What is the history of DART Karate?

​

DART is a modern system developed from applying research in Sports Science, Psychology, Criminology and UK Law to Karate tactics. Our physical training comprises both grappling and striking and is similar to MMA apart from being self defence focused. Originally working under the banner of 'Practical Karate', the name DART – defence, attack & resolution tactics – was adopted in 2006 to sum up our approach.
