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...
You have a good point.
Going though college and now working in Engineering, almost everyone I know is either ex-military, or currently enlisted in either the guard or the reserves. Over the years, that accounts for literally hundreds of people. Those of us that are not military seem to all have come from military families. I agree that some soldiers may prefer CMA; I just have never met one that was even offered such a chance while enlisted.

I was not aware that US soldiers were offered CMA in the past. Was this in a certain branch? I just have never met anyone from the military that took CMA's. Maybe its just coincidence. I'm not trying to say it doesnt happen, just that I've never heard or seen anyone that has taken CMA in the military.

Anyone on this board ever taken CMA in the military?
What branch, and when?
