The Quest
Dave Stevens has been the Chief Instructor for the Todd Group in Australia for over 10 years and still can't believe it took him so long to find out about what real combat training was like. - CQB Course Queensland
The Todd Group's entry into Australia came via a request from the now late Rangi Nichols of 'Who Dares Incorporated' to take on some of his instructing roles due to his failing health. - CQC Australia
Tank, the chief instructor for the Todd Group, made his first visit to Australia in the late 70s. Since then he has returned many times and in the past 20 years has conducted a lot of courses and established Todd Group depots across Australia.
