Okichitaw is an indigenous martial art that has its origin in Great Northern Plains(Central Canada). ※ Okichitaw's formation was before the birth of Canada in the 1800s.
Okichitaw employs a very direct and committed approach in the area of physical combat. Okichitaw’s battle concept is combined with speed, one's body weight, and aggressively applied mechanics to allow the practitioner to achieve effective results.
Okichitaw is based on movements derived from specific indigenous weaponry. The concept of reckless bravery is adopted into this combat system, meaning that a full commitment to any engagement will be applied. This philosophy of Okichitaw trains the practitioner to strike and take their opponent down to the ground and finish them out as quickly as possible.
