Jack of all trades master of none myself, but from what I do know and what I've been able to find the MGS CQC is just as they say in the game "a form of hand to hand combat developed by Boss and Naked Snake..." actually it was Motosada Mori but I digress. The Throws used ingame in the MGS3 and 4 were very much Greco-roman Style Wrestling or Pankration, as well as Judo and Eskrima as can be seen in the Naked Snake VS Gru cut scene (and other CQC cut scenes). But in MGS5 the throws are mostly Judo there is one throw that is still very much Greco-roman... while the strikes are a very mixed style of Maui Thai with the high, mid-level and low in one combo, Karate with the open palm strikes and the throat chop in the ingame combo and a dash of boxing for Venom Snakes mean hand checked Corkscrew Right Cross that finishes his CQC knockout. In the CQC cut scenes (Thank goodness there's a lot in this game!) you can clearly see elements of Krav Maga, Eskrima, Jiu-Jitsu, Wing-chun and of course Judo... but as anyone who practices numerous forms of martial arts can tell you a lot of these "different" martial arts are almost identicle to each other with respects of course. Example, Wing Chun's Chi Sao is very similar to Eskrima's empty hand drills which are also similair to Karate's Kakie drills so on and so forth, the point is when you understand the fundementals of human body mechanics you can start to mix and match "styles" like Big Boss does, so what you see in the game, even if it is a little flashy, is very plausable.
