Mr. Harry Gusman

Mr. Harry Gusman is the head instructor of KMA Martial Arts Sunshine Coast. He has been a Martial Arts practitioner since he was 14 years old, started practicing Kempo when he was 14, Kung Fu when he was in his 20s.

As soon as he moved to Australia in 1998, he continued training in WTF Tae Kwon Do at The Australian Martial Arts Academy under Grand Master Ridvan Manav and at the same time he also trained Hapkido under his mentor and teacher; Grand Master Fari Salievski since 2002 in KMA Martial Sydney, NSW.

After a few years of exploring some other arts of self defense including Kempo, Tae Kwon Do, Jeet Kune Do, Wing Chun and Krav Maga, he decided to go back and continue training Hapkido Combatives. It is the modern version of Hapkido that incorporates a few different martial arts  including Muay Thai, Taekwondo, Judo and practical Jiu Jitsu into one great system.

His decision has been made for the fact that Hapkido Combatives gives you options to defend and escape, defend and control and defend and destroy if it’s absolutely necessary when your life is in danger.

In the past few years he has been teaching a lot of security and police officers control and restraint techniques to stop violant people by using controlling techniques rather than brute force, unless if it was in life threatening situations.

My mission is to teach young generations to stay safe, smart, fit, mobile, flexible, aware, confident, focused, social, respectful, strong and healthy in their mind, body and spirit, while I teach them to learn to defend themselves if they ever need to. Also make long lasting friends.
