ISR Matrix in Australia
ISR Matrix has spread like wildfire in recent years across Australia, USA, Europe, Canada and Asia. 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 International Instructor Trainers, assisted by the ISR Matrix Australian Regional Director, conducted a number of courses across Perth, Sydney,
Brisbane and Adelaide in 2008. Through 2008 to 2019, dozens of open and restricted courses have been conducted across Australia and Asia. Many
government agencies and several security companies have either hosted an ISR course or sent instructors to a course. .
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 controls both defensive and highly aggressive subjects in a manner that is functional yet 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.
(Some individuals may claim to be ISR Matrix Instructors and may hold a "First Tier Instructor" certificate from 2008-2009. That certificate is no longer
issued due to the misuse of the certificate. That certificate was issued after only 3-5 days end-user training for the express purpose of the certificate holder
acting as a liaison within their workplace to introduce potential trainees to structured training under a certified ISR Matrix instructor. "First Tier Instructors"
are not trained or certified to conduct ISR Matrix courses or seminars or authorised to make representations on behalf of ISR Matrix).
The ISR Matrix Australia/Asia Pacific Regional Director serves on the ISR Matrix Boad of Directors and is the only Australian to
ever qualify as an instructor or be authorised to represent ISR Matrix International in Australia.
An ISR Matrix Instructor for over a decade, he has over 25 years related operational experience in overseas missions, training positions, force protection
roles, emergency services and management roles as outlined below:

| "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 since 1996. Our first Australian course was conducted in September 2008. Since then the following Australian agencies have formally attended or hosted ISR Matrix Australia Courses and Seminars: Australian Defence Force MP's WA Police NSW Police QLD Police NT Police Victoria Police Federal Police QLD Corrections WA Corrections QLD Health NT Corrections NT Public Housing NT Transit TAFE Security Trainers GEO Corrections Serco Corrections Serco Detention Sodexo Corrections Broadspectrum Corrections NT Youth Justice Individuals from the following agencies/ groups have also attended ISR Matrix Courses: Defence Force Federal Police Customs/Border Force Security Trainers Security Officers Crowd Controllers Health Workers QLD Corrections Serco Corrections NSW Corrections QLD Police WA Police Serco Detention Transit Officers Martial Artists that have attended ISR Matrix Courses: MMA and BJJ; Floro Fighting Systems Krav Maga, Karate; Wing Chun, Wushu and Freestyle MA We at ISR recognise that nobody knows your environment as well as you do. We will provide new tools and a way to organise those tools, but we will never dictate your tactics! "The most effective system for subject control I have experienced. I recommend any and all Law enforcement to get on one of these courses". Chris, Police Trainer "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. "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 |
| "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." |
"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-escalate your use of force at anytime" Tim, Police Officer |
The diverse operational and training experience of the Australian Director, coupled with that of the ISR Matrix International team, ensures that the ISR
Matrix team are flexible, understanding and well placed to consult and deliver on your training needs and within the scope of your operations and policy.
| "It was easily the best course of its type that I have attended and I look forward to attending future ISR courses. I highly recommend it for people of any background or experience. Brilliant effort" Ash, MMA Coach "I learnt more on 1 day about handling the bad guy's than I ever have from my employer" Bill, Police Officer |
