There are kids today that have never had a fist fight and aren't used to contact.

Soldiers can be taught in a very short time if the training is done correctly. You can use the same technique over and over because you won't face the same opponent again. If I was King, I would take Kill or Get Kilt or Get Tough! and use it as a POI. Teach chin jab and axe hand and move out.

I think these programs make for better warriors. It wouldn't surprise me at all if it helps their shooting as well.
Well said NDD. Good point about some kids never being in fist fights. The orientation to contact is good.
