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 to teach combat techniques but offer individual and instructor certification. Individuals, Police, Security and Military Personnel
who wish to train and become certified in ICA Combat tactics, may enroll in these programs.
The style of fighting taught in the ICA is "chon-tu mu do™ " (combat martial arts). Grand Master Benko created this style 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. Chon-Tu Mu Do™ addresses the needs of individuals, military and security personel.
There are several types of CQC (Close Quarters Combat) Training Programs offered by the ICA: the ICA Knife Defenses Program, the ICA Knifefighting Program, and the ICA Gun Disarms Program. Certification is available for each of these programs. Visit the ICA website for more detailed information and online enrollment applications.

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. Combining over 60 years of martial arts experience with his military training, he has developed this unique and practical fighting system for combat situations.
Be prepared, be confident, and be hardcore if you want to win in a real-life combat situation. Other programs offered include:
