Kinetic Fighting – Integrated Combat (KEF–IC)

“Kinetic Fighting–Integrated Combat (KEF–IC) is a system of mental and physical training, designed to instil a survival mindset while developing the skill sets to support it. In this and many other ways, it reflects the Australian Defence Force system to which it is aligned: the Army Combatives Program, or ACP.

KEF–IC courses focus on principle-based learning to facilitate faster uptake and flexibility in application, so our trainees get the most value out of every lesson or short course. Our instructors’ mission is to provide you with the framework and understanding needed to develop the skills taught, as well as your existing skill sets, for effective application in self-protection or on operational duty.

Kinetic Fighting was first developed to keep soldiers alive in war zones. So, even though the KEF–IC program is tailored for use in an everyday setting under common law, the goal of the training is the same: survive, no matter what.

Who Can Train in KEF–IC?

It is designed for everybody, from professionals who deal with violence at work, to those who just want to feel safer on their daily commute. KEF–IC principles do not discriminate against the out-of-shape, physically challenged or inexperienced. They work because they are tactically and physiologically sound.

If this is your first foray into studying self-protection, KEF–IC courses will teach you the essential principles and key techniques needed to build your capability from foundation level. Through ongoing training and progression through the KEF–IC modules you will acquire a reliable arsenal of battle-proven combative skills and tactics that can be applied under extreme pressure.

Continuation training will further embed the mindset and skills needed to survive violent encounters.

For seasoned martial artists and front-line professionals, a KEF–IC course will not only expand your repertoire of self-defence strategies and techniques, but give you the means to train them. The drills and applications learned will enable you to develop and test useful supplementary skills, as well as enhance your current abilities.” *

** Due to the in-depth nature of the discussions surrounding the psychology of violence and the potential outcomes of some of the techniques taught, KEF–IC is not recommend for children under the age of 14, as they lack the mental and emotional maturity necessary for these topics. NB Teen Warriors (13-15 years of age) are delivered the full content in an age appropriate manner to build their mental and emotional resilience in a safe manner.
