A highly experienced soldier, Clancy Roberts became a Mission Specialist Instructor (MSI) for Kinetic Fighting after retiring from the Army in 2015. He has been training Army personnel in tactical driving, combat shooting and the Australian Army Combatives Program (ACP) ever since. During that time he also spent three years managing security training and planning for the Sydney Opera House, while spearheading KEF’s close personal protection (CPP) operations in Australia and NZ.

Clancy’s military career began with seven years in the Australian Army’s Infantry division and three tours of East Timor, before he joined the 2nd Commando Regiment as a sniper. He then did three combat tours of Afghanistan and two close-protection operations in Iraq over five years. Having had many years of martial arts training, he also assisted KEF founder Paul Cale teaching close-quarter fighting (CQF) at the Commando Operational Level Training (COLT) cell.

Clancy’s industry qualifications include an Advanced Diploma of Leadership and Management, a Diploma of Security/Risk Management and Certificate IV in Workplace Health and Safety, and Training and Assessment. In addition to his MSI role, Clancy is now KEF’s chief instructor of navigation and survival training, and a Combatives Master Trainer (CMT), based in Sydney, NSW.
