Extreme Close Quarter Concepts (ECQC)

The ShivWorks Extreme Close Quarter Concepts (ECQC) course is a two and a half day (20 hours) 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 marking cartridges and protective equipment.

Im really looking forward to this course

[Jay_Cunningham]

Too bad about you dropping out of this class, Shawn. I know for a fact that a lot of people were looking forward to you being there.

[Shawn.L]

Yeah , this class is still high on my list . But my inability to be two places at once and some of the pistol/knife stuff I spoke with Kyle about forced me to make a choice for that weekend .

I hope to hear all about it after class

To all enrolled students:

There has been unrelenting rain here in Pittsburgh and it doesn't look like it's going to let up any time soon. I don't think we have much of a choice - looks like we'll be getting wet and muddy. I wish we had a big indoor facility, but we just don't.

A change of clothes every day is going to make a lot of sense. I'm going to look into a few options that might help us out.
