lethal tactical arts for use in close quarter combat warfare, i.e. Military Martial Arts e.g. UAC (British), LINE (USA)
Other combatives systems having their origins in the modern military include Chinese San Shou, Soviet Bojewoje(Combat) Sambo, Indian ACCS Advanced commando combat system and Israeli Krav Maga.

Martial arts on the modern battlefield
As modern warriors continue to refine tactics and techniques utilizing modern weaponry such as handguns and rifles, old concepts seem new again. A good example of this is point shooting which relies on muscle memory to more effectively utilize a firearm in a variety of awkward situations, much the way an iaidoka would master movements with his or her sword. This is now a central part of infantry and special forces weapons training. The Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) is an integrated martial art designed for and executed by all U.S. Marines.
Other combatives systems having their origins in the modern military include Chinese San Shou, Soviet Bojewoje(Combat) Sambo (martial art), Indian ACCS Advanced commando combat system and Israeli Krav Maga.
In addition to these new forms, traditional hand-to-hand and spear techniques continue to see use. Examples of this include Combatives and bayonet jousting techniques, both taught by the U.S. Army. As urban combat and close quarters combat become increasingly the norm, the former is likely to see more use this century than last, and while the bayonet may seem a relic of history to many, the weapon has seen use by the British Army as recently as the invasion of Iraq [2].
