The Kwoon Combat Room is a specialized arena in the Shatterdome where future Rangers are taught to fight in the Jaeger Academy in order to amplify their proficiency in combat situations.[1]
Background[]
Individuals taught in self-defense, such as MMA Coaches, Navy personnel, and neural physiologists are brought in to ensure that the recruits are pushed to their physical and mental limits. Training sessions in the Kwoon are usually very intensive and can last up to fourteen hours a day.[1]
Training combat consists of a mixed blend of martial arts, including Greco-Roman/Sumo wrestling, Muay Thai, Krav Maga, and traditional boxing. Weapons training consists of ranged weapons and fencing. This combat training allows the recruits to utilize their skills when they become Rangers and get the chance to fight against a Kaiju while piloting a Jaeger through the Drift.[1]
The physiological aspects of battle are emphasized heavily during their training. The goal within the Kwoon is to forge an ideal partnership between the recruits instead of a superior being in order for both to successfully pilot a Jaeger.[1]
