The Royal Marines apparently hold unarmed combat displays to engage with the public on "Poppy Day," the British Commonwealth version of Memorial Day. And the display the Marines put on is pretty impressive.


This 2015 demonstration was held at the Waterloo station in London and featured four Marines fighting and a few announcing, answering crowd questions, and collecting funds for Remembrance Sunday.

The Marines showed how they could sneak up on armed guards and take them out:

They displayed a masterful and nuanced way to kick someone in the chest:

And, of course, they choked a dude out and then took a selfie with him:
