Combat Kempo

One of the very first Martial Arts fighters that taught a method of combat that was equally as effective on the street or in the dojo. A fighter of awesome power, Shihan Tom Slaven was truly one of Australia's first martial arts powerhouses of combat and innovator of early traditional martial arts. His focus was firmly on technique that would work under extreme duress. In his job as a security company owner in the rough areas of Sydney's western suburbs his skills would be put to the test on many occasions in what were sometimes life and death confrontations.
