    A military hand-to-hand combat training session is taking place on blue mats in what appears to be a shipboard or indoor training facility. One instructor in desert camouflage uniform is demonstrating a fighting stance to a group of uniformed personnel, while two observers in green multicam uniforms watch from the foreground. Large mirrors on the back wall reflect the group, making the formation appear larger.
