    Staff Sgt. Rafael Garcialopez, right, passes Marine Corps Martial Arts Program fundamentals and knowledge to his squad Nov. 21, Kin Blue, Okinawa, during the culminating event for Marine Corps Martial Arts Instructor course class 1-15. MCMAP focuses on real life hand-to-hand combat survival techniques that also include leadership tie inns that help build confidence and leadership in the Marines. The culminating event pushed the Marines and sailor to their limits mentally and physically while challenging them with MCMAP fundamentals. The Marines and sailor in the course trained for three weeks in order to earn their instructor tab. After earning their tab, they now have the ability to practice and teach the disciplines and lessons they learned from the course. The course was run by Headquarters and Support Battalion, Marine Corps Installation Pacific-Marine Corps Base Camp Butler, Japan. Garcialopez is martial arts instructor-trainer and chief instructor for the course. (Marine Corps Photo by Cpl. Joey S. Holeman, Jr./ Released)
