So, who is MABS?
PAUL VELDMAN
MABS is run by Paul Veldman, Founder and Chief Instructor of one of Australia’s most successful martial arts schools – Kando Martial Arts.
A 6th degree Karate black belt, black belt in Philippine Martial Arts blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Paul is also a “Category 6” Instructor in the Floro Fighting Systems. He is also a student of Kobudo and Kinetic Fighting Systems (KEF).
The Kando Organisation has 7 locations, and nearly 3000 students.
Paul was a member of Victoria Police for 17 years. During this time, he was an operational duties member, a member of the Force Response Unit and later a “train the trainer” in Conflict Management, Defensive Tactics, Firearms and Forced Building Entry Techniques. He was also a Siege and Hostage Negotiator and part of the Close Personal Protection teams.
Specialising in retention, instructor training and team building, as well as the many other day-to-day skills that add up to running a successful club, Paul created MABS to help provide guidance and assistance to businesses who do not have the financial luxury typically needed for a consultancy service. His aim? To help committed martial arts business owners gain the same success as Kando through access and assistance to programs he currently uses in his own clubs.
