SHANE HUME
Head Trainer
Shane started training from an early age learning boxing from his father and Australian Feather Weight Johnny Famechon as a child.
Growing up Shane continued to broaden his martial skill set by learning Taekwondo, Karate and Judo.
As an adult Shane spent time overseas training in Muay Thai, Kabri Kabrong, Lethwei and Muay Boran and he then traveled to the Philipines where he quickly fell in love with Filipino Martial arts and South East Asian arts in general.
​
In 1990 Shane began his training with Australian Freestyle Combat under Mick Nichols and has remained a devotee of the system ever since.
In 2017 Shane took his passion for self defense into the corporate world conducting onsite self defense classes in Melbourne’s CBD. The classes were very well received and are ongoing.
Shane has over 35 years of combined martial arts training and is a passionate, friendly, easy going and talented instructor and martial artist.
