Also, how has CMA "stayed true", where all other arts have failed? What criteria are you using?

You know many military people who have taken martial arts except CMA..?What do you consider many?Is that enough?Is it enough to make a statistical measure.We have millions of US soldiers serving...MILLIONS!Some prefer to study Korean arts,others may prefer French,Japanese,American,FMA,etc.I'm pretty darn sure some of our soldiers prefer CMA.In the past US soldiers studied CMA (for personal use,at war in camps,etc.).It's not hard to fathom that CMA is taught to some of our military people in these present times...
