Warriors: A film about the Fort Bragg Combatives Tournament

[@cavemanjoe79]

This should be encouraged in every service and every unit. Including Reserves and National Guard units.

[@BboyTurok1990]

caveman joe hell yeah.

[@Richard-lu8ck]

100% agree. I was in the Army in the 80's and never even did pugil sticks.

[@SuperColonel91]

Just like the Israelis do with Krav Maga

[@strikehold916]

The place where time stands still, pain,tears, fear, vomit is part of the soil, minimal sleep,food, internal and external conflicts get resolved, and where men are turned into Warriors...., BRAGG! 82 ABN 1BCT

[@dadabellmon8672]

I was on the Fort Carson Boxing Team back in 94 and Fort Brag was always tough. They were always the team that people noticed were there. They always had a super boxer, lol. I grew up in SC 40 minutes away, and my uncle who was in the Navy took us to a boxing match in Fort Brag.

[@crashgear08]

The Captain said something that is SO True you cannot learn CQB in combat first... It can save your life especially when you look at Syria, Isis etc and they are training KIDS in CQB that are half these guys ages.. We need to instill the fact that in Combat there are NO Rules in a Fight... Sorry but my guys lives mean more to me than my life..

[@raymondtorales5810]

So true, our troops should be first then anybody else!

[@nathanwilson5433]

Hooah, great film. Those fights were better than most on UFC.

[@mcclusho]

Crazy seeing Captain Anderson in this video. HE definitely had more energy than the rest of us when he was helping with coaching us in wrestling back in high school.

[@chunky144]

Great film! Thanks for a look at how far the combative program has come since I was in. I took part in and won the heavyweight division of the first ever 82nd Airborne combative tournament. That was way back 2002. It was grappling and submissions only.

[@mattphinney9651]

That build up to the last match got me amped!

[@raymondtorales5810]

Amen! I was wishing we had that going when I was in the Marines.

[@darinshort4255]

Combatives has been part of BCT/OSUT since 2000/2001ish (2002 for sure). Obviously not to the high level shown in this video, but EVERY PVT has a series of matches that they must fight in. This is an outstanding video and my respect to all in this and especially to the A-team (close family friends that know who I am talking about).

[@jfr6so]

What an awesome video. Hoping to go to Combative Level 3 this July!

[@TheEastbaycop]

Awesome stuf! Proud to be an American, glad these men are on our side.

[@matthewalimurung2549]

5 years later, and this documentary is so eye opening as to why combatives training is necessary.. but should also be necessary for police departments today.

[@MonteGould]

Great video! Motivational to see our Soldiers being trained and inspired in this way. Tim's a class act! Best of luck to all of you.

[@TheCompanion-gx5bz]

Wow. This film is great. It should be shown in high schools throughout the country. Does a terrific job of demonstrating the spirit and ethos that turn ordinary American kids into the most admirable of men.

[@dadabellmon8672]

I wish they had this when I was in the Army.

[@erikklase6613]

Love army combatives you guys are truly modern warriors much respect much love and thank you all for your service

[@37042Helltiger]

Such a great video. The subject matter was obviously a winner, but the cinematography and editing were incredible as well. To all soldiers past and present, take your combatives seriously, but have fun while you do it!

[@martywhitevan]

Thank you for your generosity!

[@Ferdrew-rp5ey]

INCREDIBLE documentary/film !! It is Wise to repeat; "to lead by EXAMPLE !" Because of those high ranking ones in than cage 😮 !! ☝️👏💯💯👊✊🇺🇸🙏

[@growing367]

Respect, this itself is a motivational video

[@nicholasquintero1080]

God damn that was an inspiring video. Excellent job RU

[@13budkingjason]

that was an awesome movie.

[@roboknee30]

One hell of a video. You guys did a great job putting this together. It definitely makes me miss the mat.

[@mudfan061]

Great film. Well done RangerUp

[@kevynhansyn2902]

just Subbed to your channel the other week (Thanks Matt Best), and I been watching alot of your vids n messages. I did several West PACs while in the Navy and its good to know that your humor is in the right places and thank you for that. Just watched this video and tho it was a couple years ago, I was kinda pissed how the mentioning of "budgets" was so truthfully used in it. From the past years since I been out, I and numerous old Salty Dogs as well, we seen how America's military is getting really soft and we'll "pussified". Not having a budget for things like this to keep our troops in tip top shape and combat ready is just another way for our country to get soft and bitch about alot of crap. The defence dept rather spend money in the wrong places and not on our service members where we really need it. This was a great movie and keep up the good work.

[@sammyslutrock]

thank you.. America deserves the best from one of the best!!

[@DualWieldViking]

Incredible.

[@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13]

That was absolutely awesome!!!!

[@kylemc1979]

Awesome video! Every American needs to watch this!

[@herasmito]

Beautiful!

[@lenanbo1]

Awesome, pretty much sums it up...keep doing what u do and make some more like this I'm sure it would enlighten a lot of people

[@ThatGurlAmy]

This is so inspirational, Love it,

[@josephbedwell3164]

I would love to see this in every unit.

[@TheOnlySaneAmerican]

The fight between the colonels was cool.

[@combatmedic6414]

McClean, holy crap dude. You are a beast still. Hope all is well if you can read this.

[@raymondtorales5810]

Awesome men of valor!

[@CardonaJason]

You guys are awesome. Keep it up and stay safe.

