Sammy Franco
Sammy Franco is perhaps best known as the founder and creator of Contemporary Fighting Arts, a state-of-the-art offensive-based combat system that is specifically designed for real-world self-defense. Contemporary Fighting Arts is a sophisticated and practical system of self-defense, designed specifically to provide efficient and effective methods to avoid, defuse, confront, and neutralize both armed and unarmed attackers. After studying various martial arts and related disciplines
and acquiring extensive firsthand experience from real “street” combat,
Mr. Franco developed his first system, known as "Analytical Street Fighting". This system, which was one of the first practical “street fighting” martial
arts, employed an unrestrained reality-based training methodology known as
Simulated Street Fighting. Analytical Street Fighting served as the foundation
for the fundamental principles of Contemporary Fighting Arts and Mr. Franco’s
teaching methodology. Media Appearances Magazine Publications Book Publications Early Video Production Current Video Production Pressure Points: The Science of Striking Vital Targets Audio Book Production Music & CD Production Carnage Certifications

Mr. Franco has instructed thousands of students in his career, including instruction on street fighting, grappling and ground fighting, close quarters combat, knife defense and knife fighting skills, multiple opponent survival skills, stick fighting skills and firearms training. Sammy Franco teaches combat proven techniques from the standpoint of having a firsthand understanding of the emotional, psychological and spiritual issues that arise from physical violence. His goal is not the glorification of violence, but rather to help people free themselves from its costly price.
