"Having participated in martial arts since 1962 with a number of instructors, I was struck with the
professionalism and organisation of the ISR Matrix course conducted over three full, well-spent days.
The ISR Matrix course fills the gap that was needed in the area of self-defence and subject restraint. I was
particularly impressed with the training program that slowly, but inexorably, progressed from simple to
complex situations incorporating a variety of stimuli and distractions necessary to become proficient in
mastering the techniques. By the end of the second day, we were learning to fight in the dark and subdue any
opponent regardless of size by transitioning quickly to the stabilization and resolution phase. This intensive
three-day system of training resulted in an extremely effective and practical application of skills.
Thank you for providing an enormously valuable assortment and collection of skills". Jon Craig, IPSC National
Range Officer, retired school teacher, Wing Chun exponent and former student of Bruce Lee.

Welcome to ISR Matrix Australia's interim central portal. A new website is under
development and will be released later this year. ISR Matrix Internationals website
is it www.isrmatrix.org
The ISR matrix is a dynamic full spectrum integrated system of subject control,
defensive tactics, personal protection and preservation that thrives naturally
throughout use of force continuums and mission specific modes of operation
used by law enforcement officers, security personnel, armed forces and special
response teams worldwide.
Unique in its ability to effectively provide its operators with the ability and
response-ability to function under all levels of resistance and pressure, the ISR
Matrix allows for rapid escalation and de-escalation of force within every
response level. This adaptable and measurable versatility allows for clear lines of
tactics to meet with specific resistance and threat levels as they present
themselves and to equally take control and resolve them as deemed necessary.
From verbal on through deadly force, the ISR Matrix therefore provides training
protocols, operator guidelines, strategic perspectives and the most functional
tactics available to intercede, stabilize and resolve situations as they transpire,
evolve and change moment by moment.
Designed, forged, and tempered through years of hands on experience, its
unified and open structure permits it to flow readily with existing systems and
approaches and provides peace officers, security personnel, special operation
teams, hospital orderlies, and civilians alike with the strategic perspective and
tactical means to engage, control, transport, escape or neutralize threats as
necessary and to escalate and/or de-escalate pressure as warranted. ISR matrix
is a dynamic full spectrum integrated system of subject control and personal
protection that thrives naturally throughout use of force continuum's and mission
specific modes of operation used by both sworn and non-sworn professionals
worldwide.
From verbal on through deadly force, the ISR Matrix therefore provides training
protocols, operator guidelines, strategic perspectives and the most functional
tactics available to intercede, stabilize and resolve situations as they transpire.

ISR Matrix in Australia:
ISR Matrix has spread like wildfire in recent years across the USA and Canada. The system
until recently had not been advertised anywhere, least of all Australia, and relied exclusively
on word of mouth advertising. It is considered by many to be the most FUNCTIONAL tactically,
morally and legally sound violent subject control system available in the world. IT JUST
WORKS....
ISR Matrix Instructor Trainers, assisted by the ISR Matrix Australian Representative and Field
Instructor, conducted a number of courses across Perth, Sydney and Brisbane in 2008.
Through 2008 to 2010, around 20 courses have been conducted across Australia. In 2010, ISR
Matrix provided subject control and law enforcement defensive tactics training for Tactical
Week Australia in Brisbane.
These courses have set a new benchmark in defensive tactics within Australia, just as they
have done in the USA. ISR Matrix is the only known Defensive Tactics system that deals with
highly aggressive subjects in a manner that is safe and has low injury potential for both the
subject and officer. Skills are introduced, practised in isolation and then drilled safely in a
series of evolutions against an increasingly resisting opponent. Students acquire very
practical and functional skills in a short time frame. Please refer to testimonials or contact us
for further information.

"Brilliant ..... used it to take down
and control POI's a number of
times.... ISR is easy to learn,
easy to teach and their stuff
easy to teach and their stuff
integrates seemlessy with other
skill sets.... Highly, highly
recommend it to operational
officers!" - Chris, Police Trainer
"I would strongly recommend
this course to anyone within the
security and law enforcement
community, as well as anyone
who wants to learn a simple
and effective means of
defending themselves. I will
definitely be attending any future
seminars" Steven, Security
Trainer, former Police Officer
"We have been using and
training the ISR package in the
crew a fair bit now, and the
response from the guys is
phenomenal. We are routinely
using the helmet and
underhook and pike in unarmed
subject control now - to great
effect. The wrist weave has
become another favourite". – K,
Specialist Policing Officer.
"I learnt more on 1 day about
handling the bad guy's than I
ever have from my employer"
Bill, Police Officer
"Vastly superior to any
contemporary Police DT / OST
package in use in Australia
today...... Australian Police
organisations are performing a
disservice to their staff, and the
community they are expected to
serve, by not implementing ISR"
