KEF-IC
KINETIC FIGHTING-INTEGRATED COMBAT
Kinetic Fighting–Integrated Combat (KEF–IC) is a system of mental and physical training, designed to instil a survival mindset. It reflects the Australian Defence Force system to which it is aligned: the Army Combatives Program, or ACP.
Our instructors’ mission is to provide you with the framework and understanding needed to develop the skills taught, as well as your existing skill sets, for effective application in self-protection or on operational duty.
Kinetic Fighting was first developed to keep soldiers alive in war zones. So, even though the KEF–IC program is tailored for use in an everyday setting under common law, the goal of the training is the same: survive, no matter what.
Want to get started?
Our KEF-IC classes have a pre-requisite of either, participation in Self-Protection Essentials (Alpha Module) or completion of Australian Combatives Program Level 1.
If you are new to training, book a place in one of our upcoming Self-Protection Essentials (Alpha Module) events to get started. This will give you a strong foundation to begin your KEF-IC learning.
