Marine Corps Martial Arts Program for your android.

‘Semper Fu’ app teaches Marines martial arts
By Gina Harkins - Staff writer
Posted : Tuesday Apr 10, 2012 9:31:55 EDT

Are you wondering how to properly counter a round kick? There’s an app for that. An Android smartphone application released March 18 allows users to access detailed and illustrative instructions from the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program. It includes lessons in how to gouge an enemy’s eyes, defend yourself in a knife fight or make an enemy lose consciousness in a blood choke.

And as of March 27, the app was being downloaded up to 1,800 times per day.

The app description calls it “Semper Fu” and states it’s great for fighting Taliban, al-Qaida, terrorists, Nazi fascists, communists, oppressive regime governments, dictators and participants in “The Hunger Games.”

How to get it

The app is free, but for now it’s only available on Android operating systems. It can be downloaded through Google Play or AppBrain.

Rob Zel is the 22-year-old lead app developer and founder of AppOpus in Sacramento, Calif. He finds documents online that are public domain and makes them into apps. When he came across Marine Corps Reference Publication 3-02B, he decided the MCMAP manual would be the perfect app.

“I was actually shocked when I found this content,” he said. “People don’t typically think of the Marines having a martial arts program. In most movies … it’s all guns and shooting. You don’t think there’s Bruce Lee-type stuff.”

The app uses the current MCMAP manual, which was last updated in November. The latest edition removed training techniques the Corps deemed too dangerous, such as “body hardening,” or repeated impacts to the body to increase pain tolerance, as well as the use of “live” blades during training.

First Lt. Scott Villiard, a spokesman for the Corps’ Martial Arts Center of Excellence in Quantico, Va., said that as of March 30, Marine officials were unable to comment on the app.

But former Sgt. George Lockhart, who was an instructor trainer at the MACE until last year, said the idea to turn the guide into an app is awesome.

“The more you get the word out about the program, the better,” Lockhart said. “I don’t see the downside. If you’re learning and seeing the technique, this could be a great refresher.”

The app is easier to search than a PDF, Zel said. Marines could use a text-to-speech capability that allows them to listen to the guide, rather than read it.

Apps like this can be a good tool, but they can’t replace true instruction, said Lockhart, who is pursuing a career in mixed martial arts.

Marines must learn the basics through proper training before they can make real use of an app, he said.

“When I get ready for a fight, I look at video of the guy I’m going against,” Lockhart said. “But if I’ve never fought before, and I just watch a video and try and learn it from scratch — that would be stupid.”

Though it’s only Droid-compatible for now, Zel said he plans to expand it to the iPhone.

“The younger generations are calling phones an extension of their bodies,” he said. “I don’t think you can say that about a computer because you can’t carry it everywhere. Now you’ve got this guide in your pocket forever.”
