Clay Roueche’s Combined Combat System

Someone has posted an interesting write up about a system of martial arts that Clay Roueche has created called Combined Combat System on a public Facebook account set up to promote his Book of Indomitable Virtues. We all knew that Clay had a black belt in Taekwondo. Yet I had no idea about the extent of his MMA background. In addition to that he has been able to train with some impressive boxers and martial artists in prison after he got out of solitary.

This is what the write up says:

Professor Roueche, the founder & visionary that started the CCS School of Martial Arts, comes from a family line of the military tradition. His grandfather, being awarded the Medal of Honor during World War II, is a strong indication of that. Additionally, his great grandfather was a U.S. Navy Middle Weight Boxing Champion which solidified the Roueche family's love for the sweet science. As a child, the moment Professor Roueche saw his first Bruce Lee movie his martial journey began.

With his respect & admiration for the legendary Bruce Lee came the love for Asian culture, which included the warrior monks of the Shaolin Temple and the warriors of ancient Japan. Because of these influences Professor Roueche had a strong desire to learn more about the philosophies of the orient. This passion led him to read books such as; Sun Tzu's "Art of War", Miyo Musashi's "The Book of Five Rings", Chin Ning Chu's "Thich Face Black Heart", and to study; Taoism, Buddhism, Shintoism, and the samurai's code of the Bushido.

Professor Roueche's first official martial arts training began at 12 years of age by way of Ninjutsu: the head instructor was also a master of White Crane Kung Fu. During this period he trained in Judo as well. He passionately wanted to study Master Bruce Lee's style of Kung Fu but there were no schools available where he lived. He eventually found a home at Baek's Taekwondo Academy where the master was fresh out of the Korean army. Master Baek was a decorated Army middle weight champion, and a graduate of an esteemed martial arts university in Korea.

Professor Roueche spent as much time as possible at his new training hall. He soon earned his poom belt, which is a black belt for kids under the age of 16 years old. At his masters urging he entered the Provincial Men's Feather weight black belt Taekwondo Championships. Master Baek wanted him to enter the contest for experiential purposes. Professor Roueche ended up winning the tournament and becoming the Mens Provincial Champion at just 15 years of age. He went on to win many tournaments and establish himself as a championship competitor.

It was during this time that he started cross training at The Golden Lion Muay Thai Academy under the tutelage of Master Songlith a traditional Thai Ajarn and former Stadium Champion. His Muay Thai training further enhanced his skills while also making him a prominent figure within the Asian community.

To sharpen his boxing he trained with talented boxers hailing from areas like; New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, and Florida: learning elements from the different styles of each individual state. Professor Roueche's mindset is that there is something to be learned from every style. Among the more notable boxer's he trained with was Ian "SchoolBoy" Garret out of Florida, who was a 3 time US National Golden Glove Champion that turned pro and went on to become the NBA Middle Weight Champion.

With the birth of the UFC and the Gracie Family showing the effectiveness of jiu jitsu, Professor Roueche continued his search to become a more complete martial artist until finally coming across a former Pan American judo Champion and jiu jitsu extraordinaire by the name of Miguel Malgoza, it was this man of virtuoso that helped him establish his ground game. Sensei Malgoza is also a high level Kempo karate black belt under the late Great Master Ed Parker, who coincidentally was a close personal friend of the Legendary Bruce Lee. Sensei Malgoza is the epitome of fortitude and continues to train with some of the best Brazilian jiu jitsu competitors in the world.

Additionally, Professor Roueche had the privilege to train with a weapons specialist by the name of Kevin Marrie from Miami Florida. Mr. Kevin Marrie, started his martial arts training in Shotokan karate prior to departing on a military tour of duty in Vietnam. While serving in Vietnam Sensei Marrie continued to train with other martial artists from both Korean and Chinese styles, which further sharpened his skills. Upon returning to American soil he went on to obtain his black belt in the Seibukan school of Shorin Ryu karate and became a top Florida state karate competitor winning many esteemed tournaments in the 1970's.

While being in the army Sensei Marrie was stationed at different military bases throughout the U.S. and he took full advantage of the training opportunities that presented themselves. It was during that time he embraced Arnis further adding to his arsenal of weapons skills. This training combined with some of his previous training gave him a deeper understanding of soft style arts. Sensei Marrie trained Professor Roueche in the yantok sticks of Arnis, the tanto/saber, long and short bo staff techniques from numerous styles, traditional kenjutsu techniques, and cane techniques taught in some Korean styles. With this training also came weapons disarming techniques, a vast assortment of joint locking techniques, and flow drills to improve defensive capabilities against both unarmed and armed attackers.

