You get better and more in depth hand to hand combat training at the YMCA than you do in the military. They dont waste a bunch of time practicing for scenarios that will never happen. When you are in a gun battle, it NEVER endss in a fist fight. Dude, youve watched way too many movies and youve obviously never been in the military. Not even special forces personell get in depth hand to hand combat training. It would be a waste of money, and it would be a waste of time that could be spent training with actual weapons of war.
I question whether or not you have ever been in the military.
Army Shifts Focus of Basic Training - CBS News
Facing terrorist strikes and cyber warfare, the Army is shedding training that has little use on today's battlefields - such as using old-fashioned bayonets that don't fit modern automatic rifles - and going back to the basics, the three-star general in charge of the new program said Wednesday.
"A great many of our soldiers who come to basic training have never been in a fist fight - and we have to help them learn a spirit of aggression, something they can learn that will take them into combat," said Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, who is heading the program overhaul.
Hertling said the Army will use more types of hand-to-hand combat training, stress rifle marksmanship and move away from its current use of
emphasizing certain wrestling techniques. He predicted the revamped physical training and improved diet will help transform video couch potatoes into fighters who can adapt to today's complex urban and anti-terrorist warfare.
