He holds black belts in 8 different fighting systems\, with a total of 14 dan (degree) grades. In addition to Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) and Kyokushin full-contact karate\, Paul has attained black-belt ranks in the two Olympic sports \nof judo and taekwondo; the competitive form of aikido\, Tomiki; the traditional aikido/aiki-budo methods of Yoshinkan and Gyokushin Ryu; and the multi-discipline Japanese combat sport of Kudo Daido Juku. \nA veteran of multiple combat deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq with the 2nd Commando Regiment\, Paul applied this extensive combat and martial arts experience to redevelop the Close-Quarter Fighting (CQF) program for Australia’s Special Operations Command from 2007. \nAfter his ADF service\, he founded Kinetic Fighting\, a company that provides tactical and skill-enhancement training to the ADF since 2013. During that time\, Paul developed the Australian Army Combatives Program (ACP)\, which is now the ADF’s official close-combat training system. Since 2022 he has also instructed members of Thailand’s military close-protection teams and police as head instructor for Trojan International Defense – Australia. \nPaul’s experience in combat sports is also broad: after many years of full-contact karate\, he became one of Australia’s earliest adopters of BJJ. then competed in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) competition in its pioneering days. \nPost-army service\, he co-founded the Australian Institute of Sports (AIS) Combat Centre in 2013 and was part of its leadership team for several years. There he worked with Australia’s elite combat sports athletes as well as cyclists\, basketballers and others\, introducing Special Forces selection and leadership principles to the AIS. He was later named Head Coach for the Australian Defence Force Martial Arts Association (ADFMAA). \n  \nMORE ABOUT YOUR MUAY THAI INSTRUCTOR: \n \nAjahn (Master) Burklerk Pinsinchai is a Muay Thai legend: a former Thailand/Lumpinee champion\, he won 162 of his 170 fights. An exceptional teacher and technician\, he has 50 years’ experience and now trains \n fighters from across the globe at his own gym in Lampang. \nBurklerk was born in 1966 in the Buriram Province\, where his father initiated him into Muay Thai at the age of nine. In 1977 Burklerk moved to Bangkok to join the Pinsinchai camp owned by Lieutenant Savek Pinsinchai. He was initially too small to compete in Bangkok and fought mostly in Rangsit\, Samrong and Chaophraya. \nBurklerk emerged as a top fighter in 1983 when he won his first Thailand title. By 1987 he was considered one of the country’s best fighters\, having won two Thailand titles and being the reigning Lumpinee Stadium 112 lb champion. He was thus named ‘Lumpinee Fighter of the Year’ and received the ‘Yod Muay Fighter of the Year’ award. \nAfter losing his Lumpinee Stadium 112 lb belt in 1987\, Burklerk took a break of over three years in order to heal a chronic stomach disease. He came back in 1991 and quickly regained his elite fighter status\, reaching the final of the annual Isuzu Cup where he lost to Lakhin Wassandasit. He fought more sporadically during this second career\, but always with a high level of success against top opposition. \nFollowing his retirement\, Burklerk became a trainer and in 2008 he opened his gym in Lampang. He gives seminars in various countries and was awarded ‘Muay Thai Ambassador of the Year’ in 2010. His most successful student is Thepsutin Pumpanmuang (Thailand and Channel 7 champion).

