I must perforce point out that if these teens are being prepared for working in missions in less than friendly nations, such training may be quite appropriate. Christian missionaries are in mortal danger if they dare to enter Muslim nations, and are in danger of serious mistreatment in divers other nations such as our largest trading partner, China. Confrontational class training teaches you not to do the most dangerous thing imaginable... physically fight back against overwhelming odds who are perfectly willing to kill you. I never had that sort of training, just a bit of role playing work in my student activist days.
However since the initial complaint story seems to have generated from a parent, the mission concept is quite probably a poor assumption.
