Understanding The Art
Salih Avci’s unique approach to the combat art lies in the practical application of his techniques to disarm and arrest without the use of excessive force or weapons, even in life-threatening situations. Salih Avci does not focus solely on unarmed techniques. He has developed traditional short and long stick techniques to be used efficiently and practically without causing unnecessary harm to the person being arrested. A general-purpose tool for protection, disarming and arresting was the result of Salih Avci’s practical modification of the “tonfa”, which is used by the police. This has resulted in the reduction of the use of firearms during interference and arrest.
Apart from the realistic application and professional use of self defence and arresting techniques for civilians and officials, Salih Avci trains actors and fight choreographers for film and television.
