Street Edge Krav Maga Vietnam

Today, USA News published a feature on my journey with Street Edge Krav Maga International.

The article outlines how my background in the military, law enforcement and protective security shaped SEKMI’s real-world approach to self-defence — focused on awareness, resilience and preparing people for worst-case scenarios.

SEKMI has never been about sport or competition. It’s about mindset, personal responsibility and giving everyday people the skills and confidence to protect themselves and their families.

I’m incredibly proud of how far our community has come and grateful for the opportunity to share our story on an international platform.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the journey.

Street Edge Krav Maga International wishes you and your loved ones a Happy New Year!
May 2026 bring you strength, safety, good health, and confidence.

Training is controlled. Predictable. Safe.
Real-world violence is none of those things.

At Street Edge Krav Maga International, we go far beyond traditional training. We prepare you for the worst moments of your life — the moments that arrive without warning, when adrenaline spikes, fear kicks in, and only real-world skills and mindset will keep you safe.

If you want training that actually mirrors what happens on the street, not in a dojo… you’re in the right place.

Become the Hardest Target Possible. 💥👊

“Survival Requires Perfection” isn’t just a motto at Street Edge Krav Maga International — it’s a mindset.

In violent encounters, hesitation or sloppy technique can mean disaster. At SEKMI, students are trained to refine every movement, eliminate unnecessary actions, and build habits that work under stress. Perfection doesn’t mean being flawless; it means striving for the highest standard every time you train.

Through realistic drills, scenario-based pressure, and attention to detail, students learn that survival is earned through discipline, precision, and constant improvement. In our system, perfection is not the goal — it’s the requirement that keeps you alive.

Consistency to being the hardest target possible is Key: Regular practice is not only important but it’s essential for improvement. Even short daily sessions of 10-15 minutes can lead to significant progress over time 👍🙏

Feeling very grateful and proud to receive this award today from the Action Martial Arts Hall of Honors 2024 (United States of America) as a recipient of the Elite Honorable Warrior Award for my contribution to martial arts, self defence and defensive tactics over the past 40 years teaching civilians, police, law enforcement, military and special forces throughout the world.

I sincerely appreciate those individuals and organisations from the martial arts communities in Australian, United States and globally who endorsed my nomination for this award. I’m very humbled and honoured so thank you 🙏🙏

I’d like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank those responsible who recently nominated me for the 7th International Martial Arts Hall of Fame which was held in India for 2024.

Unfortunately i was unable to attend the awards ceremony as i was in Cambodia training the police and military special forces. However, whilst in Cambodia i received official notification that i was the successful candidate among a large number of very worthy candidates and i had been awarded “Best Krav Maga Instructor of the Year”.

Although I feel very proud to receive this award, the hard work never stops and I always continue to strive to be the very best I can be for myself, my loved ones and my students. No matter the accolades we receive in life we must never rest on our laurels and believe we can “switch off” because skills and knowledge are perishable and we must always remain prepared.

Thank you so much again to whoever it was that nominated me for this award and it is sincerely appreciated.

Stay safe, train often and always remain humble.

Paul Johnstone 🙏👊
