I've done a little jiu-jitsu (or rather Kel Dog has done it to me). You need some grappling to round out whatever you doing if it doesn't already have it.
I wouldn't have picked it as THE system to teach soldiers because you mostly get tied up with one guy and you're usually on the ground. They may have something else going on as well.
Having said that, anything is better than nothing. If you turn a corner and have to go hand to gland, you're probably grappling almost from the 1st second anyway.
Like I said, I would have used Get Tough! It will work with armor, etc. and is very easy to learn. Probably too old to be considered. Not cool enough. Maybe Defendu should change the name to Offendu and try again. John Kary (American Combatives) teaches monkey stomping to east coast Marines, or did.