Professor Roueche's close friends have known him by many names which include "Thunderfoot" because of his fast explosive kicks and "High Voltage" because of his movements on the mat while training in jiu jitsu. His life philosophy is based on the Japanese term "Kaizen" which means betterment. The Legendary Bruce Lee once said, "absorb everything that is useful", and that's something that has never left Professor Roueche's mind. His attitude is that there is always something to be learned, so one must never believe their cup to be full. No one knows everything, therefore he encourages students to be humble and keep an open mind.

The CCS School of Martial Arts is based on the Big Brother system where teachers and mentors from all aspects of the martial arts get together for the benefit of the students so pupils can continuously improve their skill set. Professor Roueche is all about having a strong family unit, and his training hall is designed to embrace that spirit by helping everyone be the best they can be.

The goal of Professor Roueche is to have his students through quality martial art training improve their lives by embracing a valued code of ethics. Combined Combat Systems is a constant never ending evolution to constantly refine and sharpen martial skills until the students fully grasp the ultimate realization of combat.

US Magistrate Judge Reappointments

Ever since that huge court case I had with Telus in San Francisco, I've been registered to e-file court documents in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Consequently I just received an email requesting public feedback about the reappointment of two US judges for another 8 year term. We don't have that in Canada.

"The current terms of office for the following United States Magistrate Judges in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California are due to expire: U.S. Magistrate Judge Jacqueline S. Corley on May 17, 2019; and U.S. Magistrate Judge Nathanael Cousins on July 4, 2019. The United States District Court is required by law to establish a panel of citizens to consider the reappointment of a magistrate judge to a new 8-year term."

"Comments from members of the bar and the public are invited as to whether these incumbent magistrate judges should be recommended by the panel for reappointment by the court. Separate comments for each magistrate judge should be submitted in writing no later than August 31, 2018." That is what the notice declares.

Can you imagine how helpful that would be in Canada? Can you imagine how helpful that would have been in dealing with complete lunatics like Peter Leask? The public would be allowed to make recommendations saying don't reappoint him, the guy is an idiot. Look at what he has done. Whistle blowers could report corruption and the court would actually have the authority to do something about it. What a wonderful world that would be.

Right now the current system in Canada is not working. Something needs to be done about it.

Calgary man accused of killing girlfriend, then mother and stepfather 6 days later

CBC is reporting that "A day after Calgary police found three people slain in two different locations, the force says the killings occurred almost a week apart. Dustin Duthie, 25, has been charged with three counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Taylor Toller, Shawn Boshuck and Alan Pennylegion. CBC News has confirmed that the dead are the accused's girlfriend, his mother and stepfather. A duty counsel lawyer representing Duthie appeared before a justice of the peace Wednesday morning in Calgary." That is psychotic and premeditated.

So I guess those wingnut Anarchists think this is OK right? After all, no laws mean no laws. "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" right? Not on my watch ya freaking lunatics.

In Memory of John Carten and the Water Crimes Blog

A friend recently asked me about the Water Crimes blog claiming that no one has been posting on it of late and asked me if I knew anything. Unfortunately I do. John Carten passed away of cancer in Kelowna. I met John three times. Twice with Jack English in Vancouver and once in Saint Paul's hospital. The first time we went for dim sum. The second time we went for Portuguese down the street. He was a good man with a lot of important stories to tell.

John is most famous for the Water Crimes blog which exposed judicial corruption in Canada. He used to be a fully licensed practicing lawyer in BC. That is why the powers that be were so terrified of him. He was educated and had a lot of inside information about them. His conclusion was that "The Law Society of British Columbia has become a criminal organization."

I'm going to piece together some of his postings before they disappear off the internet so I can memorialize his quest. In fact, the recent Judicial Treason website I made is in his memory.

John was a practicing lawyer who went through a difficult divorce. Tragically the judicial system completely destroyed him financial in a brutal and petty manner. The Family Relations Act speaks to the best interest of the child. Destroying a child's father is never in the child's best interest. I hope his kids will one day understand that their father was in fact a good man.

John had been assisting Jack English pro bono who had his family resort near Tofino stolen through the BCIMC Fraud. The corruption in that case was astounding and it's tentacles reached far into the Law Society, the BC Liberals and the BC Judicial system itself.

William Majcher is a former police undercover investigator who brought down a lawyer that laundered money for the Haney Hells Angels which was tied to the murder of Ernie Ozolins. His Supreme Court Affidavit claims that Lawyers have become key players in money laundering operations because they are exempt from a federal requirement to report suspicious financial transactions. "My experience is that it's a widespread problem."

