The Scientific Fighting Congress now has three divisions and three specialty courses, but I started about three years ago with only the Congress of American Knife Fighters. From there I stepped back to create a bigger, broader concept I called the Scientific Fighting Congress. So, the initial 10-level Knife Congress course became just one of three major divisions. Combat Congress and the Filipino Combat Arnis Congress.
People pick what they want.
All are currently on SWAT teams. I think it is a big mistake when you try to lump all this material together and offer one and only system, so I made the separate distinctions. The separation of subjects and courses also allows for intense, focused study in any one topic. In the end, if a person has rank in all three divisions, then there is an actual overall 10 level S.F. Congress rank, something I call the Warrior Elite Group. It is very diverse and difficult, and there are only about 30 people out of the 1500 members that hold these W.E.G. ranks.
