I've been boxing for some time now so I don't think it will be too big of a problem, but I agree with you amateur boxing does 2 minute rounds and it does feel like a lot longer but I can handle it.

It was my favourite part of CQC week. I never could quite get the order of all the combos, so the pugil stick "ring" was great. You do what you have to and make up your own combinations along the way. Even with all the padding on the qtips, you can still get knocked pretty hard. More than a few people have been to the MIR with concussions and loss of consciousness.
More to add: The video is kind of similar to BIQ. We don't have all that padding on the pugil sticks. Personal protection is similar, but we use hockey helmets. Reading the comments on the video were disappointing. Finished after a kill move? We kept going for the full 2 minutes, and if the instructors didn't think you were doing a good enough job, time would stop or wouldn't start at all until they saw some proper technique and aggression.

I agree with soldier, i train mma and we go 5 minute rounds back to back to back hitting the thai pads doing combos over and over. Time does go slower but won't be much of a problem.
But also if your having fun, time will go faster then if you are dredding it!

Well this is a great dialogue, and it sounds like you guys can't wait to prove yourselves in the ring, and I'm excited for you, we still don't know if this is a skill they practice at BMQ or SQ, or is it a rite of passage only available to infantry trainees?

Just my opinion, but i would think it would be for all trades do to the fact that everyone should be trained in case a war breaks out. If they allow all trades to fire a weapon at BMQ i would think the pugilsticks would be included. I'm guessing it's a BMQ thing as firing a weapon and bayonet training are kind of hand in hand.
But again this is just my opinion, I have no idea.

Because the infantry role is to "close with and destroy the enemy," it's only mandatory within the infantry training syllabus.
Other arms may train with pugil sticks, at the discretion of the directing staff, or as part of unit PT, but it's not part of their official training.
(I believe non-infantry are limited to pillow fights > )

We did them on my field engineer QL3 so i doubt that the infantry has a monopoly on this type of training.
