Zero Range Combat (Japanese: ゼロレンジコンバット,[1] Zerorenjikonbatto, also referred to as 零距離戦闘術,[2] Rei kyori sentō-jutsu, which translates to Zero Range Combat) is a Japanese martial art inspired by military combatives.
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).
