Tactical Kenpo Karate originates from Ben Acosta's upbringing through the AKKA karate USA system. It follows the traditional basics, self-defense techniques and Katas/Forms of the old system. It also integrates new upgrades from the current evolution of martial arts as a whole to make you a more well rounded martial artists and/or fighter. This includes takedown defense, Boxing fundamentals, muay thai and Kickboxing fundamentals, offensive grappling takedowns, Judo throws, and jiu-jitsu submissions. This is a No-gi program, but it most definitely has a ranking system.
