Basically they're 3 types of Martial Arts.

Traditional: A lot of Empty, but historically significant and beautiful Forms. Sometimes with unrealistic Self Defense in Today's World Techniques,but look deceivingly convincing in the dojo.

Sport: If you Big ,strong,confident and not facing a weapon or multiple opponents, maybe it will be o.k (Maybe)BUT, It's a SPORT !, NOT LIFE!", NO REFEREE !when someone pulls a knife, a gun, out numbered, injured !... NO tapping out in REAL LIFE!

Combative:Some are too aggressive for today's non-war-zone laws. But some are more suited and can be adaptable in reality based defenses.
Here at C.A.I. We strive to be smart and defensive, combative only if necessary. We are always seeking a reasonable peaceful solution first.However some people are not peaceful and reasonable and thats why we do what we do at C.A.I..
