THE ORIGINS OF A.F.K.A.K. BEGAN WHEN TERENCE WATCHED DELTA FORCE 2 IN 1990. HERE'S WHERE CHUCK NORRIS DISPLAYED COMBAT TECHNIQUES IN THE MILITARY.

BUT EVERY TIME THE TWO STRIPE COPORAL WOULD SAY, THAT YOU’RE GOING TO AFKAK, HE HEARD THAT YOU’RE GOING TO BE TRAINING IN COMBAT. BUT, UNFORTUNATELY FOR TERENCE HE DIDN'T COME AND ONLY AFTER HE STARTED TEACHING HIMSELF THE AFRIKAANS LANGUAGE DID HE COME TO UNDERSTAND AND REALIZE THAT IT WASN'T WHAT HE HAD PERCEIVED ALL ALONG AND ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT SOUTH AFRICA DID NOT HAVE IT'S ONLY FORM OF COMBAT TRAINING FOR SOLDIERS BUT ISRAEL HAD AND IT WAS CALLED KRAV MAGA "CONTACT COMBAT" AND SO DID RUSSIA SAMBO" SELF-DEFENCE WITHOUT WEAPONS"SO TERENCE DECIDED TO START WORKING ON HIS OWN VERSION OF A MILITARY SELF-DEFENCE COMBAT, BUT HAD TO BE TRAINED, GRADED AND QUALIFIED TO BE ACCEPTED AS FOUNDER OF A.F.K.A.K.
