Mumbai, India — The Combat Tactical Systems (CTS), developed and taught by self defence expert Arvind Khaire, continues to redefine practical safety training with a focus on real-world self defence over traditional martial arts routines. Originally featured in The World of Martial Arts magazine (March 2005 edition), CTS represents a dynamic, situation-based approach designed to help individuals stay safe, aware, and confident in unpredictable environments.

Practical Self Defence for the Real World

Unlike sports-based martial arts that emphasize competition and performance, CTS Self Defence is built around realistic survival skills. It’s about being alert, efficient, and prepared — not about winning trophies.
Arvind Khaire’s CTS System focuses on practical street-fighting principles, including elbow and knee strikes, ground escapes, and defence from any position — whether standing, seated, or caught off guard. Students also train to respond against multiple attackers and armed threats.

“CTS doesn’t follow rules — situations rule,” says Arvind Khaire, Founder of the CTS Self Defence System. “The goal is not victory in a ring, but safety and awareness in life.”

The CTS Training Philosophy

The CTS approach trains the mind as much as the body. Trainees develop mental toughness, emotional balance, and situational awareness, enabling them to respond quickly and decisively in high-stress environments.
Through repeated scenario drills, CTS teaches adaptability, not memorization — helping students react instinctively when faced with real danger.

“It’s not about fighting; it’s about surviving,” adds Arvind Khaire. “Every movement is designed to be fast, natural, and effective for anyone — regardless of age, gender, or experience.”

Testimonial: Francois Krafft on CTS Training

One of the early international practitioners of CTS, Francois Krafft, who had trained in multiple combat styles including Kempo Boxing, Full Contact, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai, shared his insights after discovering CTS:

“Being able to walk safely and confidently in empty streets or while travelling in public spaces after CTS training gives you unmatched confidence,” says Francois Krafft.
“I found CTS complete, practical, and far more adaptable to real-life situations compared to other systems. After training, I felt refreshed, energized, but also calm and ready — that’s the real power of CTS.”

Francois’ words mirror what thousands of CTS trainees across India and abroad experience — a renewed sense of readiness, confidence, and peace of mind.

Why CTS Works

The CTS Self Defence System stands apart from conventional martial arts by removing rigid rules and focusing purely on what works under pressure. The program is fast-learning, efficient, and emphasizes awareness-based protection, enabling individuals to recognize and neutralize threats before they escalate.

Participants report improved focus, confidence, and self-belief — making CTS not just a self-defence method but a mindset of empowerment.
