Venezuelans aim to kick crime out
By Will Grant
BBC News, Caracas
Quote:
The students at Combat Karive, however, do not study the Eastern martial arts of karate, taekwondo or judo.

Instead, Mr Aroca teaches his students ancient techniques in indigenous self-defence.
Quote:
"If an Indian warrior is attacked unawares, he will make one quick move, to the throat or the achilles tendon, which incapacitates the attacker long enough to get away"
Enrique Aroca
Combat Karive


Enjoy!

From his website, it looks like the Karive is just one of several things that he teaches.

Thanks for sharing the article. I always like to learn about the styles of different cultures.
