SUMMARY:Self-Protection Essentials – Gold Coast
DESCRIPTION:Train in Paul Cale’s world-leading close-combat program used by Australian Special Forces & Army\, tailored for everyday self-protection.\n\n\n\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\, former Sergeant 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. \nOn this course\, you will learn Paul Cale’s battle-proven principles and survival tactics\, which are:\n\nAdaptable to any martial art or professional operational procedure\nSuitable for civilians & front-line operators\, from beginners to professionals\nBacked by Paul Cale’s 25+ years of career military experience & 40 years in martial arts\, as well as the instructor’s own extensive qualifications (see below).\n\n\nCOURSE DETAILS:\n\n\nIn this module (known as ‘Alpha’ in the KEF–IC syllabus)\, you will cover the key aspects of surviving — and preventing — 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* \n\n\n\n  \n\n\nThe Instructor: \nThis training in essential\, real-world self-protection skills will be delivered by KEF–IC Instructor John Trebilco\, long-time martial arts instructor and owner of Southern Cross Self-Defence\, Gold Coast. \n  \n\n\nBOOK NOW – Save 20% for a limited time! \nBRING A FRIEND & SAVE – Buy two or more tickets for a discount \n  \n\n* Do this module together with Bravo module for a discount.

SUMMARY:Annual KEF–IC Instructors' Course & Awards Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Complete your KEF–IC instructor training alongside instructors of the Australian Army Combatives Program (ACP)\, and network with the team at the KEF–IC Awards Dinner!\nThis Kinetic Fighting–Integrated Combat Instructors’ Course enables KEF–IC instructors-in-training to practise with ACP-qualified Australian soldiers and to teach others over two days. In addition to qualification training and up-skilling\, the weekend also includes the newest KEF–IC course\, Home Defence & Intruder Response (‘Hotel’ module). This is included with any fully paid course ticket or can be done on its own (book via Moshtix). \nEvery course booking also includes a seat at the KEF Awards Dinner on the Saturday night\, with fine food\, drinks and entertainment (priced at $200 per head for those without a fully paid course ticket\, and for partners). \nBasic\, Army-style accommodation at KEF HQ is also included for the Friday and Saturday nights\, but is not compulsory. \nCourse Details:\nAt the High Fidelity Training Centre\, Brisbane (the new home of Kinetic Fighting\, inside Screen Queensland Studios)\, you will take a deep dive into the application of KEF concepts. You’ll refine your skills and learn to teach the material hands-on\, while being mentored by KEF’s highly experienced Combatives Master Trainers (CMTs) and Army Combatives Program (ACP) instructors. As part of the learning and qualification process\, your lesson delivery will be evaluated by both the CMTs and fellow trainees\, including currently licensed KEF–IC Instructors. \nAlready qualified instructors who attend will be tested (and upgraded upon passing) to teach the next module in the syllabus above their current teaching qualification. \nHeading up the coaching will be Paul Cale — KEF–IC/ACP creator\, Australian Defence Force Martial Arts Association (ADFMAA) Head Coach and former Commando Sergeant. He will be joined by ADFMAA Vice President and current Sergeant Major of the Combatives Centre\, WO2 Aaron Johnston\, and KEF–IC/ACP Combatives Master Trainers. \n+ Awards Dinner\nYour course booking includes a seat at the KEF–IC/ACP Awards Dinner on the Saturday night\, with three-course meal\, drinks and entertainment. (If you’d like to bring a partner or friends\, extra dinner tickets can be purchased via the course booking website.) \n+ Instructor’s Starter Pack\nThe cost of the course also covers a 12-month teaching license and\, for first-time instructors\,  two KEF–IC Instructor T-shirts and 10 free course books for your future students.* \nEligibility & Preparation\nIf you have prior teaching experience and have completed the KEF–IC Tan Level modules Alpha and Bravo\, you may be ready to complete certification on the course for ‘Interim Instructor’ status. (Contact us to discuss your eligibility.) This will enable you to teach ‘Self-Protection Essentials – Alpha’.* \nIf you hold a KEF–IC Grey Belt (or a higher rank) by 4 February\, you will be eligible to complete the instructor modules for both Alpha and Bravo. However\, if you have already completed all five Tan Level modules required to test for Grey Level (Alpha\, Bravo\, Charlie\, Delta and Echo) but haven’t yet been graded\, you can undertake your Grey Belt qualification test on Sunday 28 November 2021 at HFT to confirm your eligibility to complete the Alpha/Bravo instructor modules on the Instructors’ Course. \nThose who qualify as KEF–IC Instructors will then have an opportunity to be tested and qualified to teach further modules on the next instructors’ course in mid-2022. \nFor those wanting an opportunity to complete and/or revise the Tan Level material before the course\, there is an Echo module course currently scheduled at HFT for November 27 . There are no Alpha\, Bravo Charlie or Delta courses scheduled at HFT before February 2022; however\, requirements for this training may be met by some of our Licensed KEF–IC Instructors. Contact them directly to enquire. \nThis rare opportunity for critical skill-enhancement and coaching development at ACP/KEF–IC headquarters also offers an opportunity to network with fellow instructors\, and to partake in unique aspects of Australian military culture. But it is limited to 20 people\, so don’t miss out! Secure your place now by contacting KEF to establish your eligibility; if able to meet the requirements\, you can book with a 50% deposit and pay the balance by 4 February.   \n* Note: Instructor certification will not be offered to those who do not meet the required standard of KEF–IC skill and knowledge at the completion of the course. Certified instructors can only begin teaching after submission of a completed KEF–IC instructor license agreement (provided by KEF post-course) and supply of a current public-liability insurance certificate.

