Martial Arts Center of Excellence
Named Raider Hall
Albert Einstein cautioned that World War III would be fought with nuclear
weapons, but World War IV would be fought with sticks and stone. He might
well have added martial arts as it is conducted with little or no technology.
While we do not advocate hand to hand combat as the primary weapon of
modern warfare, proficiency in its conduct is the ultimate assurance of
living to fight another day.
World War II Marine Raiders are honored by the Martial
Arts Center of Excelence at the Quantico Virginia Marine Base being
named Raider Hall. On its opening the center was dedicated by Charles
Meacham, President of the United States Marine Raider Association.
The Martial Arts Center will employ the training methodology exemplified
by that of Marine Corps veteran Grand Master Ed
McGrath.

program, directed and managed by Lieutenant Colonel Joseph C. Shusko USMC

PATROL is proposed outside the entrance to Raider Hall. Learn about
