Pat Honan, Alice Springs, Northern Territory 

Assistant Instructor

Pat Honan, Head instructor of Krav Australia teaches Israeli Krav International Krav Maga, based in Israel.    Pat traveled three times to Israel for intensive training with Moshe Katz CEO and Founder of IKI.

Pat Says: 

I own and operate a security company based in Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia. I have owned this company for 12 years and have built up an amazing team of dedicated men  committed to their job of public security. We deal with dangerous situations every day, and due to the necessity of our locational needs we mostly deal in crowd control, anti- social behavior, asset protection of our clients and event management. 

We also have a successful dog unit who are an integral part of our team, we employ our loyal dogs for most of these situations. I am very proud of my dogs who have selflessly endangered their lives daily. 

I have been involved in martial arts since I was 11 years old, and have spent my years since then committed to the safety and security of the public. I worked for many years in high risk security jobs, both off shore and at sea.

I started learning Martial Arts when I was 21. I was doing security at pubs/clubs in New Zealand when a bloke asked me if I could fight. He gave me his business card and invited me to attend his Vale Tudo gym where he showed me some techniques which sort of kick started me into learning. Four years later I was doing security in Surfers Paradise in Queensland Australia where I started learning BJJ and Combat Ishin Ryu through my boss then competed in the following year as a white belt in the open heavyweight section of the Mas Oyama World Cup for Kyokoshin Karate 2006. I was competing against Black Belts and came 3rd. In 2010 I had a Professional Cagefight and won via 2nd round submission and trained with some of the best MMA fighters in Australia at the time at 5 Rings Dojo. 2012 I moved to Alice Springs, Northern Territory in Australia and in 2013 & 2014 I had amateur MMA fights in Alice Springs fighting for Progressive Fight Centre under Patrick Honan where I won one fight and lost one. Not long after that I was working for Patrick Honan running security for multiple pubs/clubs for his company and learning IKI Krav Maga. Alcohol and drugs were bad everywhere so I convinced myself that I needed to up my game and learn more Martial Arts if I was to keep doing security. I eventually left security and became a Police Officer. Along the journey I learnt a lot of other styles. I was never graded in Combat Ishin Ryu after 3 years and gained my Blue Belt in BJJ but was never in it for the belts, just for MMA. I enjoy Krav Maga and find it addictive. I've been instructing for the past year teaching women's self defence classes.
