DTS Classes (Student Training Program)
Course Introduction: Master real-world self-defense with Dacascos Tactical Systems (DTS), developed by Great Grandmaster Al Dacascos. This advanced program transforms traditional martial arts into highly adaptable, street-effective skills designed for high-stress, unpredictable situations. Whether you’re a seasoned martial artist, law enforcement professional, or civilian seeking reliable protection, DTS emphasizes “Advanced Aggression” — the mindset and tools to decisively neutralize threats while staying adaptable and creative.
Built on the foundation of Wun Hop Kuen Do and Kajukenbo, DTS bridges dojo training with real-life scenarios. Train in everyday clothing, practice improvised weapons, and develop the survival edge that has been proven effective by elite units including the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and more. Learn. Adapt. Survive.
Target Audience: Intermediate to advanced students, law enforcement, security personnel, and serious civilians. Format: Self-paced online modules + recommended live seminars/drills. Duration: Progressive (complete Volume 1 before advancing).