SUMMARY:Self-Protection Essentials – Brisbane
DESCRIPTION:Train with former Commando SGT Paul Cale in his world-leading close-combat program used by Australian Special Forces & Army\, tailored for everyday self-protection.\n\n\n\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\, former Sergeant 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. \n\n\nOn this course\, Paul Cale will teach his battle-proven principles and survival tactics\, which are: \n\nAdaptable to any martial art or professional operational procedure\nSuitable for civilians & front-line operators\, from beginners to professionals\nBacked by Paul Cale’s 25+ years of career military experience & 40+ years in martial arts. \n\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:\n\n\nIn this module (known as Alpha module in the KEF–IC syllabus)\, you will cover the key aspects of surviving — and preventing — 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 * \n  \n\n\nBOOK NOW & SAVE – Receive a $50 bonus (a free KEF–IC cap and discounted ticket) with our early-bird special**  \nBRING A FRIEND & SAVE – Buy two or more tickets for even bigger savings \n  \n\n\n\nCOVID-19 policy: In addition to enhanced safety and hygiene protocols\, participants will be allowed to work with only one other person for the duration of the seminar if they choose. Special discounts also apply to encourage bringing your own training partner (see above).  \n* Do the Alpha and Bravo modules together for a discount. (If you have previously completed the course and would like to do a refresher\, contact info@kefgroup.com for special pricing.) \n** Use the code ‘earlybird’ when booking; special ends at 11:59pm on 22 August.

SUMMARY:Dynamic Threat Management on ZOOM
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to apply behavioural analysis and situational awareness to manage threats in dynamic environments. Take your violence-prevention skills to the next level with behavioural intelligence expert Mathew Wann\, author of Predicting Violence: How to Interpret Nonverbal Cues.\nThis live online session (the KEF–IC ‘Golf’ module) builds upon the lessons of Foxtrot\, teaching you how to use nonverbal analysis while operating in a threat environment. You will increase your knowledge of key nonverbal indicators of violence/aggression\, and learn to contextualise those behaviours to shared environments such as cafés\, bars\, train stations and carparks. The module also teaches the fundamentals of ‘baselining’ threats (vital for effective threat analysis) and introduces rapid profiling in dynamic environments. This includes analysing examples in a classroom environment\, then applying these skills in practical\, scenario-based drills. The lessons culminate in a high-fidelity simulation exercise\, enabling you to put your training into action. \nThrough the Golf module\, you will develop: \n\nconfidence in avoiding violent attack by ‘base-lining’ and profiling potential threats\ntechniques that reduce the likelihood of becoming a victim\nversatile conflict-management skills\nthe ability to operate in environments where multiple threats exist\na stronger ‘combat mindset’ and ability to reduce stress reactions \nconfidence in using nonverbal analysis in high-stress environments.\n\nYour instructor will also field questions and troubleshoot\, helping you to work through any issues you’re having in understanding and applying the principles and tactics. You will also receive a FREE copy of his e-book\, Predicting Violence: How to Interpret Nonverbal Cues. \nPrerequisite: KEF–IC Foxtrot* \n  \nBOOK NOW & SAVE – Use the code STUDENT and save $70!** \n  \nTHE INSTRUCTOR:\nThis training in essential\, real-world self-protection skills will be delivered by KEF Mission Specialist Instructor (MSI) Mathew Wann.

