A weapons training drill seems appropriate.
People involved: Someone simulating a zombie (for a challenge try multiple people) ; Person being trained ( i don't remember the lingo sorry) For the purpose of an example lets try a close range weapon, say a knife. The "zombie" will try to "bite" the trainee ( a simple touch of the head to any body part will suffice) While the trainee tries to stab the zombie(s) with a rubber knife. Another example would be multiple ZOPFORS and say a screwdriver vs 3 ZOPFORS, it would be good training; also trying not to be surrounded is useful.

ZERT. <----- Another silly acronym is born.
Speaking with Necro about the hospital scene in Diary of the Dead, it occurred to me that no matter how well a person shoots, and how much martial arts training they may have, realistic and structured training is important to a group's overall preparedness. Given my position as a Marine NCO, I am often tasked with training the troops under me on any manner of things. Using that training mentality, I have begun thinking of different applicable training scenarios in order to keep your mind sharp in the event of imminent danger. "Worst-Case-Scenario" training is not always realistic. If it were, it would mean there is no Best Case, and life would truly suck. But it is important to think of the worst, so that whatever happens - up to and including the worst - you are prepared for it. You may not win the scenario every time, but ***your mind will become conditioned to react and take action without hesitation,*** that is what is important, and that is what will save your life. My next few posts will include possible training scenarios, feel free to include your own.

In the 50's, England had National Service, where every male aged 18 had to do a stint in the armed forces. One drill they showed was bayonet drill, where they had to run an obstacle course, and were told to spear every sandbag with a white X on it.
One sandbag could not be seen until you had run past it. Every recruit (of an intake of 60) bar one missed the hidden bag, and were told at the end of the run that the missed enemy would have clsoed on them from behind and killed them. The exact same kind of drill should be considered for zombies. Not every one will be standing, some will have damaged limbs and be crawling. You will not see them until it is too late unless you are looking for them, and it will take a lot of training to break the "all zombies are upright" mentality. Going further along this line of thought, clearing a house would need to be the most thorough sweep ever conducted. Imagine a child has been bitten, but eascapes when a parent sacrifices themselves. You come in a week later. You see the original zombie, the zombified parent and clear the house. But the kid ran and hid in the kitchen cupboard under the sink, where he turned. And he bites you when you go to the sink to see if the water works. Again, ANY place that a zombie, man, woman or child could fit needs to be swept. Cupboards, wardrobes, toy chests, under the beds, sofas, everywhere.