Insp. Majcher said Mr. Rosenfeld told him it was "twenty times" easier to launder money from Canada than the United States. He was also told during the investigation that five lawyers in Vancouver regularly laundered $200,000 a month through trust accounts in return for a 7-per-cent commission. Other lawyers used offshore accounts, stock market scams and foundations to hide illicit cash, Insp. Majcher testified.

So when the BC Law society went after John Carten in a petty and malicious manner, it became clear that his conclusion had merit. "The Law Society of British Columbia has become a criminal organization." We have seen that in their recent bid to kill the Canadian Charter of Rights and destroy religious freedom in Canada. May he Rest in Peace.

"Take up our quarrel with the foe to you, from failing hands, we throw the torch: be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders fields" John Carten was a soldier of Rome. Honour him.

One of John' campaigns was against a lawyer on Vancouver island who ripped off Jack English named Greg Harney whose billing bullying made the Vancity Biz. Greg Harney faced a disciplinary hearing with the Law Society on June 21, 2017.

CBC reported that his client's ex husband sold drugs and associated with the Hells Angels, and that Vancouver police had told Byrne her ex-husband who had sizable off shore accounts was murdered by associates after he disappeared.

This website at lawsocietybc.weebly.com is one of John Carten's most iconic works documenting his beef with the Law Society. I have now saved all the information and am preparing a mirror for when the powers that be get it taken down. Erin go Bragh. Tiocfaidh ár lá.



When I met John at St Paul's hospital in Vancouver he was recovering from chemotherapy and was thrilled to have received a new lease on life. He had a large tumor and was close to dying. The chemotherapy was successful. He was released from the hospital and relocated to Kelowna where he later had a relapse and died in hospital. I also met John's GF who was wonderfully supportive. My condolences. Life does not end at death. We will meet again but not yet.

Wake up Surrey: Vote for Doug McCallum

When I was at the People First panel discussion on crime I was asked my opinion about the Wake Up Surrey movement. I said I support that movement. Others were less eager. I explained that I was there. That rally was well attended. People had pictures of family members who had been killed in recent gang violence. Mothers were still in mourning. It was heartbreaking. Their message to city hall was loud and clear: Wake up and Do Something.



I spoke with a member of the Sikh Motorcycle club at that rally and asked him if he would run for council. He said no and that he was fed up. He said they went to all that work a year ago organizing the same rally and nothing was done. More fatalities has been the result.

Providing homes for the homeless on the Surrey Strip has been a colossal step forward for everyone. That place was a cesspool of exploitation. The Anarchists are complaining about the progress made because they never wanted homes for the homeless. They just wanted to create pockets of lawlessness because they are Anarchists. That self defeating mandate is complete insanity. If you can steal from me, I can steal from you and chaos is the result.

I support the New York Crime Reduction model for Surrey and the Safe Surrey Coalition are the ones that will implement it because unlike the Anarchists, they are on the same page. I am not here to promote myself. I'm not running. I'm here to promote what's right.



Jeff Shantz from the Social Injustice Centre wrote a couple of books - Beyond Communism and Constructive Anarchy. Just like I said. Anarchists are complete Wingnuts and the Social Justice Centre has absolutely nothing to do with Social Justice. Just so we are clear. Do these clowns actually get government funding? Consider the source. Just like Ip Man, I support the other guys.

Linda Hepner kills baby eagles in Surrey

The Peacearch News is reporting that "The city is investigating after it had to remove a cottonwood tree in South Surrey that was home to one of the most noticeable eagle’s nests in Surrey." It was an active nest. A legacy of killing beavers, butterflies and baby peacocks just isn't good enough. Linda Hepner had to add killing baby eagles to her list of genocide before she leaves office. Without question, Surrey First has been Surrey's worst.

David Hancock from the Hancock Wildlife Foundation believes it was cut down on purpose and states that "the violation of the Wildlife Act under Section 34 has mitigation remedies not just of simple fines but offers up both Creative Fines Section 84 1-2 and Additional Fines Section 84.3 that allow recovery of any financial advantages gained though the violation of the Act."

On a side note, I attended a barbecue with my MLA Gary Begg yesterday in Surrey. I ran into Jinny Sims there. She said she knew me but I didn't recognize her. Turns out she is a NDP MLA for Surrey Panorama. She said she was in favor of the LRT put her hand up and walked away. Oh really? That means I do not support you. Is that your party position? Let's be clear.

