They checked out on the mat and in the ring

Despite advanced technology on the battlefield, a soldier must be prepared to face in close contact, including in a situation of apparent peace, erstwhile there is no regular war, there are hybrid threats. She showed it even situation with attempts by illegal immigrants to push the Polish border, trying to get into our country from Belarus. The martial arts, specified as ju-jitsu or Ju-jitsu, are surely a complement to the soldier's skill, although it should be remembered that the particularity of fighting even in combat conditions differs considerably from that of the players trained in the ringing or on the mat.

– The fighting strategy in close contact is based primarily on firearms (carbine, gun). A soldier in full care and with a weapon will not be able to perform, for example, advanced kicks. Military training so includes elements specified as close scope shooting and impacting with weapons, but besides boxing techniques, ju-jitsu or judo are very useful and utilized in combat training, specified as punches, low kicks or levers," explains Colonel Maciej Kupryjanczyk, lecturer at the Academy of Land Forces, leader of the combat squad in close contact and specialist shooting training, initiator of combat sports in AWL, thanks to which the fight in close contact was widespread in the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland. And he points out that training soldiers who besides practice individually is, of course, a bonus for them. It allows to test your skills, intellectual and physical opposition and to test yourself in confrontation with your opponent in the ringing or on the mat.
