    thats not what i meant but i may have been jumping the gun anyways, i meant they seem to fight with a slightly more pro style rather than amateur. Just wonder how they are coached , taught and normally compete?

    they normally have inter service tournaments mate, quite a few of them will have boxed before joining the services.

    yeah mate, its normally a part of basic training.

    oh right :good i've always wondered why the military doesn't have more amateurs at the top level eg at the worlds

    yeh i would imagine they develop quite a different style too normaly amateurs being so insular and inter- division competition based

    intereting stuff. the last american and this one now seem to have a far more professional style to me

    Not really part of basic training, Im talking from experience. Theres milling in p company but thats about it! Its up to the individual soldier if he/she wants to box.