[@johanroodt2953]

love this great job nick

[@GattoriSancho]

where can i learn mma in fort bragg?

[@cowboy4488]

I appreciate this video and all the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice just so I could go to sleep at night and live my life when I get older I want to go to the army and be a green beret because that’s what my grandpa was in Vietnam and he don’t really talk about the killing and all though he has to me a few stories about him killing people but never talks about his brothers dying and stuff like this just makes me appreciate you guys

[@z0phi3l]

Awesome video, had they had this in the 90's when I was in, I might have stayed in longer I agree with the sentiment that a few had, this should be part of every Soldier's basic training, the "hand to hand" combat training we had was even to my cherry eyes woefully pathetic, for us, less than a day with a few tosses, we spent more time in the bayonet training that has a whole lot less usefulness, IMO

[@psalm14401]

good documentary! i never knew that the military does this.

[@chunky144]

Blessed be the Lord my rock that guides my hands in war and fingers in battle. :)

[@FINALLYOUTAFTER7]

Chills.

[@matthewemery4205]

impressive matt from canada

[@tonydapony7301]

As for reserve units this is very much encouraged

[@OSAMAxTooFly]

Ha LTC Anderson now ! Has that same mindset and leadership as shown. By far the best CDR I worker with!

[@jmacinnes1]

Good job! That is excellent

[@Chrisrico1]

Awesome guys!

[@ModernSamuraiProject]

Inspiring!

[@LR0586]

Awesome video

[@jamesfoster7735]

Awesome!

[@R3spectTheV3t]

amazing video

[@rorkan138]

Has anyone figured out why why time slows down, everything weighs more, and miles are longer at Makcall yet?

[@VanillaGorilla502]

Awesome.

[@benjiboi6669]

imagine your a really good fighter gettin to the final stages of this then its like you versus tim kennedy and your like well f**k

[@ericnelson5321]

Due to budget cutbacks?? The military has an unlimited budget for the most part, I don't understand

[@185rick]

looks like the sports USA building on long street!

[@swift__]

An absolute must... should be part of every armed forces 💪🏻👊🏻🇺🇸

[@OmgWydStepBro]

I hope my sergeant writes off on my combatives packet!!! I'm fuckin hype!!!!!

[@Syn_regiment]

Can you please make an army ranger motivational video? Thanks

[@Rfighter7]

Is this for the Guard? If so i'll be there

[@cavtroopermunoz]

I took the combatives course back in 1993 when it was 20 hours. Looks like it has really expanded at Bragg. Francis do you still teach that course? My stomach still hurts. lol

[@audiakeny7063]

Nothing to prove..

[@edwardelkins8723]

I don't think its really good to make sport out of combat training , like ancient greek games warriors. Somehow I think school wrestlers wanted to make a competition out of their wrestling skills , who enlisted. I was a school wrestler as a kid , it was a game to me. I did my basic training at ft benning it was work to me. I took kickboxing classes and we used hockey masks and would go full force but it was just for the thrill of it. I learned kung fu arm breaking techniques and some ninjitsu, some muay thai and grappling, but unless you are really close to the enemy like an intelligence officer or undercover agent or on a special mission like in the old cold war, I don't know what kind of bare handed fighting there is to do. I met lots of veterans and none of them ever mentioned bare handed fights they were in other than bar fights with civilians or each other. When the green beret talks about bullets flying over their head, they train people at Basic using live fire training doing low crawls under live round fire. I don't know if they still do that because some Drill Got killed during a training exercise, when I went through basic they told us we may be the last cycle for the live fire training. However, guys went right over to war during the Iraq War , they didn't do this MMA training. If I go ask most vets they probably never did MMA training while in the military.

[@dicktracy6519]

Pretty Cool I can dig it. Seems more like MMA and BJJ matches more than something a solider would use on the battle field but respect to them

[@willgetcarriedfornudes1417]

Keep in mind that Boxing, Grappling, etc techniques are pretty practical even with all the gear on.

[@elgroomez]

YURRRRRRRRRRRRRRK

[@audiakeny7063]

Was Marco..

[@muachaeragusa]

fayettenam!!!!!!

[@chaddressler7633]

BAMF

[@TheOnlySaneAmerican]

If these guys are so highly trained, why did the guy in the blue corner, who to lost to Anderson, do a typical rookie reaction to be mounted? Where was the upa or any mount escape for that matter?

[@ShinobiHOG]

Wow

[@josephdavis3011]

can anyone tell me if this is at all similar to how australian army/sas/commandos train? or if australian army even hold combative comps like this? If not, can australians compete in the US?

[@arvitkopliku7232]

Airborne All The Way!!!

[@audiakeny7063]

Hung mun..

[@Liam1991]

MCMAP is better!

[@glenngutshall5507]

is this even still done in today's "females in combat roles", "no grenade training", "no PT standards" Army?

[@g-manjams]

Grenade training is still a thing. Pt failures are being booted out. And I have yet to see a female in a combat mos. I know it's allowed, but I haven't seen it yet...

[@joshpec5495]

my sergeant made me watch this, 0/10

[@Djent7779]

I dont like the word"warrior" becuase it conotates wreckles violence and lust gir carnage and blood shed. Terrorists are "warriors". Military personell are soldiers. Soldiers fight for freedom and peace

[@g-manjams]

All soldiers are warriors, not all warriors are soldiers.
