If you are interested in martial arts, hand-to-hand combat and military training, this app is one you won’t want to miss.
I was am a tan belt in mcmap and this book is helped me get it and taught more for the rest of the belts
I’m just using this as a self defense manual. Had it for not that long and all the techniques seem to work good as ever! Totally worth the $2.
Seems clearly written by a "fanboy" rather than someone experienced with the subject. I'm offered very little information that anyone with an entry level martial arts background wouldn't already know. Maybe, MAYBE worth a dollar for the info. I pity the creator for probably having worked very hard to create a subpar product and I wish you luck at scamming more people. I will continue to use my overpriced app and change this review if I learn something useful. The app may have genuine Marines history/ info but I want the martial arts knowledge not the fanboy marine stuff
Breaks everything down to the smallest detail to learn everything you need to know.
I love the app just wish u had an entire chapter based on different types of weapon use other than that it's amazing
It would be cool if there were videos. Some of the moves confuse me so videos would help a lot and make the app more awesome
I'm a martial arts instructor in the usmc and this app covers all of tan and grey belt moves and some green belt moves. But what about the rest of green belt, brown, and black belt? It has a good start just needs to commit all the way through to be as effective.
