The ICA Offers Combat Training Programs
The ICA (International Combat Association) offers combat training programs. Grand Master Benko, founder of the ICA,
developed these combat training programs in order to help prepare individuals and groups for combat. The programs were designed
not only teach combat techniques but offer individual and instructor certification. Individuals, Combat units, SEAL, Special Forces or Military
units who wish to train and become certified in ICA Combat tactics, may enroll in the programs.
The style of fighting taught in the ICA is "chon-tu mu do" (combat martial arts). Grand Master Benko created this form of combat fighting in
order to focus on what the individuals and military units may use in real combat situations. The nature of these type of techniques, in many cases, are not taught
in martial arts schools. Control is used in martial arts schools to help protect the practitioner from injury. Not so in real combat where quick and
deadly force must often be employed. Chom-tu Mu Do addresses the needs of individuals, military and security personel.
There are three areas of combat fighitng being offered: The first area of study is, Knife Training.
Level 101 features: Cutting Methods, 10 Cut Exercise, 8 Directions Exercise, Dos And Don'ts Against Knife, and Basic Hand-Knife Exercise.
Once the trainee has successfully completed these requirements he/she may begin training in the Level 102 portion of the program.
The second area of training Level 102 covers Taking The Knife Away From An Opponent, Throat And Stab Defenses,
Quick Disarms, Throat Hit Disarms, Push Blade Back Into The Opponent.
The third section in the area of Knife Training Level 103 features: The Elbow Twist Defense, The Reverse Elbow Twist,

As a former Green Beret who served 3 tours of combat duty in Viet Nam, Grand Master Benko developed these programs based on first-hand
combat and combat training experience. These are not the "I learned from a book or video", but actual on the ground, in the
thick of it combat techniques.
Be prepared, be confident, and be hardcore if you want to win in a real-life combat situation. Other programs offered include:
Knife Fighting: How to use a knife in combat situations, and Weapon Disarms, featuring disarms against an opponent who has a side-arm.
