From Ranger Up: "There is no sport that more perfectly prepares the Armed Forces for
combat than MMA. You step into the cage and you are alone with your
fears, your skills, your aggression, and your adversary. You have two
choices: Close with and destroy the enemy or run away and ultimately
get beat to shit.
More than just overcoming the fear of
engagement though, the Modern Army Combatives Program (MACP) is a
proven combat multiplier that has saved more than few soldiers' lives
in close quarters combat during OIF and OEF.
Every guy that ever
steps into the cage likes to think of himself as a "warrior", but those
in uniform know what that word really means, and it has nothing to do
with sport fighting.
The back of this shirt says it all:
Some guys train for the cage. For us, the cage is just training."
