How to fight like a Commando

The Commando Tactical Knife Training

by · Published · Updated

The Commando Tactical Knife Training done in the Pre Kilo Course was  a Blast.

Senior Master Instructor/Subject Matter Expert, Christophe Clugston delivered a 12 hour Commando Knife Course–Pre Kilo Knife.

Just to give you some details: the course covered the Glock Field Knife, a favorite tactical utility knife used by loads of military and contractor units around the World.  It is a typical lightweight 8.8 ounces optimal  6.5 inch blade which fits into the modern military knife doctrine. It also fits with doctrine for modern knives that  are designed for multi use.

 

The candidates learned the Commando Grip, which is very different from the Filipino, Silat or Bowie knife positions.

 

They learned the correct stance and used tactics over techniques just like all modern tactical shooters do.

 

They went knife against knife (no trainers were used–only the real knife) and they learned how to face real knife attacks unarmed.

And what do the graduates have to say about it?

Here’s a few of their comments:

‘I originally started on the “martial arts path” because I wanted to protect my life and those of my loved ones, but the martial arts gyms I trained at, from kung fu to Brazilian jujitsu, Muay Thai, MMA, did not offer answers for some of the most common types of violence humans face in the real world: robberies, burglaries, violent beatings, stabbings, mobs of multiple attackers, etc. They’re some of the most difficult situations to make it out alive from, but the true difference of Instructor Clugston’s courses is that he tackles these apparently impossible situations head on. What would you do if you were unarmed and were attacked by someone with a knife? Clugston’s got the answer, what’s more his training is backed up by decades of expertise living in some of the most dangerous places in the world (Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, the Philippines, and others) and training military, police and SF units all around the world (from USA, Canada, UK, France, the Philippines, and others). I would trust in no other training I’ve encountered to prepare me for surviving, after all, life isn’t a video game where we get multiple chances. You can’t “learn from your loss” if you’re dead! Don’t chance your life on a sport: stick with Clugston’s Commandos.  –Sam S., New York,

Nothing in a fight is guaranteed. That’s particularly true where knives are involved. I’ve sought out knife fighting instruction for years in the military, in law enforcement and through civilians and traditional martial arts. I’ve found maybe a couple that were good. Of all of them, Christophe’s training is the one that makes me feel the most comfortable about my odds. No overly complicated fancy techniques. A straightforward system that I don’t have to spend years training to master. A method of instruction that builds and hard wires what you need to know, to a functional level, faster than I’ve experienced training with anyone else.’ –Mike G., Ohio 
‘After 3 days of the pre Kilo course i feel confident in my ability to deal with a knife armed and unarmed. Christophe will hardwire these strategies into you so you are prepared. You will learn how to deal with attacks no one addresses or knows how to. A flick of the wrist is all it takes.’ –Phil P., Ohio
