Table of Contents

APPENDIX A
PUGIL STICK TRAINING

A pugil stick is a training device used to simulate a rifle bayonet so that effective, but safe, training can be conducted to build proficiency of rifle bayonet techniques. Pugil stick training builds on the techniques used to throw punches. Pugil stick training is the only full contact training provided to Marines in the Close Combat Program. Pugil stick training teaches Marines to function when faced with stress and violence, and it prepares them to deliver a blow and take a blow. It also provides them with the physical and mental skills vital to success on the battlefield.

1. Pugil Stick Training
Design

A pugil stick consists of a stick wrapped in padding at both ends that can be gripped like a rifle. The pugil stick is approximately the same weight and length of an unloaded rifle with a bayonet attached.

Holding the Pugil Stick

The pugil stick is held in the same manner as the service rifle. All movements come from the basic warrior stance. To hold the pugil stick correctly, Marines

  • Picture 2 Use the right hand to grasp the lower end of the pugil stick overhanded.
  • Picture 3 Use the left hand to grasp the upper end of the pugil stick underhanded.
  • Picture 4 Use the right forearm to lock the lower end of the pugil stick against the hip.
  • Picture 5 Orient the blade end of the pugil stick toward the opponent.
Safety Equipment

The following safety equipment must be worn during any pugil stick bout.


Groin Protection. Groin protection protects the groin from an accidental blow. It should be pulled high around the waist to protect the groin area, with the concave portion against the body.


Flak Jacket. The flak jacket provides protection to the body. It is worn completely fastened.


Neck Roll. The neck roll prevents whiplash if Marines receive a blow to the head. The neck roll further supports the head and protects the neck from blows. The neck roll is worn above the flak jacket and below the helmet. The tied end of the neck roll faces the front.


Helmet. A regulation football helmet protects the face and head. The helmet must fit snugly and the chin straps must be adjusted and snapped.


Mouthpiece. The mouthpiece is worn on the upper teeth to protect the teeth.


Gloves. Marines wear gloves to protect the hands if pugil sticks do not have gloves built-in.

Pugil Stick Screening

Prior to pugil stick training, instructors must ask participating Marines the following questions. If a Marine answers yes to any question, he must see the corpsman or a competent medical authority who evaluates him and determines whether or not the he can participate in the training.

  • Picture 6 Are you on light duty?
  • Picture 7 Are you restricted to running shoes by a corpsman or a doctor?
  • Picture 8 Have you fought in a pugil stick bout within the last 7 days?
  • Picture 9 Have you received a blow to the head within the last 7 days?
  • Picture 10 Have you had a concussion within the last 6 months?
  • Picture 11 Have you had dental surgery within the last 24 hours?
  • Picture 12 Do you have stitches or staples on your body?
  • Picture 13 Have you had a shoulder or head injury within the last 5 years?
  • Picture 14 Are you taking a prescription drug?
  • Picture 15 Do you have an ear infection or current sinus infection?
  • Picture 16 Have you had a broken bone within the last 6 months?
Safety Personnel

The following safety personnel are required to conduct pugil stick training:

  • Picture 17 One close combat instructor must officiate the bout.
  • Picture 18 One close combat instructor trainer, commissioned officer, or staff noncommissioned officer must be in the training area to serve as range safety officer.
  • Picture 19 One corpsman must be in the training area.
Training Area

To prevent injury, Marines train on areas with soft footing (i.e., sand or grass). Training mats are not recommended because feet can stick to the mats, prohibiting movement or causing joint injuries by twisting a knee. Bouts should not take place on a hard surface area; e.g., a flight deck or parking lot. A boxing ring may be used to conduct pugil stick bouts; ring dimensions can vary as long as there is ample room to execute the techniques in the training area.

Second Impact Syndrome

Second Impact Syndrome occurs when a second blow to the head produces a second concussion that occurs within 1 week following a previous concussion (before recovery from the first concussion). Second Impact Syndrome causes rapid brain swelling and can cause death. Therefore, there must be 7 days between pugil stick bouts to reduce the risk of severe injury resulting from Second Impact Syndrome. The 7 day separation between pugil stick bouts significantly reduces the possibility of injury, particularly in someone who may have suffered a brain injury or concussion but shows no symptoms.


Any Marine who experiences headaches or the following symptoms after training must be examined by appropriate medical personnel:

  • Picture 20 Blurred vision.
  • Picture 21 Ringing in the ears.
  • Picture 22 Dilation of the pupils.
  • Picture 23 Slurred speech.
  • Picture 24 Bleeding from ears or mouth.
