Yeah... I agree with Ryan. Special Forces only train in hand-to-hand combat as a last case resort... However, it's very unlikely that our troops engage in such scenarios. If you're separated from your weapon, you're in deep shiet.

The fact that our military hires martial artists to train them only shows that they like to keep updated and improve their physical conditioning. I mean, Jhoon Rhee was once a trainer for the Pentagon and we know the guy is a wimp. So in that regard, training for SF doesn't really make you a badass, but you sure will have credibility in marketing.
