The founder is Yoshitaka Inagawa,[3] who is publicly referred to as "sentō-sha" (戦闘者, eng. battler or combatant), and "master instructor" (マスターインストラクター masutāinsutorakutā)[3] to his martial arts peers. The name "sentō-sha" is different from "martial arts" and/or "fighter" in that it means a person who is particular about military "battle", referring closer to something akin to "military artsman" (兵法者, Heihōsha).

History

ZRC gained prominence in Japan when it was used in High&Low The Red Rain and Re:Born.[4]

Curriculum

While ZRC trains anyone learning the martial art via bare hands, knives, swords, batons, flashlights and handguns, the use of rifles is also included in its curriculum.[5][6]

Techniques

ZRC was inspired by Inagawa learning Muay Thai Boran, Sambo, Systema and Eskrima.[7]

Use

Inagawa has provided self-defence guidance to the members of the JGSDF Central Readiness Regiment.[7]
