CQB- Intro + Fundamentals

Now standardized into a 2-Day overnight training event, this Intro to Close Quarter Combat (CQB) Course focuses on home defense, and single person clearing techniques.  You will learn how to apply the fundamentals and tactics taught in a close range environment.  

This course was designed to teach students the necessary skills to “up” their survivability in a CQB environment. You will be learning how to make your home a hard target, utilizing deliberate clearing methods, and learning how to deal with threats specific to the environment you may find yourself in.

We will also thoroughly cover the principles of CQB, & fundamentals of basic room entry within an actual home. You must have a firm understanding of these fundamentals and tactics in order to build a solid foundation for more advanced training.  Your footwork, body movement, generating shooting solutions on the move, and establishing dominance through speed, surprise & violence of action is the core of CQB.

NOTE: The training, tactics, & skills learned on the first day of class will be tested on a flat range to allow shooters to focus on the individual tasks in a building block methodology through live fire drills.
