armies usually drill stuff into you so hard you start doing them unconsciously
when I did CQC training we practiced disarming attackers with knives, we took turns charging each other with blunt knives and our instructors yelled at us to not hand over the knife to the other guy once we had disarmed them but to instead throw the knife at the ground behind us because apparently there has been instances of soldiers disarming attackers and then handing the knife back to them because that's what they had been doing a thousand times during drills and their brains just acted on auto-pilot in the heat of the moment, sounds ridiculous but if you're gigastressed you will do stupid stuff like that apparently
