IMA Academy is a TriCom affiliated academy. Our lead instructor, Isaac Birch, is a certified TriCom Master Instructor under its founder, Jared Wihongi.
TRI-ANGLE Combatives (TRICOM) is a street-smart Self-Defense system perfect for civilians, with roots as a Close Quarters Combatives system (CQC) ideal for law enforcement and military. TRICOM is comprised of techniques and tactics from fighting systems specializing in 3 major areas, hence the TRI-ANGLE portion of the name.
These 3 areas are:
- Weapon and Counter Weapon Tactics from the Filipino Martial Arts, primarily Pekiti-Tirsia Kali.
- Striking from arts such as Muay Thai, Boxing and Kali.
- Grappling and Joint-Manipulations from arts such as BJJ, Wrestling and Kali.
Experience in these arts were put to the test on-the-job by TRICOM founder Jared Wihongi during his years as a Bouncer, and for decades working as a street Cop, SWAT Operator and Police Academy Trainer. During the Global War on Terrorism Jared was contracted as a US Army Special Forces Combatives Instructor which enhanced the evolution of TRICOM. Since the early days over two decades ago, TRICOM has been adopted by some of the most elite police, military and executive protection organizations around the world. The TRICOM program was eventually opened up to civilian self-defense enthusiasts, where much of the focus is now.
TRICOM is a modular program intentionally designed to be relevant to your 'mission' whatever that might be. Over the years we've helped thousands of people become successful at completing their mission whether protecting yourselves and your loved ones, arresting violent criminals or conducting direct action missions in combat environments. TRICOM has changed the face of Self Defense & Combatives training, and will continue to do so as our affiliate community grows.
If you want to acquire the skills already vetted, trusted and utilized by elite special forces around the world, without having to go through years of training in the process - the answer is TRICOM!
