Pugil Sticks
Pugil sticks are a part of bayonet training. The sticks are marked to tell the difference between where the bayonet of the rifle would be, which is the red end. The butt of the rifle is the black end. The pugil sticks are padded on both ends, and have hockey gloves attached to the stick to protect the recruits’ hands.
Recruits participate in pugil sticks three times while in boot camp. It helps build confidence in close quarters combat and lets them experience the adrenaline of it.
Pugil sticks training is conducted in 3 phases. Each phase teaches recruits new techniques and skills that are increasingly complex and effective. The first time recruits conduct pugil stick training is an introduction to striking and getting struck. The second time recruits pair up and fight two opponents at once. This teaches team work and fighting with the someone next to them on their same team.
The third phase of pugil stick training is all out combat where recruits combine all the skills and techniques they've learned during the first two phases and apply them in a combat-like environment.
