System Overview

Those beginning the American Brokil system begin at the base of the diagram shown. All of the underlying and unifying basics are included in the first step: The FOUNDATIONAL COMBAT CERTIFICATION (FCC).

The FOUNDATIONAL COMBAT CERTIFICATION (FCC) includes:

  • The System's Core Principles
  • Empty-Hand Striking
  • Grappling Fundamentals
  • Basic Weapon Techniques
  • Unifying Combative Drills

*Note: Training and Testing for the FOUNDATIONAL COMBAT CERTIFICATION (FCC) can be done online or in person with a qualified instructor.

The Five Subsystems:

Once the student has passed the FCC Exam, he/she can then move onto The 5 Subsystems:

  • TYCONY BOXING
  • An empty-hand striking subsystem focusing on counteroffensive measure to end the fight as quickly as possible.
  • FRACTAL ESCRIMA
  • A hybrid stick-based approach, designed to be deceptive across various ranges of combative engagement.
  • THE VEIL PROTOCOL
  • A knife-based combative approach which focuses on weapon retention and guarding the use of the blade during engagement.
  • CROSS-HATCH GRAPPLING
  • An integrative grappling method prioritizing real-world self-defense instead of sport grappling techniques.
  • FORGED-HANDS
  • This subsystem focuses on the use of time-honored traditional techniques, but with adaptation for the modern world.
