About Paul
Profile / About Me
I am an experienced professional instructor, educator and security practitioner with more than 40 years of combined experience across the military, law enforcement, protective security, martial arts and specialist training environments.
My background includes service with the Australian Army and Australian Federal Police, together with extensive experience in protective security, close personal protection, operational safety, security awareness and training. I have trained police, military, security personnel, martial artists and members of the general public in Australia and internationally.
I am the Founder and Chief Instructor of Street Edge Krav Maga International and have decades of experience in martial arts and practical self-defense. My approach focuses on realistic, practical skills that can be adapted to the individual student’s experience, age, ability and objectives.
I also have a Bachelor of Education and extensive experience designing and delivering structured training programs, presentations, workshops and professional education.
My teaching style is friendly, patient and professional. I believe students learn best when they understand not only what to do, but why they are doing it.
What I Teach
I offer both face-to-face and online tuition, depending on the subject and the student’s requirements.
Face-to-face tuition can include practical self-defense, Krav Maga, situational awareness, personal safety, defensive movement, conflict avoidance, martial arts fundamentals and personal protection concepts.
Online tuition is particularly suitable for security studies, protective security principles, close personal protection theory, situational awareness, threat and risk assessment, personal safety planning, martial arts theory, training methodology and professional mentoring.
I can work with complete beginners through to experienced martial artists, security professionals and instructors who would like to expand their knowledge.
Lessons can be structured as individual tuition or tailored programs based on a student’s particular goals.
My Teaching Philosophy
My objective is not simply to teach techniques. It is to help students develop awareness, confidence, sound judgment and practical skills.
For self-defense students, this means understanding avoidance, awareness, verbalization, movement and decision-making before physical techniques become necessary. For professional students, it means developing a deeper understanding of security, risk, planning and protective methodologies.
Whether you are a complete beginner wanting to improve your personal safety, a martial artist looking to develop more practical skills, or a security professional seeking mentoring and additional knowledge, lessons can be tailored specifically to you.
Online and face-to-face tuition available. Beginners are very welcome.

About My Lessons
My lessons are practical, personalized and tailored to each student’s individual goals, experience and ability. Whether you are a complete beginner, experienced martial artist, security professional or simply someone wanting to improve your personal safety and confidence, I will structure the training around what you want to achieve.
My teaching draws upon more than 40 years of experience across martial arts, military service, law enforcement, protective security and professional education. Rather than simply teaching techniques, I focus on helping students understand why something works, when it should be used and how it can be applied realistically.
Face-to-face lessons can cover practical self-defense, Krav Maga, situational awareness, personal safety, conflict avoidance, defensive movement and martial arts skills.
Online lessons can cover personal safety and situational awareness, protective security, close personal protection and bodyguard principles, threat and risk assessment, security planning, martial arts theory, instructor development and professional mentoring.
My approach is friendly, patient and professional. There is no expectation that you need to be fit, experienced or confident before starting. We work progressively at a pace appropriate to you.
My aim is for every student to leave a lesson with greater knowledge, confidence, awareness and practical skills than when they started.
Private one-to-one tuition is available both face-to-face and online.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
I know Paul through his in-person Street Edge Krav Maga classes. I appreciate his extensive life experience, open mind, professionalism, kindness, honesty, sense of humor, and attention to detail that he brings to his teaching. Before I met Paul, I had some mixed martial arts knowledge, but what he has taught me in the past seven months has given me the confidence to walk the streets at night as a [very petite] woman. I’d hate to be the person that tries to attack me. I now watch movies and real-life videos of police and self-defense, and I can see a lot of gaps in the videos showing what could have been done to manage a situation more effectively. Partaking in Stop The Bleed, Active Armed Shooter Training, and edged weapons defense with Paul and his team has given me knowledge and confidence that I didn’t know I needed. Training with Paul can be confronting in a way that it brings you back to the reality of what can happen and what you may need to do when you’re faced with a physical threat. The five principles he teaches and always draws us back to are drawn from his lived experience, including his experience in dealing with the Taliban. I highly value and appreciate the opportunity to be learning from him.
Paul is an extremely knowledgeable & experienced teacher. Very generous with his time he delivers his lessons in a respectful, calm & patient manner. Highly recommend
