Extreme Close Quarter Concepts I and II (ECQC I-II)

March 6-8, 2009 in Culpeper, VA

The ShivWorks Extreme Close Quarter Concepts I & II (ECQC 1&2) course is a 20 hour
block of instruction which focuses on a multi-disciplinary approach to
building functional, combative handgun skills at zero to five feet. The course is
designed to instill core concepts of seamless integration and provide the platform
for aggressive problem solving during a life or death struggle. A heavy emphasis
is placed upon commonality of body mechanics between skill sub-sets, which
means that all combative software is reinforcing. Once the student’s skill sets are
initially ingrained, the participant will be stress inoculated with force on force drills
utilizing man-marking cartridges and protective equipment.

Topics covered include:

Block One

• Diagnostics
• Introduction to the components of the Combative Drawstroke
• Building the pectoral index in live-fire
• Firing throughout the horizontal line of presentation

This class is not recommended for beginning shooters and prior documented
training or instructor approval is required. Students should be relatively
fit as this is a contact class. Most of the latter half of each day will be
spent utilizing man marking cartridges and FIST helmets, to allow the students
to gain confidence in applying their newly acquired skills against moving
aggressive opponents.

SouthNarc is coming to Virginia! If you openly carry a handgun, this is an excellent course for you. You will learn how to manage unknown contacts to possibly end the encounter early. Additionally, many people are trained to go into the "interview" stance with the gun away from the unknown person. SouthNarc goes into extensive detail on how this position makes you vulnerable to being knocked down and how to avoid this. Retention skills are also taught--a MUST HAVE for if you carry a gun. You will learn some very effective techniques in this course.

Once you have the initial fighting with a pistol course ECQC is a must have. If you get lucky you'll catch an oddball snowstorm on the 2nd day that keeps you off the range & on the mats all day long. I'll go so far as to say that if you can only take one course this year ECQC should be it.
