CLOSE QUARTERS FOR RESPONIBLE CITIZENS (CQB/CQC)
It seems that everyone wants to learn Close Quarters Battle (CQB) because of movies, Instagram, etc. The truth is, that fighting an armed opponent in close quarters is extremely dangerous. That is why it’s vital that you don’t do CQB for the first time when you are in a real fight.
Understanding and applying some basic CQB fundamentals can drastically improve your odds. Further, having another person, or even a small team with you who also understand those fundamentals, can exponentially increase the chances of success.
This 2-day course will teach you the same fundamentals taught to special forces operators, including both deliberate and dynamic CQB techniques.
Responsible citizens and armed professionals that want to improve their survivability in a home invasion or active killer scenario should take this class.
- Close quarters fundamental including maximizing cover and concealment.
- Handling open and closed doors.
- Corner and center fed room techniques.
- Hallway, intersection, and T-intersection techniques.
- Stairwell techniques.
- Single man tactics and techniques
- Team tactics, techniques and communication (Two- and four-man teams)
- Downed shooter procedure.
Note:
