With a strong background in professional security, Peter understands that many traditional techniques are too slow or impractical for real-life situations. That insight led to the development of ICS CQC a refined, modern approach to close-quarter combat focused on speed, efficiency, and real-world effectiveness.
Developed and taught here in Melbourne, this system removes ineffective, sport-based moves and prioritises techniques that work under pressure in actual street encounters. It’s designed for genuine self-defence, giving individuals practical skills they can rely on in real situations.

Posted on Google M VieiraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Peter Sciarra is without a doubt one of the best and most skilled self-defense instructors out there. I've done Kung Fu in the past and tried other martial arts such as Krav Maga, but after a few classes at ICS, I learned some useful self-defense skills. Peter, the instructor, is very knowledgeable and skilled, but he explains things in simple ways that are easy to understand.Posted on Google Paul McCarthyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic self defence system. If you want to train with the best, train ICS with Peter Sciarra!Posted on Google Jason AustinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I attended the counter knife seminar. This seminar was fantastic. Timing of the training was well spaced out, giving you plenty of practice to consolidate the drills and techniques. Peter's knowledge, patience and willingness comes through in his teaching style. We built up our skills with each session which was neatly linked to our previous drills. Great training, great price and valuable skills learnt. Thanks Jason. 👍Posted on Google Lee AustinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
