At the Core of it All

At the core of everything we do at MaxDefense is our base, American Combat System (A.C.S.). A.C.S. was created in 1993 by Stephen Spivey. The system is a blend of Stephen’s influences and experiences. This style combines the most effective self defense techniques with utilizing knees and elbows, gun and knife defenses, along with combat groundwork. Our ground work is based on street scenarios and military combatives.

A.C.S. was created to be a “street fighting effective” reality based system. We do not create street fighters but you will have a street fighting mentality! This starts with relevant training principles, practical application, scenario training, and intestinal fortitude.

There are many misconceptions in reality based training; some being that the student has to be proficient in “sport ground jiu jitsu” for ground attack, trapping movements for most strikes, great boxing skills, or joint locks for every situation. The truth is that most of what you hear is false.

Basic Principles

American Combat System is not a sport. It is a system designed to give everyone from the common everyday civilian to the trained soldier the techniques and mindset to disrupt any attacker in any situation; whether that is to subdue or to incapacitate the attacker. Unlike traditional martial arts the system does not have belt ranking but rather levels that you progress through. A.C.S. assumes that even the simplest aggressor can severely harm or even take your life. With that being understood all techniques and steps are designed to get maximum results in debilitating your aggressor with maximum efficiency.

A.C.S. founder, Stephen Spivey, created the A.D.D. formula for easy processing of external situations in our environment. It is as follows: (A) Avoid all potential compromising situations. Be aware of your surroundings. (D) Dissuade any potential aggressor with proper life skills using such techniques as verbal commands and body language. (D) Decimate your aggressor with devastating strikes. Students are taught that when your aggressor is determined you use an “offensive” defense to control the attacker. Each student is taught that a violent attack must be met with a violent response greater than what was delivered by your attacker. Taking the posture that there is no cheating when it comes to life or death, A.C.S. teaches to manipulate the bodies’ vulnerable areas such as, the eyes, ears, throat, neck, groin, etc…

It does not matter what your self defense background is - it could be karate, martial arts, jeet kune do, kung fu, tae kwon do, or MMA. You could have multiple black belts and have all the powers summoned from Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee. But if you do not understand the very important A.C.S. proximity principles you are fighting an uphill battle in your self defense training.

Core Principles in American Combat System:

• Avoid injury
• Do not place yourself in compromising situations
• Determine your aggressor by biological giveaways
• Once aggressor is determined use offensive defense principle
• Use natural movements of body and A.C.S. numbered concept
• Use the most devastating techniques to the vulnerable areas of your attacker
• Be the VICTOR not the victim by any means necessary

This is real! This is American Combat System !
