SUMMARY:Survive Knives: Awareness & Action – Brisbane
DESCRIPTION:FACT: Most people need very little training to dramatically increase their chances of surviving an encounter with a knife-wielding attacker. \nSo\, there’s no need to give up your life — just give us two hours of it! \nIn return\, former Commando Sergeant and creator of the Australian Army Combatives Program\, Paul Cale\, will arm you with information and instruction that could save your life\, or that of a loved one. It’s the stuff everyone wishes they knew when one of those ‘it won’t happen to me’ situations actually happens. And on this course you’ll learn it quickly\, in a way that enhances recall. \nPaul knows his stuff. He’s been a bouncer\, social worker and Special Forces soldier\, who’s been shot at\, bombed\, bloodied and assaulted with blades. He was a team leader for Australia’s top counter-terrorism unit\, TAG–East\, and has taught special operations teams around Australia. For more than a decade\, he’s also been the Army’s top Subject Matter Expert on hand-to-hand combatives. \nPaul now teaches the public because he knows this is information that society needs\, right now. And\, because he can — he’s been there\, and survived. He’s trained for the worst\, been through it\, and trained thousands of others for it\, too. \nNow it’s your turn: for a limited time\, you have the rare opportunity to train with the guy the government goes to for close-combat solutions! \nOver two info-packed hours\, you will discover professionally proven survival principles and 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 Cale’s 25+ years of career military experience & 45 years in martial arts and self-protection\nused and supported by people from all walks of life and a broad range of industries (find out what others think of Paul’s courses\, HERE).\n\nThe topics covered include: \n\nThreat awareness and weapon detection\nEmergency action principles\nEdged-weapon characteristics and vulnerabilities to exploit\nManaging distancing to protect against weapons\nWeapon suppression and control methods\nTools for self-protection.\n\nPrerequisites: None — beginners welcome \n\n\n\n\nBOOK NOW!

SUMMARY:Self-Protection Essentials – Brisbane
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\, KEF–IC Senior Instructor Piero Borgna will teach 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 Piero’s own extensive experience and qualifications.\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\nBOOK NOW – Save $30 and get a free KEF–IC cap!*\n  \n\n* Use the code ‘save30’ to book before 11:59pm on 11 August. Bring a friend for further discounts. \n** Book both Alpha and Bravo modules for further discounts. (If you have previously completed the course and would like to do a refresher\, contact us  for special pricing.) \n\n

This centuries-old warfighting method includes the use of weapons such as swords and sticks\, along with a wide range of techniques\, from strikes to throws and joint locks. \nBeyond the training regimen\, the camp itinerary allows plenty of time for participants to relax\, see the sights and sample the local restaurants and night-life. \nCAMP TICKET INCLUDES:\n\nReturn International flights to Thailand\nDomestic flights & transfers within Thailand\n6 nights’ hotel accommodation\nDaily breakfasts\nDaily lunch (traditional local food)\nTwo daily training sessions in Army Combatives (Kinetic Fighting–Integrated Combat method)\, Muay Thai & Muay Boran\nA KEF training knife & Thailand Combatives Camp T-shirt\nCertificates of completion (or qualification\, if eligible).\n\n  \nBOOK NOW!\n  \nFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:\nQ: How long and how frequent are the training sessions? \nA: Each morning there will be a Muay Thai/Muay Boran morning session of 2.5 hours’ duration.
