What is the ISR Matrix?
The acronym I.S.R. represents a trained course of action that can manage conflict though a working matrix of three
interrelated principles; Intercept, Stabilize and Resolve. From this effective yet simple foundation, an adaptable
method of subject control and personal protection was forged through years of hands on experience. The guiding
philosophy in this method's design is to safely and efficiently intercede, control and effectively conclude any
scenario regardless of the level of resistance that the trained personnel encounters.
Benefits of the ISR Matrix
In their particular theatre of operation, professionals need to work within a use of force continuum that is usually
predicated on a legal framework. With these issues in mind, the ISR Matrix was crafted towards functional tactics
for peace officers, security personnel, special operation teams, hospital orderlies and civilians.
Through the ISR Matrix's complimentary network of training approaches, working concepts and highly effective
techniques, its unified and open structure permits it to flow readily with the existing systems and approaches
currently in place by agencies internationally. Due to this unique quality it effectively provides its operators a readily
accessible course of action with the ability and the response-ability to perform regardless the intensity of
opposition and the pressure encountered.
Once put into practice, the ISR Matrix will completely enable the professional, within set guidelines, the means to
handle any situation while using the minimum appropriate levels of force to overcome resistance as it transpires
and unfolds. Therefore, it is perfect for mission specific modes of operation used by law enforcement officers,
security people, armed forces and special response teams worldwide.
Results though ISR Matrix
As situations unfold moment to moment, the ISR Matrix readily permits rapid escalation and de-escalation of force
as it relates to the resistance encountered via the aggressor. This measurable versatility allows for clear lines of
tactics to meet specific threat levels as they present themselves.
The ISR Matrix is a proven strategic perspective and tactical process to engage, control, transport or neutralize
threats as required. It provides a dynamic full-spectrum integrated system from the verbal dialogue stage all the
way through to deadly force.
Being unlimited interwoven options of a small number of techniques the ISR Matrix successfully applies to a vast
diversity of situations and achieves the optimal result against threats at any level of severity.SR Matrix Australia
provides leading edge operational safety training for professionals tasked with physical management and subject
control.

"A very professionally delivered course, presented with a world class and effective coaching method. All drills and material were set at the perfect level so that all course participants developed confidence and efficiency in all techniques." |
"The instruction was second to none ………. by the end of the second day there were people less than half my size who were able to control and restrain me every time, and I wasn't pulling my punches……. This is the first such system I have seen where these levels of results had been achieved so quickly". Steven, Security Trainer, ex Police |
| "ISR Matrix allows you to keep complete control of the bad guy whilst always keeping in mind situational awareness, weapon retention and transition, team tactics and the ability to escalate or de-escalte your use of force at anytime" Tim, Police Officer |
| "The ISR program is particularly useful for Law Enforcement or security personnel, but can easily be utilised as a clinch/stand-up grappling program for Martial Artists training predominantly in striking arts or BJJ. It will work in with any other Martial Art system without having a negative impact on that system's current syllabus" Ash, MMA Instructor |
ISR Matrix International has provided training in North America for over 15 years. Our first Australian course was conducted in September 2008. Since then the following Australian agencies have formally attended or hosted ISR Matrix Courses and Seminars: WA Police NSW Police QLD Police NT Police Victoria Police Federal Police QLD Corrections WA Corrections QLD Health TAFE Trainers GEO Corrections Individuals from the following agencies/ groups have also attended ISR Matrix Courses: Defence Force Federal Police Customs Service Security Trainers Security Officers Crowd Controllers Health Workers QLD Corrections Serco Corrections NSW Corrections QLD Police WA Police Serco Corrections Serco Detentions Martial Artists that have attended ISR Matrix Courses: MMA and BJJ; Floro Fighting Systems Krav Maga, Karate; Wing Chun, Wushu and Freestyle MA 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. |
