Self defence and protection seminar

LEARN THE CLOSE-COMBAT TACTICS USED BY AUSTRALIAN AND U.S. SPECIAL FORCES, TAILORED FOR EVERYDAY LIFE

A veteran of multiple combat tours, former Australian commando, Sergeant Paul Cale rewrote the book on Special Forces Close-Quarter Fighting (CQF), creating the foundation for the Australian Army Combatives Program (ACP). KEF–IC (Kinetic Fighting–Integrated Combat) encapsulates the methods underpinning Cale’s military programs. These methods are now being offered to non-military personnel. Whether you want to improve your existing martial arts skills, or build effective self-protection skills from the ground up, this course is for you. You may even want to take your first steps toward a KEF–IC black belt and becoming a Combatives Master Trainer. 

Hosted by Fechner Integrated Combatives and HMR Combatives, KEF–IC accredited instructor Chris Fechner and his associate Douglas Eacersall will teach Cale’s battle-proven principals and survival tactics.

Chris's martial arts journey spans nearly two decades as a student, instructor, submission grappling/MMA veteran and security professional. Chris holds instructor qualifications in KEF–IC, Krav Maga, Silat (Raw Combat International) and Close Quarters Combat (Scientific Fighting Congress of Australia). He holds black belts in Jissen Budo (4th Dan), Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Escrima and Freestyle Hapkido. He is also a Level 1 expert in Krav Maga (tested and certified in Israel). He also trains Aussie soldiers at Borneo Barracks as part of an ACP/KEF–IC skill-enhancement program. 

Douglas has been practising martial arts and combat sports for over 30 years. He is a long-term practitioner of Boxing, Japanese Swordsmanship, Historical European Martial Arts, La Canne Vigny and Western Combatives, and holds grades in Kinetic Fighting–Integrated Combat (KEF–IC), Aikido, Mau Rakau (Maori martial arts), Kendo and Krav Maga. He is also a Jissen Budo black belt as well as the founder and chief instructor of the Historical School of Defence and HMR Combatives in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia.

On successful completion of these courses, participants will receive KEF–IC certificates and level patches.
