U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Steven Fountain, from Panama City, Fla., is struck by Marine Corps Sgt. Samuel Land, from Warner Robins, Ga., during a self defense workshop at Camp As Sayliyah, Qatar, April 18. The two service members integrated military martial arts combat training systems to teach basic self defense maneuvers. "Military martial arts programs are too aggressive for basic self defense," said Fountain. "They are often meant for offensive attacks on the battlefield. Our training taught defensive concepts only techniques that can be used to escape an attacker, using lessons learned from Army and Marine Corps martial arts programs."
