KMAA Self Defence Academy

KMAA Self Defence Academy KMAA | A Philosophy of Survival, Strength & Human Performance. Self defence is the vehicle. Transformation is the destination. Come see for yourself! TEAM KMAA

Reality is, & always will be, the final teacher. KMAA= ▪︎Knowledge ▪︎Mindset ▪︎Adaptability ▪Action
No Rules▪︎No Gimmicks▪︎No BS Realistic & practical self defence classes for the real world. No points, no trophies "KMAA KRAV MAGA" The ultimate no BS self defence system. KMAA has been teaching classes since 20016 and is a hybrid KM system developed by Troy Matthews ex IKMF expert level krav maga instructor who has been running KM schools in NSW and QLD since 2004, with over 40 yrs martial arts experience, sports fighting and many years in the security industry from working doors to teaching and building security teams for troublesome venues all along the East coast. Our system is a hybrid system because we believe no 1 system or organization has all the right answers and techniques. We have, and continue to develop many of our own techniques and also use what works best for each given situation, regardless of its origin or style, so that our students have the best possible chance of saving their life if needed. We believe all true self defence systems need to broaden their minds and take on what works best, not stick to their set curriculum which is often outdated or flat out fails under real pressure and aggression. That's why we stand out amongst the pack because we are not boxed in and stuck with only traditional Krav maga curricullum. We have adult classes for ages 15 years and over with 3 locations on the East coast of QLD (Hervey bay, Bundaberg and Maroochydore). We also teach juniors in Hervey bay ages 10 to 15 years of age. Go to www.kmaaustralia.com.au for more info! Good luck with your training, what ever style or system you may choose
and remember to "keep it real".

🔪 THE “OH SH*T” MOMENT
Movies and social media make knife defence look easy, grab the wrist, trap the arm, spin them around and snap something.
Reality doesn’t work like that.
At close range, a sudden knife attack is fast, short, violent and repetitive.
You often won’t see it early enough to neatly grab or control anything.
Your brain and body react first: cover, protect, move, get the hell out of there. Troy explains how you will do a reflexive action due to the speed and aggression of the attack and the fact that you barely having a second to see it happen is what will force that reflexive protective response that is in your DNA.
At KMAA we call this the
“OH SH*T” moment. 😳
You often don't get time to choose your reaction. The attackers distance, speed and level of aggression will choose your reaction for you.
Train for what people actually do, not Bourne Identity bu****it. 🔪⚡

THAT FINAL GROIN SHOT IS "OPTIONAL" 😂
What would you do in this position?
Accept drowning? Let them cave your head into the concrete?
Or would you fight to survive?
If you answered fight to survive? Watch the video for a chance. That's right a chance, not a guarantee.
The real world is not a ring or dojo. It's scary, it's violent and it's unpredictable.
We train to have a chance if violence ever comes knocking, to give hope, when in a moment most will feel hopeless.
Will it work?, will we survive?
We don't know... In the end reality will be your final teacher. But an option to fight, and hope is better than hoplessness.
We train for a chance... Not to believe we are great and invincible.
The street humbles greatness.

Real Violence "What Would You Do?"
Does your training really prepare you for the harsh realities of what can happen in the real world?
Is it dirty? Messy? Confronting? And at times scary and overwhelming?
Because you can bet if anything violent truly happens to you, it will be all of the above.
If you strictly want to just learn self protection and how to survive in the real world rather than in the ring or dojo.
Make sure your standing in the right classroom then.
In the end, the real world will be your final teacher.
Video on how this video plays out, drops tomorrow 👊

THIS ISN’T A FIGHT. IT’S AN ATTACK.
MMA has rules. A referee. A tap out.
Self defence has one objective: survive the attack and get home safe.
When someone rushes in aggressively for the takedown, we respond to the threat jam the collarbones, control the neck, disrupt their structure and create the opportunity to escape.
🥊 Fighting is competition.
⚠️ Self defence is protection.
Know the difference.
What would YOU do?

THEY'RE ON TOP OF YOU TRYING TO STAB YOU..
What Would you do?
A day at the beach KMAA style!
We bought our own cutlery
🔪 😆 🔪
This is a very violent and bad position to be in.
Only chance... secure and control that arm asap, then buck and roll to get on top..
Just pray you don't die beforehand.

KMAA Honest to the point, no BS, tell it how it is.
And for this problem, the last line is just how it is, fight like hell and "pray you don't die".

PEOPLE DON’T SAY “LET’S FIGHT” ON THE STREET.
THEY JUST F #%ING ATTACK YOU.
That’s the difference between learning to fight and training for real self defence.
⚠️ You don’t know when it’s coming.
⚠️ You don’t know what’s coming.
⚠️ You don’t get time to prepare.
⚠️ You don’t get to choose how you react.
That’s why we train closed eye reaction drills.
Grabbed. Threatened. Punched. Stabbed.
Your brain has milliseconds to REACT. ADAPT. DECIDE.
Real self defence is learning to function under extreme stress making crucial decisions instantly and becoming comfortable operating in violence and with violence.
DON’T JUST TRAIN TO FIGHT.
TRAIN TO REACT WHEN THE FIGHT CHOOSES YOU.

Want to survive? Then don't do this...
This online BS has to stop and what's worse is many uneducated people are believing it.
3,700 likes and countless praising comments for this absolute rubbish.
A guy basically handing you a knife and leaving his arm out extended so you can do WTF you want to it.
Sorry real knife attacks are violent and aggressive and the recoil and multiple stabbing action is fast and furious.
This technique is absolute clown central he takes 2 steps sideways as he does he presents every vital organ on the way with no defence at all and then brings his body back straight into the knife arm and does a freakn one arm wrap with some weird ass bicep bro flex to disarm the knife.
And people believe this?
Even if your 1st movement stepping around the attackers 1st stab didnt already getting you stabbed, trust us you were stabbed 10 times before you got in there and wrapped his arm with your bicep flex. There was no hand or arm defence, no control at all until you got to right beside him to grab and flex. You think that arm is going to still be out there waiting for you to tie it up and you bicep flex the arm ? 😆
But sadly when thousands of people like it , praise it, it is no longer funny, its down right dangerous.
Don't look at something and think oh that looks good, it must work. Ask yourself, would it work under severe pressure in a truly violent, chaotic attack from a non compliant psycho who has lost their s**t and wants to harm you?
Because in the end , the real world will always be your final teacher.

⚠️ KNIFE TO YOUR THROAT. WHAT NOW?
Real threats don’t look like rehearsed demonstrations.
They’re close. Aggressive. Pressing hard into you.
And the moment you react... THEY REACT TOO.
🔪 They can drive the knife forward.
🔪 They can violently recoil and retain it.
🔪 And if you haven’t slowed or stopped them, they can, and will keep attacking.
That’s why your defence must deal with BOTH directions at the same time, while simultaneously attacking the person holding the weapon.

In this example, the knee isn’t there to look good. It’s there to disrupt them, fold their posture, give us more control, and make violently ripping that knife back harder for them to do because their weight is now forward.
Forget the compliant partner. Forget the fancy lock.
Forget the attacker who magically “taps out.” ⬅️ "This right here, is the biggest joke with most online techniques getting around". Do you think someone who has lost their s**t, trying to harm you with a knife will suddenly tap out, say sorry and walk away?
Wake up people.

If they can still fight, expect them to fight.
We break it down in 3…2…1.
⚠️ Be careful what you learn online.
And is this technique a guarantee? Absolutely not.
We train to better our options and our chances. It gives hope when for others there may be none, but it's no guarantee.
REALITY IS, AND ALWAYS WILL BE, THE FINAL TEACHER.
