank you for your reply. It is not "Sir".
I just watched some video of the competition - looks like the UFC to me. I am aware of the Larsen connection.
You say combatives techniques are not too dangerous for competition. I beg to differ. True combatives are indeed, unless they are pulled. Are nutcrackers, chin jabs, fingertip to the throat, bronco stomp or EOH to the back of the neck allowed? Are they conducting the competition in fatigues and boots with full equipment? I saw Speedos and half-gloves. I saw a lot of mounts and guards and riding. I also saw competitors tapping out.
I have the utmost respect for the fighters with the discipline to be successful in the ring sports. I have no problem with competition to build espirit de corps. I do have a problem with MMA or UFC-style fighting being called military combatives.
Good luck to you. I'll stick with Applegate, Cestari, McCann and Fairbairn.
