Kashmir Combatives – ‘The Art Of Warfare’ (KC), in North Kashmir’s Baramulla, is a unique blend of various modern day combative systems owing its training philosophy to Bruce Lee’s concept of combat.
“Absorb what is useful, discard what is useless and add what is specifically your own.”
KC is an advanced, evolved, eclectic & pragmatic combat and self defense system ever developed in Kashmir by ASHFAQ WANI, a 26 years old journalist.
A resident of Rangwar locality in Baramulla district of north Kashmir, Ashfaq was only six when he started to learn Martial arts. As a child he was keen learner of the art.
He holds a black belt degree in Kung Fu and Taekwondo and has won dozens of medals in the sports version of martial arts both at state and national level.
However this was not what he dreamed off, besides bringing in success in the art for himself he wanted to pass on the skill to others.
Ashfaq belives that, Life is a gift and It’s also unpredictable and feels Combative training helps to prepare you for unexpected situations and also helps develop increased mental and physical health. Living in a conflict zone makes it necessary.
He believes that KC is something that everyone should learn because one never known’s what is in his way. “Learning the basics of self-defense help you prepare yourself for dangerous and unforeseen circumstances”, he adds.
The theory behind starting it also rests somewhere in the concept that, “Self Defense is a state of mind, and it begins with the belief that you’re worth defending”, belives Ashfaq.
KASHMIR COMBATIVES is known for its “No – Nonsense” approach to martial arts & self defense training.
