Chapter 985 - 990: Challenge the Authority
Combat training is the most fundamental subject, and like shooting, it is a training content that everyone must undertake. Therefore, Yang Yi did not even need to look at the beginner classes.
In a training hall, more than a dozen people listened as an instructor told you how to respond in various situations, then had his assistant or randomly selected a trainee to perform various actions as instructed. The instructor would then tell the trainees how to respond accordingly. This kind of training was meaningless for Yang Yi.
However, the intermediate classes were different. Those in the intermediate class were the ones who truly needed combat training. For example, field operatives or special agents from the operations division inevitably had higher combat requirements.
But at the CIA, the intermediate classes were called advanced, and the advanced class was named the master class, purely for the sake of sounding impressive.
Yang Yi went directly to an intermediate class.
When Yang Yi arrived, the training had just begun.
Unlike methodical courses such as flight training, combat is a form of physical combat. Those who come already have a certain foundation, and many have even seen actual combat. Sometimes they need to improve their combat skills, so it is quite normal to join the training class midway.
The instructor was not particularly surprised by Yang Yi’s arrival.
"We are going to do weapon sparring. As everyone knows, in close combat, there is no weapon more rapid and deadly than a short knife. A silent and swift short knife is the most reliable weapon when executing secret missions, often more useful than a gun."
There were a total of four trainees, and with Yang Yi, there were five. The instructor, a middle-aged man in his forties, stood there, talking at length.
This type of combat training definitely requires a sparring partner. Practicing alone, no matter how much, is just empty form. Anyone who has learned combat knows this truth. Therefore, it is certain that the trainees will spar with each other. One could even say that being able to spar in a safe environment is the main reason these trainees come to train.
