Weeellll, I wouldn't quite call 10 or so years a [i]lifetime[/i] of melee training, (Or at least 10 or so years of [i]formal[/i] training) but I suppose getting into bumfights and bar brawls once in a while, then spending a decade or so as the mall cop apprentice to an eccentric, paranoid Ex-Sentinel would have the same effect.
