Master Chittim always believed that the core of our art was the ability to apply our skills in defense, and therefore he stressed strong, aggressive, and effective fighting skills:

Our system stresses fighting ability and has produced many extremely successful competition fighters. World, National, and State champions in all of the Black Belt Kumite divisions.

"Let me stress to the membership that they keep an open mind and choose from the various styles of karate the things that work for them. Fight rough and tough so as to show the matchless American fighting ability. The daydreamers and romantics are those who feel they must copy some other country's fighting spirit."
