I.C.A.T. Academy was founded and established in 1989 by Sifu Victor Lashley. After years of training and teaching, Sifu Lashley decided to open a school in order to further his own development and create a teaching environment for his students. Inspired by his own teachers and trainers: Guru Dan Inosanto, Sifu Larry Hartsell, Guru Richard Bustillo, Sifu Tim Tackett and several others, Sifu Vic had a vision of a school that would best perpetuate the arts that influenced him the most and that were instrumental in saving his life on many occasions in his former law enforcement career as q NJ Corrections Officer.

I.C.A.T. Academy was one of the first total body competitive athletic training gym in our area before the U.F.C was launched. (needs to be finished)
