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systems need to broaden their minds and take on what works best, not stick to their set curriculum which is often outdated or flat out fails under real pressure and aggression.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".

🔥 TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT, HERVEY BAY 🔥
Free Trial Night is Here 👊
Still time to book a spot if you message before 5pm.
This is usually the point where fear, doubt and every excuse in the book can suddenly show up.
“I’m tired.” “I’ll do it next time.”
“I don’t know anyone.” “I’m nervous.” oh something came up. “Maybe this isn’t for me.”
That’s the old you trying to keep you exactly where you are.
Walking through the door for the first time can be the hardest part. Once you’re inside, you’ll be surrounded by supportive, encouraging, everyday people in a completely ego free environment where everyone is there to learn, improve and have a crack.
⚡ You do not need to be fit.
⚡ You do not need experience.
⚡ You do not need to prove anything.
⚡ You just need to show up.
Expect a fun, high energy, welcoming atmosphere where you can go at your own pace and get a real taste of what KMAA is all about.
Don’t let a temporary feeling make the decision for you.
You booked your spot for a reason.
Tonight, take that first step. Walk through the door, not into it 😆.
We’ll take care of the rest. 👊
See you tonight.

🚪 THE HARDEST PART IS WALKING THROUGH THE DOOR FOR THE FIRST TIME.
Fear. Nerves. Your past. Self doubt.
Don’t let any of them hold you back from becoming a stronger version of yourself.
Take that first step.
Once you do, you might just wish you’d done it years ago.
At KMAA, you’ll find everyday people in a supportive, encouraging and fun environment.
No egos. No judgement. All welcome.
And remember…
The hardest step is the first step.
Although if you walk THROUGH the door instead of INTO it, you’ll probably be off to a better start. 😆🚪💥

🔪 YOU DON’T GET TO CHOOSE YOUR KNIFE DEFENCE.
There are 2 very different responses to a stab:
⚡ READY & AGGRESSIVE — you see it coming and have time to act.
⚡ CAUGHT OFF GUARD & REFLEXIVE — your body reacts before you can think.
Distance and reaction time decide which one you get.
If a knife attack happens suddenly at close range, forget catching the hand, grabbing the arm, calmly moving offline and performing some perfect forearm defence.
That’s online BS.
At close range,
your first response will likely be a natural “OH SH*T” reflex.
Train WITH that reaction, not against it.
And remember: the knife doesn’t stab once and freeze.
THE RECOIL IS FAST.
THE RE ATTACK IS REAL.
That alone destroys most of the knife defences you see online.
Train for reality, not to look fancy....

STOP CONFUSING COMPLIANCE WITH SELF DEFENCE.
Watch last 5 seconds of video for a "real world" choke!
A real rear choke is tight, aggressive and ripping you backwards.
If your defence ends with you tapping the attacker… yourself… or the bloody floor 🤣
we’ve got a problem.
Real violence won’t cooperate.
Train for resistance.
Train for aggression.
Train for reality.
⚡ NO RULES • NO GIMMICKS • NO BS

🔥 IF YOUR SELF DEFENCE ENDS WITH SOMEONE TAPPING OUT… WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENS NEXT?
You tap the attacker.
You tap yourself.
Apparently you can even tap the ground. 😂
“GROUND… PLEASE MAKE HIM STOP.” 😆
And then what?
Does the attacker realise you tapped, apologise for the inconvenience and walk off in shame? 🤦‍♂️
This stuff gets thousands of likes online with comments saying how “awesome” it is.
But looking cool and working against a compliant partner is NOT the same as surviving real aggression.
⚠️ Real attackers don’t tap out.
⚠️ They don’t stop because something hurts.
⚠️ They can pull away, recoil and attack again.
⚠️ And they definitely don’t stand there waiting for your next technique.
Self defence should prepare you for resistance, aggression and retaliation, not cooperation.
😂 Enjoy the reel… but seriously, be careful what you believe online.
REAL WORLD SELF DEFENCE.
NO RULES. NO GIMMICKS. NO BS.

🔪 IF THEY CAN STILL
“TAP OUT” 😆
THEY CAN STILL ATTACK YOU.
Real knife threats don’t usually come with a straight arm, loads of space and a compliant attacker waiting while you grab wrists, spin around and perform some ridiculous lock.
They come close.
Hard. Aggressive.
You need to control the forward threat AND the recoil re-attack motion, while disrupting them immediately with an attack.
Because they’re not going to tap your arm and surrender.
They’re going to attack you again.
That’s the part most online knife defence conveniently leaves out.
No fancy choreography.
No compliant attacker.
No guarantees.
Just training designed to give you a chance when the situation is real.
🎥 Watch the technique — then watch the slow motion breakdown at the end.

NO RULES- NO GIMMICKS- NO BS

"AGGRESSIVE KNIFE THREAT"
What Would You Do?
Just give them what they want you say?
Ok they want your life, your child, your loved one. They want to take you to a 2nd location and do monsterous things to you. Some things you may not want to give up.
Our favourite "yee haaw" I'll shoot em, can they beat a bullet?, gun beats knife blah, blah, blah.
Yes because we all carry a gun. Oh and its loaded, oh and I have it out ready to shoot them, they will wait till I get it before slitting my throat 🤔🙄
Full video on how to "maybe" save your life drops tonight 👊
Yep we said maybe!
Because we don’t BS our students.
Training and techniques gives us a chance, hope when there may otherwise be none.
But its no guarantee!
The real world is just that....
"REAL"
Be sure to look out for the full video drop tonight!
