About Us
Welcome to the Academy of Combative Warrior Arts
(A.C.W.A.), here you will find an eclectic mix of training and living
skills to further your mind, body and heart. We focus on
behaviorally realistic self protection concepts and the understanding of what happens
in the real world (and not just what works in the dojo). Students will explore
real life factors such as: fear reactivity, predator vs. prey mindset, situational awareness, improvised weapons,
flinch response and multiple attacker situations, etc. We use real resistant opponents
to validate our concepts and scenarios, "if it doesn't
work, we don't do it" Mr. Cole
We are not a conglomeration of arts or a collection of techniques, but
rather a unification of truths and
concepts. As you study various arts, you start to see the common
threads that connect seemingly disconnected
styles. Understanding of these core concepts allows one to throw off
the conventional limitations that can obstruct our understanding. If we
have tunnel vision and only work on classical techniques, we stop
looking forward, we stop evolving. Techniques are necessary, but are
only part of the process, they are only a starting point, not the
destination... ADAPT · EVOLVE · TRANSCEND ®

A No Nonsense Approach
Our goal is to equip our students with the tools necessary to
allow them to persevere under any circumstances. Under stress, we
tend to fall back on our basics, loosing fine motor skills to more
gross movements. We understand this and teach a natural way of
moving that does not concentrate on "attributes" (such as how high can
I kick), but more on the ability to utilize motion and energy in a way
that provides us with solutions to problems that would otherwise not be
available. The student will come to understand power doesn't come from
the technique, but from the principles and physics that the technique
manifests. The consistent creation and application of physics in your
movement is what must be learned. The core
concept here is the use of power by virtue of position, something
that's free for us all to use if we only understand the mechanics to do
so.

A
Wholesome
Environment
If
you're interested in furthering your living skills and want a great
workout in a friendly helpful environment, then our academy is the
place for you. One of the strengths of our style is it
adaptablity, our concepts are easily tailored to fit your personality
and physical condition. There is no room for the "bad ass"
student here, this is an example of EGO, something we strive to
eliminate in our personalities. Our students come to realize that
EGO closes the door on understanding and ultimately limits our
potential for growth. We strive to transcend personal limitations
and truely free ourselves from physical and mental burdens. With training, self-awareness and understanding we follow the way
of the warrior and seek to persevere in a world full of unknowns.
