TACTICAL CLINCH

Course Description

This course addresses extreme-close-quarter situations where you and a subject have hold of one another in a physical struggle for control, positions that are commonly referred to as clinches. We will be addressing the pros and cons involved with common “clinch” techniques taught in combat sports, and how to modify these techniques to make them appropriate to self-defense in potentially weapons-based environments. This applies to law enforcement, military, security personnel, and self-defense enthusiasts.

This course includes at a minimum:

– Why we prioritize Outside Line in the clinch, and management of both Inside Line and Outside Line positions.

– Footwork, angles, safe approach, and contact with subjects both cooperative and aggressive.

– Takedowns to Control and Custody from clinch positions.

– Strikes, checks, and distraction techniques from the clinch.

-Weapon access and transitions from the clinch.

-Weapon defenses from the clinch.

CLOSE QUARTERS – FIREARMS INTEGRATION TACTICS

Course Description

Statistically, around 70% of defensive shootings happen between arms-reach and 10ft. The Close-Quarters Firearms Integration Tactics program (CQ-FIT) focuses on surviving lethal force encounters within these extremely close ranges, to include firearms and edged-weapon based assaults. To increase the probability of survival at these ranges, we train a full integration of empty-hand fighting, firearms, edged and impact weaponry.

This will be a NON-Live Fire training day to hone and refine CQ-FIT Tactics
