Our Story
At Zaram Karabah Combat Systems, Rash Tuhon 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.
The Patakbasapakan Method was established upon the principles of dedication, discipline, personal development, and the responsible transmission of martial knowledge. As such, the integrity of the system shall never be compromised for convenience, profit, or rapid advancement.
We do not offer "fast-track" instructor certification programs, accelerated Black Belt programs, or guaranteed rank advancement based solely upon attendance at seminars, workshops, private lessons, or group study sessions. Likewise, the Patakbasapakan Method is not taught through correspondence courses, video-only instruction, online rank examinations, or remote grading systems. While educational materials may serve as references, they are not substitutes for direct instruction, practical application, corrective coaching, and hands-on training.
We do not issue instructor certifications or rank credentials based upon memorization of techniques, attendance records, or financial contribution. Rank, responsibility, and instructional authority must be earned through demonstrated proficiency, character, leadership, and long-term commitment to the arts.
The Patakbasapakan Method recognizes that authentic martial skill cannot be developed through shortcuts. A student may memorize hundreds of techniques and movements, yet true understanding is demonstrated only when the principles become natural, functional, and embodied through consistent training.
Our objective is not to produce large numbers of instructors. Our objective is to cultivate capable practitioners who possess a complete understanding of the system and who can preserve and transmit its principles with integrity. As with any respected institution of learning, martial education is acquired through study, practice, mentorship, and experience. It cannot be purchased. Knowledge may be shared, but wisdom and skill must be earned.
The Patakbasapakan Method does not seek worldwide representation for the sake of expansion. Growth occurs naturally through dedicated practitioners whose passion, conduct, and commitment reflect the values of the system. Those who carry the Patakbasapakan Method forward are expected to embody its principles both within and beyond the training environment. We make no claim of being the greatest martial system. However, we remain committed to giving our very best in preserving, developing, and teaching the arts according to the standards established by the Founder and the Zaram Karabah Combat Systems.

TESTED. TRIED. PROVEN.
TRAIN SLEEP REPEAT
LET'S GO!
ZKCS provides two powerful training pathways—our structured online curriculum and our in-person programs—each designed to build skill, confidence, and real-world readiness. Students may choose either path independently or combine them for a more comprehensive experience.
Our self-paced online curriculum delivers a clear, progressive learning structure through pre-recorded training videos that guide students step-by-step through systematic training. Each phase develops endurance, flexibility, balance, coordination, and both physical and visual reflexes—strengthening reaction time, awareness, and natural self-defense ability.
This self-paced program is ideal for students who prefer flexibility or remote learning. Weekly online check-ins are available, along with monthly in-person check-ins, depending on the student’s location and other variables, for feedback and coaching.
In addition to the self-paced curriculum, ZKCS offers live weekly online training sessions that allow students to train in real time. These interactive classes offer an additional opportunity to train with structure, accountability, and guidance while practicing the system.
Students can follow along and strengthen their skills through consistent
weekly training—no matter where they are located! To register for weekly online live classes, email us at info@zkcombatsystems.com.
Foundational & Beyond Training
ZKCS offers in-person training programs from the Fundamentals level through Advanced instruction. Black Belt and higher-level training is available through an application and approval process. Completion of prerequisite training levels is required for eligibility.
Students may enroll in the in-person training program as a standalone option or use it to support their progress in the online curriculum. For enrollment information, click here or contact us at info@zkcombatsystems.com.
Black Belt Development Program
The Black Belt Development Program provides focused group sessions and private instruction designed to elevate technical skill through direct coaching, real-time correction, and hands-on application. Approval is required for acceptance into the program. Completion of prerequisite training levels is required but does not guarantee acceptance.
Unified Curriculum Structure
Both the online and in-person programs follow the same ZKCS curriculum, which is divided into different levels. This ensures consistent progression across all training formats while allowing students to choose the learning path that best fits their needs.
TRAIN ANYTIME. LEARN ANYWHERE. MASTER YOURSELF.

LIFE-CHANGING TESTIMONIALS
Sedric, TX
ZKCS has changed my life in more ways than one. I was overweight, out of shape, had no energy, and was in pain daily from atrophy due to sitting 8 hours a day in a dead-end job for 13 years, to the point my muscles forgot how to RUN. This is from a guy who played basketball nearly 8 hours a day in my early years. All of that has changed, thanks to ZKCS! I am more agile, my energy levels have risen dramatically, and my physicality and endurance have grown exponentially. Rash Tuhon McJimson and ZKCS has LITERALLY brought me back from the brink, and I'm only getting stronger! This FAMILY has saved my life, and I could never thank them enough!
CJ, TX
Before I got into training, I thought I knew what it took to train. I was an athlete and prepared myself in the mental aspects of inner martial arts, as you’d say. But Rash Tuhon McJimson has a way of pushing you to a point where the battle is nowhere else but inside of you. This is why I started, and how I started, that feeling of internal challenge; I was afraid of it, and I knew I had to overcome it. So I chase it every day; for me, it’s not just about learning how to fight physically; it’s teaching me practically how to develop into who I’m meant to be. To accept the challenges and trials I will inevitably face and use them to propel me forwards. I’m glad the Most High blessed me with people who are willing vessels to do his work. Rash Tuhon McJimson is one of those people. If you can stick with it and truly embody the principles, it will bring a change to your life.
Crystal, TX
I realized quickly that ZKCS isn’t just a martial arts school—it’s a place of real transformation. Rash Tuhon McJimson has a rare and powerful gift: he meets you exactly where you are, no matter your background or skill level, and guides you with wisdom, patience, and precision toward where you need to go! It’s not just about learning techniques; it’s about growing into the best version of yourself! That’s exactly what ZKCS offers—more than developing physical skills; the training has pushed me to become physically healthier, build stronger discipline, sharpen my focus, and strengthen my mindset. The environment is both challenging and supportive, and every class encourages growth. You learn to face challenges head-on and use them as fuel to keep moving forward. You don’t just train here—you become part of a family. I am grateful to the Most High for Rash Tuhon McJimson and the ZKCS family!

G.M., TX
Training under Rash Tuhon McJimson at ZKCS has helped me become more confident and focused, not just in martial arts but in school and life, too! Rash Tuhon McJimson is encouraging — he makes it fun, but also pushes you to be better every time you show up. I’ve learned discipline, awareness, control, and how to set goals and not give up.
I feel stronger every week and am excited to
keep moving up!
Darrell, TX
Rash Tuhon McJimson has shown me what discipline exemplifies in everyday life and being aware of your surroundings. He always encourages us as students to keep pushing through no matter how hard it gets. This school has taught me more about patience, endurance, and adversity, whether in our everyday lives or just the battle within ourselves. Rash Tuhon also teaches us everything is about control and consistency. I recommend this school to everyone who is looking to become the best version of themselves.
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 McJimson
