ShivWorks
In Extremis Knife
The ShivWorks In Extremis Knife (IEK) is a 4 hour fundamental block of instruction which focuses on a non-stylized method that will work with any edged or improvised weapon.
Curriculum and topics covered
•Parameters and objectives of criminal assault
•Challenging the potential attacker
•Theory of in-fight weapon access
•The Pakal Jab
•Preemptive blade access
•Applying the skillset to improvised weapons
ShivWorks
Extreme Close Quarter Concepts (ECQC)
The ShivWorks Extreme Close Quarter Concepts (ECQC) course is a 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 covered include:
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
Equipment required
Holster, pistol, two magazines, eye & ear protection, heavy sweatshirt, mouthpiece and cup, 200 rounds of ammo.
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.
If you want to take just IEK you can, the cost is $95. The full IEK & ECQC 1 & 2 is $400. If you’ve already taken Practical Unarmed Combatives or IEK the cost for ECQC as a stand alone is $345. The pre-registration is 1/2 the class fee. You must have either IEK or PUC under your belt to take ECQC. IEK starts at 5:00pm on Friday the 29th.
If you do a search around here for ECQC or SouthNarc you'll find a lot of good info on these courses.
Shoot me an email at yammymonkey at aim dot com (replace the "at" with @ & "dot" with . & take out the spaces) & I will forward you the registration forms for this class. We have 30 slots for IEK & 20 for ECQC.
ETA: The classes will be held in Elizabeth, CO.
