Master Zach Whitson and his martial art, the Counterpoint Tactical System, have revolutionized my personal martial arts skills and that of my students. In addition, the experience has enhanced all areas of my martial arts academy from our youth programs to adult fitness programs. I would highly recommend every martial artist on all levels, from a student to a school owner, to seek out Master Whitson and his Counterpoint Tactical System.