She supports the LRT infrastructure nightmare along 104th avenue because she doesn't have to drive up and down that road every day like the rest of us who live in the area. I find it astounding and disheartening that an NDP MLA could even conceive of endorsing a road that goes right through an elementary school of marginalized kids. That is just plain wrong. This is what Laila Yuile referred to as the dark undertow within the NDP party. No different than the BC Liberals.

I met Imtiaz Popat there who is a candidate for the Surrey Community Alliance that has close ties to the NDP. An older man was giving him an earful about why he opposed the LRT along 104th and the road through Hawthorne Park. I jumped in and said that's because we live here. Imtiaz turned to me pointing to his ear and said he was listening. Since when does a politician listen? That's a novel thought. He did have a good idea though.

Imtiaz asked me if I had heard of the Interurban. At first I paused because I wasn't sure what he was referring to then said oh you mean that electric railway Vancouver used to have that was incredibly efficient but done away with by the oil companies? Tillers folly sang a song about that.

That's the one. Imtiaz said we should use those tracks which already exist. That's a thought. It would save a lot of money. Running LRT down 104th is just plain stupid and putting an elementary school of marginalized kids on a traffic island is just plain wrong.

17-year-old girl dies at Music Festival in Kelowna

Kelowna Cap News is reporting that "A 17-year-old Kamloops girl has died after falling into medical distress at the Centre of Gravity music festival Friday. Kelowna RCMP said in a statement Saturday that BC Coroners are investigating the sudden death of the teen. At about 9:30 p.m., Kelowna RCMP responded to the 1600 block of Abbott Street to support the BC Ambulance Service who had responded to the medical emergency. The girl was rushed to hospital, where she died. Interior Health has issued a reminder to festival goers to be cautious if using drugs and to not mix substances.' Radio NL is reporting that it was an accidental overdose.

Casting shadows on the Horizon

When I was speaking at the Falun Gong rally outside the Art Gallery in Vancouver I quoted Lao Tsu who said "It is better to light one candle than curse all the darkness." I said although that was a true statement, sometimes when we light a candle it sheds light on the darkness and reveals it to the world. Sometimes we have to confront darkness by exposing it for what it really is.

On the other side of the Art Gallery I noticed the inscription on top of the building.



The incription reads, Placed Upon the Horizon (Casting Shadows).



I've passed by demonstrations at the Vancouver Art Gallery ever since I was a kid yet I've never really noticed that inscription before. As I was heading out on the freeway to go hiking and camping at Garibaldi Lake, the sun was behind me to my right. I could see my shadow riding my motorcycle with my backpack on. Notwithstanding the difficulties and the frustrations of the moment, I felt free. It causes me to reflect on the life we lead and the shadow we cast.

I find the complete destruction of the Main Stream Media overwhelming. The obsessive propaganda desperately trying to control public opinion has become absurd. Since I am such an advocate of the freedom of the press I find it very disheartening.

Last month they told us that LRT in Surrey was a done deal and speaking out in opposition to it was a complete waste of time. Yet now that we have all witnessed the public meltdown of Surrey First and Doug McCallum's pledge, it looks like Surrey LRT is dead in the water. Who would have thought such a miraculous transformation was possible in such a short time?

Yet on the front page of this weeks Surrey Now Leader is an offensively obscene piece of propaganda trying to sell the infrastructure nightmare along 104th Avenue putting an elementary school of marginalized kids on a traffic island. That is just plain wrong and the Post Media Propaganda is obscene.

Post Media News is a cheap tabloid of corporate trash that isn't worth lining the bottom of a bird cage with. This isn't a battle of the bands. This is a heartfelt mourning over the loss of something very sacred. I'm at the point where I'm ready to put a sign on my door and say please don't deliver this free newspaper here any more but that is exactly what they want. They want to destroy the market so they can have complete control over it. Basically they already do.

We need to balance the extremes and see through the absurd propaganda for what it really is.

The question we need to ask ourselves is what kind of shadow will we cast on the horizon? What kind of life will we lead and what kind of mark on society will we leave behind. Like it or not we all leave footprints. Whether they be positive or negative will depend upon our choices and our actions because actions speak louder than words. Cheers.

Bacchus becomes criminal organization in Nova Scotia

CBC is reporting that "A Nova Scotia judge has declared the Bacchus Motorcycle Club a 'criminal organization,' the first time the Criminal Code designation has been used against an outlaw biker gang in the province. The group, which has links to the Hells Angels, is the largest motorcycle gang in the province. The designation now means prosecutors can try to seek stiffer sentences for Bacchus members who commit serious crimes to benefit the club."
