ICAT is a reality-based self-defense program that breaks down real self defense into 6 basic areas: Kicking, Hand techniques, Close quarter (clinch) techniques, Grappling, weapons, and multiple opponents. We train techniques of various martial arts styles, each which have proven themselves to be the most effective in the area of fighting that it specializes in. For example, Jiu-Jitsu is the best in grappling, but Boxing is better for striking, Kickboxing and Karate are better for kicking and Muay Thai is better for close quarter clinching, etc. So rather than just specialize in one area of self defense, we cover them all in I.C.A.T.
