Private or Group Lessons
In order to study the A.C.T.S. system you do not have to participate in all of the 7 categories. Both Private and Group Lessons are available in each of the 7 categories. If you do not wish to obtain official martial arts rank, you can focus on proficiency through regular training in self-defense only or through the internal arts of meditation.
Krav Maga
Krav Maga is an Israeli self-defense system that specializes in reality-based self-defense scenarios. In particular, it is highly-specialized and proficient in firearm disarms of handguns and rifles. Further specialization of Krav Maga also includes unarmed self-defense against knives, sticks, clubs, and all-impact weapons. We only have to look at today's headlines to see the need for specialized reality training of unarmed individuals against guns and assault rifles. Within the A.C.T.S. system you can study this specialized area of self-defense only or include other combatives such as striking, grappling, and knife & stick fighting.
