It isn't about kicking the guys ass, its about killing him. Not much in Parris Island for boot camp or Camp Lejeune for advanced training on "fighting". It was all about killing. Hand-to-hand was a hit to the windpipe or gouging out an eye, if it had to come to that. It was more about a K-bar knife to the heart, kidneys, liver, spinal cord at the neck, etc.

The Corps these days is quite fond of their unarmed combative program, MCMAP (Marine Corps Martical Arts Program). They even have 'belt' ranks for your progression through the program.
