It hasn't made it to Mississippi yet, but definitely looks interesting.

If it was invented by Israelis, it probably works quite well.
Looks neat: <object width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aOj5C_oLPMc&feature=related"></param> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aOj5C_oLPMc&feature=related" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"> </embed></object>
Why the regular army component insists on useless Gracie style martial arts (seriously, it is a friggin pain to do with any gear on), I have no idea. I assume the Special Operations guys get more relevant training and certainly the Marines do. Score another fail for Big Army.
I'd much rather have been trained in such a style as Krav Maga or Haganah as it has much better real world application IMHO. If integrated with other systems I would like it. Rolling around on the ground grasping at uniforms like they're a kimono/gi is about as useful as shooting for groups on a static KD range when your real world AO is neither static nor KD.

Re: Haganah practitioners?
Krav Maga is definately coming of age these days. (Full disclosure, I'm biased...lol).
Texas is loaded with great KM schools, and Haganah and KM are very similar and compatible. You could train in Haganah, and walk into a KM school and not feel "left behind".
Haganah is definately good stuff...
