I'm not sure they fought with quarterstaffs or rapiers in WW1. The boxing and jiu jitsu perhaps.

  Apparently swords were used in the war. http://www.militarian.com/threads/use-of-the-sword-in-ww1.7075/ http://www.militarian.com/threads/use-of-the-sword-in-ww1.70... Hitting each other with sticks seems like something people at war would do ;-)

  Ehh… a quarter staff is a good approximation for a lot of weapons of convenience. It also teaches gauging distance in a way that translate to boxing.

  Not exactly the same, but this guy made a longbow kill in WW2: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Churchill https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Churchill
