As a part of London Remembrance Day (also known as London Poppy Day) members of the British Royal Marine Corp put on a demo at the London Waterloo station to showcase their unarmed combat system and how it’s utilised in neutralising threats in the battle field when they find themselves without their usual weaponry.

“Some of the guys are giving a demonstration of some of the skills and techniques that you use in case you find yourself [going] toe to toe with the enemy without a weapon.” RM member Henry Taylor explains.

Throughout the demonstration Royal Marines showcase a variety of striking skills, grappling skills( which include a variety of chokes and armbars to subdue their foes) as well as various strategies they employ when they outnumber their adversaries so they can turn the tides back in their favor.

If you wish to learn more about the techniques the British Royal Marine Corp use, you can purchase the manual online, which is chock full of techniques suitable for military members and civilians alike.

TheCorps of Royal Marines (RM) is the United Kingdom’s amphibious light infantry force, forming part of the Naval Service, along with the Royal Navy. The Royal Marines were formed in 1755 as the Royal Navy’s infantry troops. However, the marines can trace their origins back to the formation of the English Army’s “Duke of York and Albany’s maritime regiment of Foot” at the grounds of the Honourable Artillery Company on 28 October 1664. As a highly specialised and adaptable light infantry force, the Royal Marines are trained for rapid deployment worldwide and capable of dealing with a wide range of threats. The Corps operates in all environments and climates, though particular expertise and training is spent on amphibious warfare, arctic warfare, mountain warfare, expeditionary warfare, and its commitment to the UK’s Rapid Reaction Force.
