The most effective unarmed and knife fighting for Pakistan Army

[Samurai_assassin]

Philippine martial art of Pekiti Tersia is a deadly knife and sowrd fighting style. Pakistan Army should include this in their training.

Some boxing mixed with wrestling/grappling training will be effective for self defence, though their is little emphasis on hand to hand combat in military doctrine, it simply is not worth the time and effort and it can cause lots of injuries, ie corneal abrasions which can effect eyesight (boxing/striking) and spinal injuries, knee injuries (wrestling/ju-jitsu).....I would rather see jawans spend more time on the firing range than on any exotic arts which in practical terms will have little or no effect in an actual battlefield.

Point taken however learning basic knife strikes and disarm techniques can only further help our jawans to be fully prepared especially when bullets run out the soldiers reach for their knife or dagger and are forced to fight hand to hand for their survival. In such cases the Nepalese Gurkha and I'm pretty sure the Sikhs would draw out their cerimonial sowrds (kirpans & Kukris) to attack the enemy. The Japanese during the Second World War always carried their Samurai sowrd to charge at the enemy once their ammunition finished. Wouldn't be a bad thing for our jawans to learn how to strike and defend with knives sowrds or other sharp instruments.

To learn such skills and make effective use of them requires very time consuming, exquisite and comprehensive training , training which frankly speaking is way, way down the list of requirements for a soldier in a modern battlefield.Kudos friend.

This is ceremonial work in a real knife fight against a non compliant opponent, these techniques are meaningless, they are strictly for show/ceremony.Kudos

Maybe so with the Gurkhas but not with the Philipine Marines. I've attended an exhibition and the strikes are deadly. Pekiti Tersia is not considered a martial art it's a killing art.

No dispute in your comment as a
Soldier has to learn many things. However my point being learning knife attack skills and disarming techniques should also be given importance to some levels. I'm pretty certain the SSG are fully equipped with unarmed combat skills. I feel the regular soldier as well as police / law enforcement agencies should also be given such training. Perhaps this training given to the big mustach 'Paaji' lol

Always thought 'Indiana Jones and the temple of doom' was the best one. Showed who actually ruled india back then as well as today. The usual followers of 'Kali Maa'.

For civilian Police forces or even close protection teams having command of such skills is very important, no question about it.Kudos

All this is just for you. If we were in age of hand combat then this might matter. But today soldiers above all else should be masters of using rifles/pistol, fieldcraft and operating together as a squad.

Learning an additional art isn't a bad thing only equips the soldier to be even better. As I've said if militants or opposing armies in an desolate battle field run out of ammunition there is a chance for hand to hand combat to take place. War is war, the rule book goes out of the window. This is what took the US by surprise during the early days of occupation in AFG. The US servicemen were taken by how determined Taliban fighters were once their bullets had ran out. They ran forward to the US servicemen with sowrds. Would you kindly elaborate what you mean by 'all this is just for you'?

Fast pistol and gun skills are combined with cqc in some cases.
