The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) that guards the LAC with China is training its personnel in a new unarmed "offensive" combat technique to gain better skills in taking on the adversary in situations like the Galwan clash of 2020 where crude weapons were used to inflict fatal injuries on Indian troops by the Chinese PLA. The training module comprises 15-20 different fight manoeuvres taken from various martial arts techniques.
