[edit] Combatives
Why does someone keep removing Combatives from the list of martial arts by country? As the official martial art of the US Army and now US Air Force it has well over a million practitioners and is arguably one of the most widely practiced martial arts in the world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.181.43.51 (talk) 14:12, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- Because the article about Combatives says that the word "combatives" is an Army term for hand-to-hand combat, and is very vague with regard to whether it is a specific discrete style of hand-to-hand combat, or just a descriptive or categorical term. On the talk page, for example, a number of people seemed to think that the word "combatives" was a term that could describe any hybrid martial art taught in a military context. As such, it's more of a category of martial arts, rather than a "type" or "style" like others on the list. I'm more than happy to discuss it, though. Bradford44 (talk) 16:10, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- Additionally (and in contrast), American military arts like Marine Corps LINE combat system (if it weren't a stub) or MCMAP probably should go in the template. Bradford44 (talk) 16:15, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
Catch Wrestling is known as "Lancashire Catch Wrestling" and should be included under the MAs of the United Kingdom. As should boxing arguably. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.230.160.220 (talk) 22:32, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
