NDD, I can't agree more about mindset. While it sucked at the time, the mandatory boxing classes I received in college certainly helped overcome the normal uneasiness one feels when toe-to-toe with someone intent on hitting you. 'Course, so did the years of football I played as a kid. Anyone know if they still do the 'bear pit' boxing in Ranger School?
I don't have any experience in Gracie jiu-jitsu, I have heard some people question the aims of submission vs. death or grave injury as a system taught to soldiers. Given limited training time, does the current operational environment (peace-making) call for more LE-type submission training than lethal technique?
