I remember there being a MACP building near the corner of Longstreet and Gruber - a white building.
I did Combatives Level 1 in a WWII building on the TSC side years ago. For training, I'd suggest Fredricks gym on Gruber and Smoke Bomb Hill.

If you are looking to do things with your own unit without the fight house there is an area upstairs at the gym on smoke bomb hill

Multiple gyms on post have "combatives" areas that you can visit or reserve for large groups. Most notably, Fredericks. There is also a combatives school on Bragg. If you are specifically looking for stuff to do in your off time, there are quite a few off post gyms that offer jiu jitsu classes if you are just looking to improve on your own. I have checked out Team ROC's gym before. The staff is pretty cool and they are more than willing to help you out in whichever area you need. I am sure the other fighting gyms in Fayetteville are equally as helpful, but I can not speak for them.

everywhere, everyday was a random combatives session when I was at Bragg. It's was fun and games until I dislocated one of my NCO's arms and he got a permanent profile. the sound of cartilage popping and cracking made everyone in the area stop. there were a few others that fell victim to injuries but CO didn't care because they were e-4 and below.
