Anyways... the body mechanics, that is the trained body mechanics of boxing are such that I know of no one that can utilize the boxing fighting style with only 10 hours of training. It can take some people several months before they can even step in with a proper jab. And that's just a simple basic move. But people moving forward and backward with while throwing a jab, when they are just learning to do it, and while they are practicing it, look like they are half-way mentally challenged.
If you've got no skill or coordination in kicking, I would not suggest trying to use Thai kicks when you have only 10 hours of training either.
In fact I can't even believe someone would waist money (per time/payroll) studying this sh*t, the Army could have asked me (I have no authority whatsoever - just making a point) and I would have told them for free.

Isn't it comforting to see the thought process of the man responsible for using MMA to train soldiers though? When they already know what they want it's fun to watch people rationalize their way to the outcome they desire.
