Why Combatives gets a Bad Reputation

It's because of people like this guy. A man who talks about being an operator but was in the military less than a year. He started out doing 'Combat JKD' but then invented "Comhrac Bas' which purports to show how the Gladiators fought. Which is funny because comhrac bas is actually Keltic (not Latin) for Fight Boss (rough translation). But now he's teaching Commando Combatives and knife fighting.

WTF???

Just for a little more on Mr. Clugston, you can access this review of his 'Comhrac Bas' tape at the link below this paragraph. It also includes info about his 'credentials', written by Clugston's original JKD instructor who was somehow amazed to discover the Clugston was apparently claiming to have a Black Belt awarded to him by the said instructor. He was amazed because he, the instructor, never awarded Clugston any such thing.

It's the fools, frauds and a other assorted charlatans who continue to contribute to the denigration of the Combatives based systems. The following video is an example of the extent of Mr. Clugston's knowledge base. It's pretty long I'm afraid, but it shouldn't take long to see what I'm talking about, so don't feel bad about not seeing it though to the end.

Please remember to double click on the video to get the full screen view of it.
