Hand To Hand Self Defense

What army mos/career teaches the most hand on hand combat?

I am joining the army first off to serve my country. I want an mos/career that teaches the most hand on hand combat. I'm not trying to become some Rambo type but I'm big on self defense and martial arts.

Any MOS can attend the Combatives courses given in FT. Benning or be taught level 1 or 2 on their parent posts by qualified instructors within your unit. Infantry or 18 series SF MOS's aren't the only ones who need to know how to 'throw from the shoulder'. These skills are important to everyone.
The best thing is to learn a martial arts before joining and continue on with your training after. Most of the stuff you learn in BCT is enough to just get your azz kick if you don't know how to fight already.

The Combatives School teaches four instructor certification courses. Students of the first course are not expected to have any knowledge of combatives upon arrival. They are taught fundamental techniques in a series of grappling drills. The basic techniques form a framework upon which the rest of the program can build and are taught as a series of drills, which can be performed as a part of daily physical training. While the course is heavy on grappling, it does not lose sight of the fact that it is a course designed for soldiers going into combat. It is made clear that while combatives can be used to kill or disable, the man that typically wins a hand-to-hand fight in combat is the one whose allies arrive with guns first.

Subsequent courses build upon the framework by adding throws and takedowns from wrestling and Judo, striking skills from boxing and Muay Thai, weapons fighting from eskrima and the western martial arts, all of that combined with how to conduct scenario training and referee the various levels of Combatives competitions.

There are several reasons that the combatives course is taught:

To educate soldiers on how to protect themselves against threats without using their firearms
To provide a non-lethal response to situations on the battlefield
To instill the 'warrior instinct' to provide the necessary aggression to meet the enemy unflinchingly

Level 1 certification should be conducted at the Battalion or Brigade level by a United States Army Combatives School trained Level 3 Battalion Combatives Master Trainer or Level 4 Brigade Combatives Master Trainer. Level 2 certification should be conducted at the Brigade Level by a United States Army Combatives School trained Level 4 Brigade Master Combatives Trainer.
