[edit] Overview
ACCS is a modernized form of Close quarter battle method of the British UAC – CQB system prevalent in the Allies after the second world war. In India, a doctor couple who specialized in CQB & Military Martial Arts made significant contributions to CQB combat arts. In 1994 they started by training various units of the Indian Army in the capacity of guest trainers & by 2006 they had trained almost every special unit of the Indian forces.
[edit] Founders
The Rao couple are the founder of ACCS. In 2001 the research & efforts of the Rao couple in modernization of CQB & combat training received official appreciation from the Indian Army Chief. In 2004 Dr. Rao’s art was officially named ACCS.
ACCS represents the first few of the newer generation Military Martial Arts and Combatives. The art is low profile, non commercial & dedicated to training the Indian forces.
[edit] Specifics and Applications of ACCS
Technically ACCS derives inspiration from Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, Sun Tzu's the Art of War and the soldier’s CQB tactics. The Jeet Kune Do concepts used in ACCS are open mindedness, absorbing what is useful, rejecting the limitations and discovering applications unique and specific to the situation. ACCS uses General Sun Tzu's strategy in designing CQB simulation exercises, where two small teams are pitched against each other in mock CQB exercises for special operations like raid, hostage rescue, ambush & counter sabotage. ACCS teaches the soldier and his team to fight with Close Quarter fighting weapons, his body, dagger, bayonet and rifle applied to CQB situations. ACCS specializes in teaching combat by reality simulation in specialized areas of confined space combat, hostage rescue, open territory raid, room intervention and other special operations.
