Which is a goal of combatives training?

• A. Not Sure
• B. Master Musical Instruments
• C. Build Confidence
• D. Increase Time Management

Answer: (C)

Combatives training focuses on giving you practical, repeatable skills for close-quarters defense and on staying calm and decisive under pressure. The best answer is that its goal is to build confidence because successfully applying grips, escapes, and control techniques under drill conditions shows you can protect yourself and others when danger arises. That confidence translates into quicker, clearer decisions, less hesitation, and safer outcomes in stressful encounters. The other options don’t fit: mastering musical instruments has no relation to self-defense, increasing time management isn’t the aim of physical combatives, and “Not sure” isn’t a meaningful goal. In Basic Military Training, the aim is to improve readiness through reliable techniques and the confidence to use them when it counts.
