Kokoro Combatives Rafael Conde
 

Sniff, sniff, I smell something...... funny, my last job in Special Forces was working at SF Command and one of my duties was silly "counter-terrorism" related stuff. You know it's crazy I've never heard of Rafael Conde and from his website he sure knows us......

Hey Rafael, what exactly is the "Executive Defense Agency"????

And how does one instruct "counter-terrorism tactics" with no formal counter-terrorism training?

Chief Tactical Training Instructor, Kokoro Combatives

Shortly after the Gulf War, Conde was recruited by a British Private Military Contractor (PMC) working with the U.S. Department of Defense. He entered a specialized program, training with British Special Air Service (SAS), U.S. Navy SEALs and U.S. Army Green Berets. The training included Counter Terrorist Tactics, CQB, Waterborne Operations, Tactical Firearms and Force Protection. Conde was promoted to Chief Agent for the South America Region. His team's job consisted of intelligence gathering in support of "Operation Centra Spike" and high risk protection in Colombia, Brazil, Bolivia and Honduras. As a team leader he led three classified high risk/high profile protective operations in South America. Two of the operations were inside the jungles of Colombia and Brazil. Conde was then assigned to the instructor cadre specializing in CQB, Hand to Hand Combat and Tactical Firearms. At that time he also introduced tactical training to several armored truck transport companies in the U.S., South America and Canada. Among over one hundred certifications and commendations, Conde is also certified as a Law Enforcement Firearms Instructor and a Law Enforcement Defensive Tactics Instructor. His articles have been published world wide. Conde is recognized as an expert in the use of firearms, hand to hand combat, edge weapons and domestic terrorism. He has testified as an expert witness in state and federal court. Conde is currently a decorated LE Agent and S.W.A.T. operator engaged in the battle against narcotics and narco trafficking. He is cross designated with (ICE) U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Blue Lightning Task Force. Daily he is called upon to use his training, skills and mindset. Conde is also the founder of CombatAiki Concepts.

Looks like he hides behind his wife or MOM??

and another business:

and if that don't tingle your willy,, There is SOUCN GROUP * 4


Wasn't there some AH running a contractor scam out of Boca Raton. He signed up a bunch of guys for bogus SWA PSD work??

I've taught my wife and sons to shoot and a few other things - guess they can start their own companies some day and claim they, too, were "trained by Special Forces" or "trained with Special Forces." ;)

Richard

Would this qualify as a trained operator, or just one starting out?

80PAX
 

I guess the 82nd guys in the 80PAX class with me can claim they "Trained with Special Forces in defensive driving techniques".

But at least the 82nd guys were active duty and good troops.

Special Operations Unit Code Name Group *4
 

LOLOLOLOLOLOL you know he's been reading/playing Tom Clancy's "Rainbow-Six".

Special Operations Unit Code Name Group *4 is almost at my "ultra-extreme very very high risk" operational ability.

But TS......

Doesn't both being Black belts in multiple martial arts venues, certified life guard, count as active duty? Maybe while patroling the hostile coastlines, somewhere off the coast of Destin, FL, they observed some SEAL Teams, and assisted them in foraging for food, or beverages. Who knows, maybe they saved their lives...

Buck

I'm sitting here reading from his websites and then it hit me:

What happened to "Special Operations Unit Code Name Group *1, *2 & *3 ????????? Give me the chills just thinking about "them".



Special Operations Unit Code Name Group *4 is composed of Highly Trained Specialized Operatives (HTSO).

If I knew,,,

Well you know the drill... :cool:

k
 

Yeah I looked over his web page, and one word came to mind " TOOL"

C'mon now...the first Special Forces group formed was the 10th, followed by the 77th...it's part of the tradition...

I found his pictures funny and disturbing.

2 images that come to mind with one "operator" shooting a pistol at the 10 ft. mark, when the targets look like they were shot by a 12ga. 00Buck at 25 ft.

The usage of a real gun on what looks to be a range to demonstrate the blast your nuts off technique. I mean c'mon, they teach really cool guys the best techniques. That looks like one of them. Why not take out your opponent and keep him from creating replacement bad-guys. You know, real men offer the enemy the chance to knock your pistol out of battery because it gets more personal, therefore being cooler.

Douche-nozzle.

I like some of the operational names taken from books that described activities, not operations. Suprised there isn't an Operation Angry Badger, or Operation Poop Sock. Both sound cool and really hideous.

edit to read: 'Operation Happy Sock'.....dreaming of doing shit like we've done our whole adult lives....

Here's the ass-istant instructor:

Scroll to Gary Del Giorno....super-hero. :rolleyes:

Where do these people come up with this BS.....ah...um.....HALO....FK ME.

Now you know why we have decided to "re-number" the teams...we have to keep the enemy guessing. Originally you were known by two digits...i.e. "I'm on 25" (hmmm...must be at least 24 other elements). Then we started using three digits (pick your favorite group...same idea). Now we're using four digits...it gives us the appearance of growth.

Apparently Conde's resume changed over the past few years. I guess he might have even trained a few of you guys, and you didn't even know it!:
