Proactive Self Defence has its roots back in 1979 with founder Kyoshi Shihan Rick O'Brien commencing Kenpo Karate in Hurstbridge dojo. In 1984 Rick as a 17 year old brown belt was asked to continue Mernda dojo as the instructor had to move.
From here Rick's coaching skills developed along with his skills as he furthered his Muay Thai & Filipino martial arts under Mick Nicholls freestyle combat as well as studying overseas in Thailand, USA & Papua New Guinea.His classes were so popular he opened Dojangs in Whittlesea in 1988, Wallan in 1989, Mill Park in 1991, Lalor & Epping in 1992 Greensborough & Eltham in 1993.
