SPARTAN TRAINING GUIDELINES

CLOSE COMBAT TECHNIQUES

Every Spartan-IV candidate has basic training in hand-to-hand combat from their previous years of military service, but Spartans are required to learn several fighting styles, as different methods work for different situations. This can mean redirecting the force of a massive Brute's punch with Aikido, disarming an Insurrectionist rebel with Jiu-Jitsu, or taking down a Covenant Elite in close quarters with Krav Maga. Though this may sound daunting, your augmentation gives you the ability to learn new fighting techniques from your opponents--effectively acting as an enhanced "muscle memory" that makes observing and memorizing techniques much easier. To this end, you will be paired with a Spartan who has already mastered the techniques you must learn.
