How to Learn Marine Corps Martial Arts
The Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) began in October 2002. Most active duty Marines and reservists are trained to the tan belt level, a mandatory requirement for all Marines since 2008, according to the Marine Corps Times website. Marines can obtain advanced martial arts ranks after meeting military rank requirements. To become a black belt, Marines must hold a sergeant's rank or higher. Training in Marine Corps martial arts can strengthen your mind and body as you learn an effective method of self-defense.