SUMMARY:Violence Prevention Essentials on ZOOM
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to prevent violence before it happens\, using proven behavioural analysis and threat-detection methods. Behavioural intelligence expert Mathew Wann — author of Predicting Violence: How to Interpret Nonverbal Cues — will teach you how to become a ‘hard target’ in any environment. \nWith over 15 years of experience in nonverbal communication and behavioural analytics for Defence\, Mathew Wann is a specialist in his field. As an instructor of front-line professionals\, he gives first-responders and career combatants the tools to understand social and physical precursors to violence\, as well as the dynamics of this ‘most primal human disorder’. As a coach and mentor\, Mathew has also helped athletes and coaches to gain a competitive advantage in their sport by interpreting unspoken signals. \nThese ‘soft skills’ are the most important in any self-defence repertoire\, regardless of the environment — after all\, you can’t lose a battle you don’t have! Unfortunately\, they are also the most neglected and rarely taught skills in the self-defence and security fields. So\, Kinetic Fighting has now developed this expanded and publicly accessible version of its ‘Red Flags to Violence’ training module delivered to military and police. \nIn this online session and its follow-up module\, Dynamic Threat Management\, KEF Mission Specialist Instructor Mathew Wann will teach you essential principles and tactics that are:\n\nSuitable for civilians but proven by front-line operators\nAdaptable to any social or professional environment\nBacked by Mathew’s many years of career military experience and professional application.\n\nYou will also receive a FREE copy of the e-book Predicting Violence: How to Interpret Nonverbal Cues.** \n  \nIn this module (‘Foxtrot’ in the KEF–IC syllabus)\, you will be taught the levels of situation awareness and how to apply them in everyday life. This includes theoretical and practical applications of active observation and dynamic scanning of an environment. You’ll then discover the four main motives that drive violent attacks\, along with how these motives relate to violent attack (this information is vital in dynamic threat assessments\, as it provides an insight into the mind of a potential attacker). \nNext\, you’ll be introduced to the nonverbal behaviours that typically precede acts of interpersonal violence. This is followed by the basic principles of immediate threat assessment\, which complements and supports the applied combat-mindset principles taught in other KEF–IC modules such as Self-Protection Essentials (Alpha). \nThrough the Foxtrot module\, you will develop: \n\nsituational awareness skills\nconfidence in observing and monitoring threat environments\nan understanding of motivations for violence\nthe ability to rapidly detect potential threats\ntechniques to accurately analyse nonverbal behaviour.\n\nPrerequisites: None — beginners welcome \n  \nBOOK NOW – Use the code STUDENT and save $70!** \n  \n* Book offer applies to full-course tickets only; book the Foxtrot and Golf modules together\, and receive an additional discount.  \n** Note: this course is delivered live online\, using the ZOOM web platform.

SUMMARY:Dynamic Threat Management – Brisbane
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to apply behavioural analysis and situational awareness to manage threats in dynamic environments. Take your violence-prevention skills to the next level with behavioural intelligence expert Mathew Wann\, author of Predicting Violence: How to Interpret Nonverbal Cues.\nThis session (the KEF–IC ‘Golf’ module) builds upon the lessons of Foxtrot\, teaching you how to use nonverbal analysis while operating in a threat environment. You will increase your knowledge of key nonverbal indicators of violence/aggression\, and learn to contextualise those behaviours to shared environments such as cafés\, bars\, train stations and carparks. The module also teaches the fundamentals of ‘baselining’ threats (vital for effective threat analysis) and introduces rapid profiling in dynamic environments. This includes analysing examples in a classroom environment\, then applying these skills in practical\, scenario-based drills. The lessons culminate in a high-fidelity simulation exercise\, enabling you to put your training into action. \nThrough the Golf module\, you will develop: \n\nconfidence in avoiding violent attack by ‘base-lining’ and profiling potential threats\ntechniques that reduce the likelihood of becoming a victim\nversatile conflict-management skills\nthe ability to operate in environments where multiple threats exist\na stronger ‘combat mindset’ and ability to reduce stress reactions \nconfidence in using nonverbal analysis in high-stress environments.\n\nYour instructor will also field questions and troubleshoot\, helping you to work through any issues you’re having in understanding and applying the principles and tactics. You will also receive a FREE copy of his e-book\, Predicting Violence: How to Interpret Nonverbal Cues. \nPrerequisite: KEF–IC Foxtrot* \n  \nBOOK NOW & SAVE – Early-bird special includes a FREE KEF–IC cap worth $28!** \nBRING A FRIEND & SAVE – Buy two or more tickets  for further discounts \n  \nTHE INSTRUCTOR:\nThis training in essential\, real-world self-protection skills will be delivered by KEF Mission Specialist Instructor (MSI) Mathew Wann. As an instructor of front-line professionals\, Mathew gives first-responders and career combatants the tools to understand social and physical precursors to violence\, as well as the dynamics of this ‘most primal human disorder’. As a coach and mentor\, Mathew has also helped athletes and coaches to gain a competitive advantage in their sport by interpreting unspoken signals. \n  \nCOVID-19 policy: In addition to enhanced safety and hygiene protocols\, participants may choose to work with only their own partner for the majority of the seminar.