SUMMARY:Self-Protection Essentials & Survivability Blueprint - Brisbane
DESCRIPTION:Train in former Commando SGT Paul Cale’s world-leading close-combat program used by Australian Special Forces & Army\, tailored for everyday self-protection! \nPURCHASE TICKETS \nThe Personal Combatives courses in the KEF–IC syllabus use the same principles and core techniques as the Australian Army Combatives Program (ACP). The difference? You learn only what’s applicable to tackling violence as a civilian. Battlefield rules of engagement are replaced with the laws of self-defence\, and a soldier’s weapon systems are replaced with your body\, and whatever you can legally carry or find at hand. But the mindset remains the same.   \nA veteran of multiple combat tours with the 2nd Commando Regiment\, Paul Cale literally rewrote the book on Special Forces Close-Quarter Fighting (CQF). He then created Infantry Integrated Combat (ICC)\, which later became the foundation for ACP — now the official close-combat training system for Australia’s general Army. \nKinetic Fighting is the culmination of all Cale’s work in combatives\, and the name used to describe the method underpinning his military programs. Whether you want to learn mental strategies and tactical applications to make your existing martial arts skills more effective\, or you need to build effective self-protection skills from the ground up\, this course is for you. \nYou may even want to take your first steps toward a KEF–IC black belt. KEF–IC (Kinetic Fighting–Integrated Combat) is a new program within the Australian Army that combines tactical combative skills with free sparring/rolling and the competitive elements of the Integrated Combat Clubs\, which are located at Army barracks Australia-wide. As an extension of ACP\, KEF–IC provides the training principles and core syllabus required to give soldiers a survival skill set\, and mindset to match. Every element of KEF–IC is focused toward real combat and was taught to non-military personnel for the first time in 2019. \nIn these sessions\, Kinetic Fighting instructor Ben Kelleher will teach Paul Cale’s battle-proven principles and survival tactics that are: \n\nadaptable to any martial art or professional operational procedure\nsuitable for civilians & front-line operators\, from beginners to professionals\nbacked by Cale’s 25+ years of career military experience & 40+ years in martial arts\, as well as Ben’s own extensive qualifications\nused and supported by people from all walks of life and a broad range of industries (to find out what others think of Paul Cale’s courses\, visit the website).\n\nYou will also receive a comprehensive training booklet for each module\, along with a certificate and badge (which adheres to KEF–IC training gear) denoting your completion of these modules in the Kinetic Fighting system. \nCOURSE DETAILS: \nSession 1 – Self-Protection Essentials: \nIn this module (known as ‘Alpha’ in the KEF–IC syllabus)\, you will cover the key aspects of surviving a violent confrontation: mindset\, tactics\, legal and moral considerations\, and functional\, high-percentage techniques. You will also discover how KEF–IC’s battlefield origins inform everything that you learn\, and how to adapt its proven principles to your own abilities and existing skill-sets (if applicable). \nPrerequisites: None – complete beginners welcome* \nTime: 09:00 am – 1:00 pm \nSession 2 – Survivability Blueprint: \nBuild on the previous day’s training with four hours of skill integration and extension\, reflex training and drills to help you develop the fundamental skills into an effective tactical arsenal. \nIn this module (‘Bravo’ in the KEF–IC syllabus) you will be introduced to principles of adaptation and shown how free play and sparring/rolling can enhance tactical capability. Learn grappling skills applicable to the battlefield\, and competitive drills where the objectives support tactical aims and develop your combative skill sets. This session provides the framework for your ongoing refinement and development of all the self-protection skills and strategies learned. \nPrerequisites: Self-Protection Essentials (KEF–IC Alpha)* \nTime: 01:30 pm – 5:30 pm \nUse the code ‘EARLYBIRD’ before 26 April 2024 to get a $50 bonus: a free KEF–IC cap PLUS $20 off! \n  \nPURCHASE TICKETS \n  \n(Special discounts apply if you bring a training partner — select two or more tickets.) \n* If you have already completed the Alpha and/or Bravo modules (previously known as Level 1-Alpha and Level 1-Bravo) and would like to do a refresher\, contact info@kefgroup.com for special pricing.

SUMMARY:Adaptive Leadership & Mastering Change: Paul Cale
DESCRIPTION:Don’t have authority? You can still be a leader. Learn how\, with Kinetic CEO Paul Cale…\nReal leadership is a skill and art that you\, or anyone\, can practise — regardless of your position and how much\, or how little\, authority you hold. Your presenter\, Paul Cale\, has changed the culture of the most strictly regimented and hierarchical organisation in Australian society: the Army. And yet\, he did it from a position of low authority\, by leading ‘from the bottom up’. \nIn this seminar\, the former Commando Sergeant reveals not only how he instigated and influenced positive change on a broad scale\, but how you can do the same in your business or organisation.

He was responsible for the creation and implementation of the Army Combatives Program\, which is now taught to every soldier and officer that joins the Australian Army. As a result of this initiative\, which he began as a sergeant in the 2nd Commando Regiment\, Paul was also headhunted by the Australian Institute of Sport to lead its Combat Sports Centre team and establish a winning culture among athletes. The training he introduced was even sought out by Japan’s world-champion judo team (the only time they have travelled to Australia outside of an Olympic Games). \nSeeing a need for sports science to be used in support of elite specialist soldiers\, Paul then went about forging a link between the AIS and Army\, by working through the adaptive challenges that presented obstacles to success. Paul was then asked to work with other elite teams from cycling\, basketball and water polo\, before consulting for the CEOs of a major bank and IT company. \nPaul has since developed several successful private businesses serving the defence\, government and professional sectors\, with a focus on training and security. He recently attended Harvard University to continue his leadership training\, and hone his skills in developing leadership in others.
