Contemporary Fighting Arts (CFA) is an innovative self defense system conceived by Sammy Franco. Contemporary Fighting Arts is both a sophisticated and pragmatic self-defense system designed to provide the most efficient and efficient methods possible to avoid, defuse, confront and neutralize both armed and unarmed criminal assailants and to accomplish these acts in the safest manner possible. Unlike other martial arts, Contemporary Fighting Arts dispenses with the extraneous and the impractical and focuses on pure combatives.

Contemporary Fighting Arts™ is the culmination of years of research, analysis, experimentation, methodical innovation and real life combat experience. Its physical foundation is predicated on stylistic integration. Stylistic integration is the scientific collection of specific elements from various disciplines, which are strategically integrated and dramatically altered to meet three essential criteria for "reality based" self-defense: efficiency, effectiveness, and safety. Efficiency means the techniques and tactics permit the self-defense practitioner to reach his objective quickly and economically. Effectiveness means that the elements of the system will produce a specific desired effect. Finally, safety means that the combative elements provide the least amount of danger and risk for the practitioner.

Contemporary Fighting Arts™ is not a combat sport! It is not about tournaments or competition. It does not practice forms (katas) or any other obsolete rituals. There are no fancy leaping kicks or hip punches. It does not adhere blindly to tradition for tradition's sake. Contemporary Fighting Arts™ permits no delusions about criminal violence. It is not romanticized or mystified. Unlike most martial art system and styles, Contemporary Fighting Arts singular focus is on providing a practical means to deal with real life street fighting. It is not a hobby or sport. It is about getting you home alive and in one piece!

Many innovative hand to hand combat techniques, tactics and principles are unique to the Contemporary Fighting Arts system. CFA draws upon the knowledge and wisdom of numerous other sciences and disciplines, including police and military science, criminal justice, criminology, sociology, human psychology, philosophy, histrionics, physics, kinesics, proxemics, kinesiology, emergency medicine, crisis management, and human anatomy. As a result, Contemporary Fighting Arts is a complete system of self defense that can adapt to anyone opponent under any circumstance.
