ISR Matrix - The Professional Program for the Professional
ISR Matrix Australia is able to offer various workshops for
professionals whose occupational requirements include subject
control and self defence

ISR Matrix Australia has conducted seminars for Government and private
agencies within Australia and the USA. We have been formally engaged to
provide seminars for instructors from numerous Police, Corrections and  Military
agencies along with Health Services and Security Companies. We are regularly
approached to train domestic and international Police and Military units and
have delivered a diverse range of training sessions.

In addition to our formal training contracts for Government agencies and private
companies we also offer public courses where we have trained individuals from
those agencies listed above and many other agencies including Customs,
Immigration, US Federal Air Marshalls and more.

Scheduled courses can be found on our
schedule page. Courses are also
notified via our
newsletter and Facebook page. If you are interested in hosting a

also commonly used to instruct S.W.A.T/Police Tactical Groups. AF builds upon the ISR

"……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" - Ron








"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"
Editor, Response Australia










"The fundamental principles are
drilled to the point where you no
longer have to think, your body
just does what it needs to do.
The core principles of ISR are
so interchangeable, the system
allows you to move from one
position to the next without
pause, feeling what your
opponent is doing rather than
having to watch for it. We were
able to work through
complicated role related
problems, such as removal of
persons from vehicles, without
having to do anything other then
go back to core principles and
think it through" L, Police Officer
