The combative class is a product from the martial arts Jiu-Jitsu master Royce Gracie targeted to teach military members hand-to-hand combat. This 40-hour class of grappling with armbars, choke holds, and submission holds are applications used to give military personnel an increase in awareness and confidence. Nigaglioni is assigned to Division Special Troops Battalion, Multi-National Division – Baghdad. Rentmeester serves with Battery C, 2nd Squadron, 44th Air Defense Artillery, 39th Brigade Combat Team, Multi-National Division – Baghdad.
