Who we are
A system that keeps evolving
It all began in 2001 with the “Self-Defense and Martial Arts Institute” in Vienna. Over the years Peter Weckauf developed it into a series of Combat Systems of its own: from self-defense and weapons fighting to training for police and security forces.
All systems share one basic structure and the same methodology. The curricula are revised continuously and the instructors keep training. Training takes place at the center, at seminars and online.
