About Peter

Peter Weckauf is the founder and Head Instructor of SAMI Combat Systems. With more than 26 years of experience teaching Krav Maga, self-defense and combat training, he has developed several SAMI training systems and concepts used by students and instructors internationally. His approach combines practical techniques, structured learning and modern training methods. The focus is not only on learning individual techniques, but on developing timing, coordination, reactions, movement and the ability to combine skills naturally.

Peter continuously develops new training methods, drills and programs for the SAMI-X platform.

Specializations

  • Self-Defense (Core Defense, Krav Maga)

  • Panantukan

Training focus

Practical. Structured. Progressive.

Peter's training focuses on skills that can be developed step by step and applied under increasingly realistic conditions.

Training includes

  • Technique development
  • Combination training
  • Partner drills
  • Reaction training
  • Coordination and timing
  • Pad and bag training
  • Solo training
  • Guided training
  • Flow and transition drills

Teaching philosophy

Understand. Practice. Repeat. Adapt.

Techniques are only useful when they can be performed naturally. Peter's training therefore emphasizes repetition, progressive exercises and the ability to connect individual techniques into functional movement.

The goal is not to collect techniques, but to develop usable skills.
