Armed Combat and Tactics is a full contact weapon fighting system. We are a school, dedicated to teaching the practical use of both bladed and impact weapons.

Our purpose is to produce fighters by practicing an effective system applicable to an extensive arsenal of weapons, while staying as close as possible to the realities of combat.

Weapons taught in the curriculum are - Spear, Katana, Knife, Machete (and Bolo its Philippino counterpart), European Longsword, Medium Staff (JO and its Portuguese version) and Folding Tactical Baton. Full contact sparring is an essential everyday part of our training program. Cross training with other practitioners from different schools is a very important part of our learning process.

Essentially ACT is bringing the concept of MMA to the world of practicing weapon based martial arts; it's about learning how to fight against any opponent from any school under full contact rules as realistically as possible
