We don’t teach movements. We teach execution.
Our Story
At Zaram Karabah Combat Systems, Rash Tuhon (Chief Instructor) David McJimson teaches the timeless wisdom of traditional martial arts with the demands of modern-day self-defense. Our practitioners train in Visayas and Mindanao Combat Systems, Malaysian Martial Arts, Indonesian Martial Arts, and Japanese fighting systems to prepare them for the Patakbasapakan System—a versatile, practical approach to personal combat and defense.
The Patakbasapakan Method
Patakbasapakan is not a collection of martial arts.
It is a single combat engine expressed through multiple surfaces.
We do not train techniques.
We train recognition, timing, and structural response.
We do not switch systems when the weapon disappears.
We continue.
Angles are truth.
Range reveals intent.
Counter-offense ends conflict.
Stick, blade, fist, elbow, shoulder, head, body—
these are tools, not identities.
When distance collapses, we are already home.
When structure breaks, we adapt without pause.
When chaos appears, our responses simplify.
The Patakbasapakan system survives:
• Tool loss
• Space loss
• Role change
• Pressure escalation
Because the system never depended on conditions.
One Engine. One Doctrine. No Reset.
Developing the Next Generation of Practitioners
With expert instruction, innovative training methods, and a strong foundation in martial values, we develop adaptable, confident, and disciplined practitioners ready for the real world. Our vision is to build a connected global community of martial artists—united by tradition, driven by progress, and empowered to train anytime, anywhere.
For this reason, recognizing that self-protection takes many forms, ZKCS extends this same principle-driven training into in-person firearms education—developing the skills, judgment, and mindset required to operate confidently across both armed and unarmed environments.
TESTED. TRIED. PROVEN.
TRAIN SLEEP REPEAT
LET'S GO!
ZKCS provides two powerful training pathways—our structured online pre-recorded curriculum and our live online classes—each designed to confidence, and real-world readiness. Students may choose either path independently or combine them for a more comprehensive experience.
Our self‑paced online curriculum offers a clear, progressive structure through pre‑recorded training videos. Each phase builds endurance, flexibility, balance, coordination, and reflexes—enhancing reaction time, awareness, and self‑defense ability.
Ideal for flexible or remote learning, students can join weekly online check‑ins and monthly in‑person check‑ins, offered based on location and scheduling, for personalized feedback and coaching.
Beyond the self‑paced program, ZKCS provides live weekly online sessions for real‑time instruction, structure, and accountability.
Train consistently from anywhere—strengthen your skills and stay connected. To register for live classes, email info@zkcombatsystems.com.
TRAIN ANYTIME. LEARN ANYWHERE. MASTER YOURSELF.

LIFE-CHANGING TESTIMONIALS
A BLESSED JOURNEY
A reflection from Rash Tuhon McJimson
I want to take a moment to acknowledge and thank my students. I am a humble servant, deeply grateful to Ahayah (the Father), to Yashaya (Christ), and to the Rawach (Holy Spirit) for the honored position I’ve been given. It is truly a blessing to have students like you!
All praise, honor, and glory belong to Ahayah, to Yashaya, and to the Rawach—without whom we could do nothing.
I am thankful to walk this path with you, and I pray that together we continue to grow in discipline and spirit—always giving the glory back to the Most High!
— Rash Tuhon (Chief Instructor) McJimson
