Friday, 1800 to 2200hrs
In Extremis Knife
The ShivWorks In-Extremis Knife course is a 4 hour block of
instruction which focuses on a non-stylized method that will
work with any edged weapon or any improvised weapon as well.
The course places the knife or improvised implement within
the usage context of realistic criminal assault and provides
a simple decision making process for access and application.
A heavy emphasis is placed upon disparate confrontations
where the defender lacks proportional armament and equal
initiative. Pre-fight and In-fight tactics to dissuade,
break and recover from violent, criminal assault are
practically bridged into tool access and the specifics of
edged weapon application.
Topics and curriculum
. Parameters of criminal assault
. Awareness and distraction
. Challenging the potential attacker
. Preemptive blade access
. Deceptive kinesics
. Default position
. Basic empty hand tools and the F.U.T.
. Theory of in-fight weapon access
. Convulsive draw-stroke and edge orientation
. Angles and application
. Clearing the impeded line
. The pakal jab
. Applying the skill-set to improvised weapons
Cost:$75.00
Length: 4 hours
Equipment required for the class is a cup and mouthpiece.
Students are encouraged to bring their own knives &
trainers.
Saturday & Sunday, 0800 to 1700hrs each day
Extreme Close Quarters Concepts 1 & 2
Course Description: The ShivWorks Extreme Close Quarter
Concepts (ECQC) course is a one or two day 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
Simunitions and protective equipment.
Topics:
Day One
Diagnostics
Introduction to the components of the Combative Drawstroke
Building the #2 position in live-fire
Firing throughout the horizontal line of presentation
Off-hand fending positions
Default position
Basic empty hand blows
Theory of in-fight weapon access
Grounded basics
Day Two
Challenging the potential attacker
Preemptive weapon access
Muzzle aversion within draw-stroke
Negotiating the F.U.T.
ECQ Handgun retention in holster
ECQ handgun retention out of holster
Handgun recovery
Handgun striking
Cost: $300
Length: eight hours per day
Prerequisites: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 Simunition marking cartridges and
FIST helmets, to allow the students to gain confidence in
applying their newly acquired skills against moving
aggressive opponents.
Required Equipment: Holster, pistol, two magazines, eye &
ear protection, heavy sweatshirt or soft body armor,
mouthpiece and cup, 1000 rounds of ammo.
