American Combat Karate

[Disco]

Just read a three (3) page adverisement in Black Belt Magazine on a "New" system - American Combat Karate. It centers around a man named Dale Comstock. It lists many of his Spec Ops records, where he fought etc. Anybody have any info on either this style or the man?

Yes I have some info on the style.It isnt new its been around since 1978 The founder is Master Tommy .H.Ledbetter.I studied under him myself I have my third dan/Instructorship in A.C.K And am a member of The A.C.K assoc.Do you have any other info on this gentleman a web site or email?I would love to contact him.
Me and Master Tommy are still great friends and I would like to know where he got his cetification in that style.As I have not heard of him before.Not saying he isnt legit just curious is all.I see Tommy on a semi regular basis and he has never mentioned him to me...Which I find strange.If theres anyother questions you may have on the style let me know.I will do my best to answer them

Sorry, don't have anything else except the magazine article. They, the company that's selling the system is from Visalia, Cal.
They do have an info number for sales, they mite be able to give you some info. 1-800-899-8153-Dept AK-21. The guy hawking these tapes is Bob Pierce. I guess he's the sales guru that thought this pitch up. In the article, they show pictures of Mr Comstock.

Now just for my own information, what in your opinion is the major difference between ACK and other styles.

I think there is a thread on this in the Karate section if I'm not mistaken.

Went to the Karate Thread and checked on your suggestion. The subject was American Karate, not the combat version. Thanks anyway for the info.
