Youtube clips
Below are a number of demonstration clips. Note that the gym footage is real students
on real courses in the early stages of training. No choreographed fight scenes by
martial arts masters that bear little resemblance to reality.  Simply students training
hard and utilising the skills taught on ISR courses against resisting partners.


"……full of practical real world
combative applications for those
who work in Law Enforcement
or security roles……some of the
most effective I have seen to
defend yourself and gain the
upper hand in a combative
situation without resorting to
potentially lethal striking ……
usable in a use of force
continuum and actually work
unlike many moves I have seen
people attempt to utilize. Rob,
Crowd Controller
"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
defending themselves. I will
definitely be attending any future
seminars"  Steven, Security
Trainer
"Having trained for 25 years
now, during which time I've
trained in a number of different
styles and systems, I have to
say this was the best course I've
seen of it's type. I haven't just
come away with new material to
play with, but it taught me a
great deal about effective
coaching and I believe as a
result my own coaching and
teaching has improved tenfold.

I highly recommend this course
to anybody (whether Martial
Artist or untrained) with an
interest in simple, functional self
defence." Ash, MMA Coach
" I attended the first ISR course
in Sydney in 2008 and recently
attended the ISR course in late
November in Canberra and I
found that even after around a
year, I was still able to execute
the training under pressure.
Thanks again to Dave and the
ISR team
