A.C.W.A. Combatives is a non-sport, reality based,self defense system designed to answer the problems we face in today's world. Its purpose is not for fighting, but to provide intelligent solutions for dealing with and extricating from violent situations (in as an efficient manner as possible). Simple gross motor movements along with an understanding of human bio-mechanical motion make it practical for anyone to use its concepts anywhere at anytime, even in the dark.
The A.C.W.A.Combatives system studies the entire force continuum as we understand that the force we use, in any situation, must parallel threat we face. Awareness, psychology, verbal conflict de-escalation, counter grappling, hand-to-hand Combatives, improvised/practical weapons use and disarms are therefore all part of the program of study.
The ultimate goal of A.C.W.A. Combatives is to provide its practitioners with the skills and tools necessary to get them home safe!
