About the American Arjukenka Street Combat Association (AASCA)
Because the AASCA is a scientific blend of Tactical Street Combat technique combined with multiple highly revered martial art styles, principles and systems, we would ultimately describe our training as a mixed martial arts based foundation. We teach the basic Gold Belt root which we add to in each individual rank classification criteria because we know that though must be simple in order to work under real life situations that most importantly of all, the methods taught are proven successfully effective and that those around and depending on you are kept safe from harm and death as best as is possible, and that that's the motivation which likely brought you here... you want to live enough to be willing to learn how to personally protect and preserve yourself as well as those you care about and love.
