Best games as practice for combat

What games are best to prepare men for war? The skills could be anything from conditioning, orienteering, toughness, teamwork or strategy.
Rugby is a good game that teaches teamwork while demanding incredible stamina and speed. It is excellent for adrenalin rushing exercise.
Some may argue that orienteering exercises in teams is an excellent 'game' to build on survival skills, woodsmanship, etc.
For commanders, some may choose something like Chess since it teaches strategy and teaches one to value the different powers and values of different pieces.
I myself would choose an Indian (or is it Sikh?) game whose name eludes me. I saw it played once and it looks like the most punishing, pulse pounding game i have ever seen. It looks a bit like Rugby, martial arts and Aussie Rules all rolled into one except that you have to hold your breath when you play (!). (I am counting on our Indian friends to enlighten me on this one)
Your views, as always, are much appreciated, Gentlemen.
