International Combative Arts & Technology Defensive Concepts is a mixture of training methodologies from around the world. Sifu Vic Lashley blends the attributes of the kicking arts; French Savate, Muay Thai, Go Ju Ryu Karate, Korean Simdo Moo Duk Kwan and the close range striking arts of Western Boxing, Kali, Wing Chun Do and Silat.

While training in the ICAT Defensive Concepts program all students start off as white belts, regardless of past experience. Every martial art style has something unique to offer. Because every style is different and unique each should have their own respective ranking system. At I.C.A.T we always remember to keep a beginners mind set. When we are empty, this allows you to start fresh as if you have no knowledge of the art and enables you to have room for new ideas or concepts. The beginners mind set is always hungering for more and more knowledge and always willing to learn something new. In addition to the beginners mind set, we are a "No Ego" training center. So please leave all egos at the door.
