- What is F.S.A? -

Let me start by explaining what F.S.A. stands for. F stands for full contact, S is for submission and A is for arts. Full contact refers to a style of Karate where you don't stop before you make contact with your opponent; it is also not about competing for points. It a style of karate that employs full contact strikes to the body. Submission is joint manipulation technique however in this case it actually refers to standing submission (joint manipulation). Finally arts is a reference to combative arts.
Up until now many styles have been seen that have mixed combative arts, Aikido and standing submission that are not full contact. Hapikido, which is a combination of TaeQwanDo and Aikido type techniques, is one example. However, there hasn't been a form of martial arts that has combined full-contact Karate with standing submission techniques anywhere in the world. F.S.A. Kenshinkan is the first form of martial arts to do this.
F.S.A is also a very useful form of martial arts as self-defense for ordinary people.
