MCMAP

“[Marine Corps Martial Arts Program] instills certain disciplines and techniques in the Marines enabling them to survive not only in garrison, but combat as well,” said Staff Sgt. Tyson Y. McCoy, the MCMAP instructor with Headquarters for Service Battalion, 2nd MLG.

“We need to adapt and be able to fight in every direction imaginable.” Any active duty Marine is able to partake in the MCMAP courses to earn a higher belt, explained the Ashland, Neb. native.“Each belt has its own requirements,” McCoy explained.

“Students must ensure they meet all minimum qualifications such as rank, physical condition and enough time spent away from work to complete the program.”
