Altus Training Center practices Kissaki Kai. The Kissaki kai was founded by Vince Morris, and has taken karate back to its origins, - past the popularized era of points-scoring sports formats, and refocusing on combat effectiveness.
It represents a return to a reality-based system of self protection and personal development, which pre-dates the modern competitive styles of martial arts.
Kissaki Kai originates from highly effective fighting systems which were practiced at a time when the priority was the ability to defend your life if needed.
Kissaki teaches the fundamental five elements of a complete combat system:
Throwing techniques
Vital point striking
Groundwork and Grappling
Choking techniques
Joint locking and breaking techniques
All of these are combined in a devastating self-defense system which recognizes the vital importance of applying defined ‘Rules of Combat’ to defending any attack, and the analysis of techniques contained in the original karate ‘kata’ (forms).
