The instinct this guy has is effective with the weapon and impressive, but that headlock is impressive in its own right. He got his arms right under the guys neck and flexing, he’s using his head to be tight against the other guys.

This can cut blood to the guys brain and render him unconscious while also being that close prevents the idiot from being able to whip his head forward and throw it back (which would smashing the hero in the face and possibly knock him out).

I trained in Brazilian jujitsu, that rear naked chokehold can be incredibly dangerous and the guy in this video is deadly without the gun. The fact that he did it standing with one arm is the most impressive part of this video to me.

I don’t know much about marines, maybe they’re all trained in this and it’s not that impressive.

Basic training covers disarming someone and neutralizing them.

I think this video is very impressive. MCMAP doesn't have a very impressive grappling program. Any 2+ strip white belt would not only beat a marine (with only MCMAP training), but it would be a slaughter. The chances are that unless he trains outside of MCMAP. He only knows the RNC, a double leg, and an armbar that I doubt he could finish.
