Some traditional martial concepts have seen new use within modern military training. Perhaps the most recent example of this is [[point shooting]] which relies on [[muscle memory]] to more effectively use a [[firearm]] in a variety of awkward situations, much the way an [[iaido]]ka would master movements with their sword.

During the World War II era [[William E. Fairbairn]] and [[Eric A. Sykes]] were recruited by the [[Special Operations Executive]] (SOE) to teach their martial art of [[Defendu]] (itself drawing on Western boxing and Jujutsu) and pistol shooting to UK, US, and Canadian special forces. The book ''Kill or Get Killed'', written by Colonel [[Rex Applegate]], was based on the Defendu taught by Sykes and Fairbairn. Both Fairbairn's ''Get Tough'' and Appelgate's ''Kill or Get Killed'' became classic works on hand-to-hand combat.{{Citation needed|date=March 2021}}

Traditional hand-to-hand, knife, and spear techniques continue to see use in the composite systems developed for today's wars. Examples of this include European [[Unifight]], the [[US Army]]'s [[Combatives]] system developed by Matt Larsen, the [[Israeli army]]'s [[KAPAP]] and [[Krav Maga]], and the [[US Marine Corps]]'s ''[[Marine Corps Martial Arts Program]]'' (MCMAP). Unarmed dagger defenses identical to those found in the manual of [[Fiore dei Liberi]] and the [[Codex Wallerstein]] were integrated into the U.S. Army's [[training manual]]s in 1942<ref>{{cite book

The rifle-mounted [[bayonet]] which has its origin in the [[spear]], has seen use by the [[United States Army]], the [[United States Marine Corps]], and the [[British Army]] as recently as the [[Iraq War]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iraq/1464411/British-battalion-attacked-every-day-for-six-weeks.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220111/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iraq/1464411/British-battalion-attacked-every-day-for-six-weeks.html |archive-date=11 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |title= British battalion 'attacked every day for six weeks'|access-date= 11 December 2008 |author= Sean Rayment|date= 13 June 2004|work= [[The Daily Telegraph]]|location=London}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

Many martial arts are also seen and used in Law Enforcement hand-to-hand training. For example, the Tokyo Riot Police's use of [[aikido]].<ref name="Twigger1997">Twigger, R. (1997). ''Angry White Pyjamas''. London: Phoenix. {{ISBN|978-0753808580}} {{page needed|date=October 2020}}</ref>
