What exactly is AIKICHUN and what makes it special?<\/strong><br>AIKICHUN is a complete tactical military-academic combat system (Tactical MMA Combat with a real-world focus), specifically designed for realistic street fights, operations, and real threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It stands out because it is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The fastest to learn and apply<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The easiest to understand and execute<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Achieves a solid self-defense level with just one continuous training day per week<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Very well-organized with calculated training hours (not random)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Includes weapon use\/defense + environmental exploitation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Built purely for real-world scenarios with no sport restrictions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Who is the founder of the system and what is his experience?<\/strong><br>The system is under the direct supervision of Captain <strong>Mohamed El-Fayez<\/strong><br>A tactical combat expert who has trained Chinese special forces and has extensive experience developing real-world combat curricula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. What is the difference between AIKICHUN and sport combat (sport MMA, kickboxing, competitive jiu-jitsu\u2026)?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sport combat<\/strong><br>\u2192 For the ring\/cage<br>\u2192 Strict rules<br>\u2192 Weapons prohibited<br>\u2192 Environmental exploitation prohibited<br>\u2192 Goal: points or safe submission<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AIKICHUN<\/strong><br>\u2192 For reality (street \u2013 operations)<br>\u2192 No rules\/restrictions<br>\u2192 Allows weapons and defense against them<br>\u2192 Uses the environment<br>\u2192 Goal: rapid control or survival with minimal damage<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. How do I join? What is the first step?<\/strong><br>There is no direct joining (except in very rare exceptions).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The mandatory first step is:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Booking the foundational lecture + practical training workshop (200 EGP)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sending your data + ID photo + payment proof<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After confirmation \u2192 you will be added to the batch group for scheduling<br>(online theory + in-person practice at the branch)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5.
