ARCS Self Defense & Combatives

A.R.C.S. stands for Automatic Reflex Combat Systems.  A.R.C.S. is perfect for civilian self defense, law enforcement officer defensive tactics training, or military hand to hand close quarters combat.  The tactics and self defense techniques taught in the A.R.C.S. program are based on standard human reflexes.  Often times these automatic and involuntary reflex responses are referred to as the "startle response".  Because the "startle response" is involuntary and cannot be unlearned, we embrace it and use it to our advantage as a bridge into a series of extremely effective gross motor skill techniques that can be easily learned and replicated.
