Linear Defence
Linear Defence, Linear Elite and Linear Combat are defensive tactics systems specifically developed for use in the law enforcement and military domains.
Linear Defence is our law enforcement focused solution that combines elements of close quarters fighting with the role scope requirements of law enforcement organisations in Australia and beyond.
Linear Defence recognises the constraints faced by many law enforcement organisations to provide their members with quality skills and training, and the realities of the operational situations endured by most law enforcement officers that often see them making split second decisions under immense stress.
Linear Defence makes use of fundamental techniques that are repeated through-out the learning continuum, even as techniques are applied to different defensive and offensive strategies. This ensures operators of all skill levels – from beginner to advanced – are operationally ready and operationally effective, whether individually or as part of a team. The use of constantly repeated – but evolving – techniques makes skills easier to reinforce, easier to retain and easier to recall, especially under stress.
“Linears repetitive but evolutionary approach is perfect for law enforcement organisations that often struggle to provide new recruits and in-service personnel with sufficient training time to gain competency in complex combative techniques. Without competency, skills are less likely to be retained. Without retention, skills are less likely to be recalled when needed most.”



A scalable system focused on the tactical workplace that is simple, effective and real. Linear International has designed scalable systems that combine elements of close quarters fighting with the role scope requirements of law enforcement and military organisations. We focus on the tactical workplace that is typified by critical incident decision making during high-risk actions, actions that may require operational members to escalate their use of force rapidly, sometimes transitioning to lethal use of force options to save their lives and the lives of their team mates.
Linear International is our company’s parent body which encompasses Linear Defence, Linear Combat and Linear Elite. All systems are developed in Australia.
Linear Combat is our civilian and general public focused solution that uses the same movement patterns and skill sets as Linear Defence.
Linear Elite is our military focused solution that embodies many elements of Linear Defence but tailors them to the military operating environment.
