4worldlovers: Imperial Combat Arts in Denver is the study of several complete combat martial arts from direct military lineage: these martial arts have not been altered for competitive sport. The Imperial Martial Arts are designed to fight multiple opponents with lethal intent. Therefore they contain the advanced systems of: hand toughening, ripping and gouging, nerve attacks, ground-fighting, military grappling, tactical training, survival training, as well as modern and traditional weapons.

These legendary military arts were trained by Officers and the Imperial Guard since 960 c.e., with over a millennium of war in their refinement. Wu Tang means essentially "Military Training" and is a mastery of all manner of weapons, as well as forming the body into a weapon itself. These Arts of War are based on fighting multiple opponents using weapons, and then when unarmed, apply these same techniques with highly toughened legs, arms, and hands. Enter Page> Wu Tang

Imperial Combat Arts has direct lineage to the ancient battlefields of China and teaches master levels of traditional and modern weapons. Melee weapons are used in almost every life and death fight short of firearms, from the knife & baton to any improvised objects. This part of training is often neglected from other martial arts and yet is perhaps the most important to study. Fully immersive weapon training is vastly different from basic Kung Fu.

This level of toughening is for true combat, far from wrapping the wrists and wearing gloves for competitive sport. These are real weapons forged for life-and-death battle. Our Masters, with several years of toughening, demonstrate the power of these arts by striking through wood and concrete with bare knuckles and fingertips, kicking through 2x4's with the shins, breaking staves with the forearms, as well as tearing the eyes and throats from pig cadavers.

Combat Chin Na is a non-sport, life & death study with intense focus on fighting multiple armed opponents in all areas of Joint Locks and Grappling, both standing and on the ground. This study includes striking and weapons, and uses gripping, gouging, and tearing techniques designed for battle. Chin means literally "to seize or trap" and Na means "to lock or break. Chinese Chin Na consists of many highly effective and long proven combat techniques. Enter Page> Chin Na

These highly lethal and legendary fighting styles are for a true elite class of martial artist, and require years of toughening and training to master. Each animal style is itself a complete martial art with its own history, weapons, strikes, chin na, and signature hand toughening, brought together into one combat system over 300 years ago. Imperial Combat Arts teaches the legendary arts of Tiger, Panther, Leopard, Boar, Eagle, Crane, Mantis, and Snake Kung Fu. Enter Page> Eight Animals

Firearm training at Imperial Combat Arts is derived from our long military history. Our Grandmasters served as Imperial Bodyguards, Veterans of the Second Sino-Japanese War (WWII), Vietnam era Special Forces (Green Beret Officer), as well as an instructor today with current U.S. military training. Evolving alongside our melee weapons and unarmed combat styles, modern gun-battle tactics are an important part of our teaching true Masters of all Weapons. Enter Page> Firearms

Imperial Combat Arts teaches traditional Manchurian archery which has long been a significant part of our military history. Chinese archery varies from western archery, the bow is drawn with the thumb and the arrow is placed on the opposite side. This style of archery allows for fast and dynamic shooting with rapid reloading. In addition, the school teaches other types of ranged weapons including sling and thrown weapons such as javelin, knife, axe, and spear. Enter Page> Traditional Archery

From ancient nomadic hunters, to our past Grandmaster who was a Vietnam era Special Forces Officer and instructor of evasion, survival, and combat, Imperial Combat Arts trains its students in both primitive and modern wilderness skills. These classes include Camouflage/Evasion, Tracking, Traps, Navigation, Hunting/Foraging, Rappelling, Knots, Fire Craft etc. This training is a traditional part of developing the confidence, capability, and grit of a warrior.
