A recruit demonstrates the basic warrior stance of Marine Corps Martial Arts during a MCMAP class at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, July 15. The basic warrior stance is the starting point of every MCMAP move and is instrumental for balance and power.  Recruits were taught how to throw the lead and rear hand punch as well as the footwork and body position needed to execute the punches effectively. Recruits receive multiple MCMAP classes throughout recruit training and are given a MCMAP test on training day 50 to verify their knowledge of MCMAP fundamentals.
