    Three men are engaged in what appears to be a defensive tactics or self-defense training session in a gym or training facility. The central figure is examining or demonstrating a technique involving a blue training weapon (likely a rubber/foam training knife) held by the man on the right, while placing his hand on the shoulder of the man on the left. The setting includes cage-style fencing and storage racks typical of a martial arts or law enforcement training facility.
    A military combatives training session is taking place on a padded mat inside what appears to be a gymnasium or training facility. One service member in camouflage uniform is mounted on top of another who is on the ground, demonstrating a ground control technique with an arm raised. Several observers in military and civilian attire watch the demonstration from the perimeter.

Observers are standing and kneeling around the perimeter of the mat in a semicircle, some in military uniforms and others in civilian athletic wear. The setting appears to be a military training room or gymnasium with industrial features.
