What type of school is ICS?? Is it Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Jiu jitsu, etc..??

ICS is a school that studies Combat Science. Combat Science concepts are derived from real world experiences, Kuntao, Kali, Escrima, Ninjutsu and other components. Our teaching methods allow the practitioner to take home effective concepts that can work that same day if the situation allows. We are not a school were you spend many years trying to learn to survive, you will survive from day one of training.

Why are you so inexpensive??

We have no overhead and no egos to feed. The founder of ICS, Henry Infante, has been down the road of paying hundreds every month for training. His vision is to have a school where people don’t have to mortgage their homes to train. Training is supposed to be fun and exciting, not financially stressful.

How are the classes conducted??

There is no bowing or titles used in class. The instructor is referred to by his first name. Since this is an adults only class, discipline is something you should already have. We are very non-traditional! Humor and laughter fills the air in class but so does hard core training. If you want to learn to survive you have to be willing to listen and train hard.

Concepts??

We do not believe in techniques! Techniques get you killed, concepts keep you alive. In a real world altercation you will not be able to perform a perfect throw or wrist lock (wrist locks are not as effective in a fight as they are in the dojo). We train to find the openings, discombobulate the opponent, control the situation and then apply a lock or break the limb. Remember, we are a school of Combat Science, our trophy is making it home at night.

What real world experience do you gather your concepts from??

ICS founder Henry Infante is no stranger to Close Quarters Combat. He has been involved in Executive and Dignitary protection since 1993. Aside from that, his experience in nightclub security (since 1992) has helped to understand confrontational scenarios with innocent bystanders involved. He has seen more stabbings, shootings and broken bones than most paramedics do in a career!

Henry is the Director of Operations for the World Institute for Security Enhancement (www.worldinstitute.org), the Institute has taken him to many cities and countries to teach Executive Protection, CQC and Counter Terrorism principles.

The classes are kept small to offer more attention to the individual. 

ICS students are exposed to several instructors, this helps them learn from many sources.

There are no contracts or phone calls chasing you to join. If you attend you learn, if you miss class then you fall behind, the choice is yours. Not all potential students are accepted.
