Brian Prasad, a martial arts instructor trainer with H&S Battalion, MCIPAC, after being sprayed with oleoresin capsicum spray during a Martial Arts Instructor course on Camp Foster, Okinawa, Japan, April 17, 2024. Closely monitored and facilitated by martial arts instructor trainers, the rigorous three-week course prepares Marines to become MAIs by blending intense physical and academic training to perform Marine Corps Martial Arts Program techniques and principles in a multitude of environments. Upon graduation, the future instructors return to their units with the knowledge and skills to supervise and instruct Marines who seek MCMAP belt advancements. Kitts and Prasad are natives of California. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Alex Fairchild)
