Extreme Close Quarter Concepts (ECQC) course is the flagship Shivworks Course and takes place over 2.5 days with a total of 24 training hours. Instruction is given on functional handgun skills from zero to five feet, a unique problem requiring an interdisciplinary approach. Provided is a template for what we feel are the best practices between verbal and physical skills to avoid, stabilize, and resolve a life-threatening situation within the context of the criminal assault paradigm while armed. After developing new skills, everyone validates the skills through an unscripted evolution. Evolutions are competitive, non-consensual force-on-force experiences using marking cartridges and protective equipment.

You do not need any martial arts or combative experience to attend this course. You only need the ability to safely deploy your handgun from the holster.

**The first four hours of day two and three are live fire training. You can train from concealment or overtly outside the waistband; neither choice will impact the quality of your training experience. You must be able to safely and competently deploy/shoot/manipulate your firearm. This is not a pistol 101 course, and a lack of basic weapons handling skills will result in you being asked to step off the firing line. **

Please bring the following items with you to class:

• Quality holster
• Handgun, 220 rounds of ammunition
• Safety glass, ear protection
• Comfortable clothes
• Mouthpiece and cup
• Preferred carry knives
• Trainer knives (if you have them)
• *Sig P320s are not allowed during this course.

All times are local for the training location.

There is a $75 range fee for the weekend, due in cash on Friday evening. Please have that ready to remit before we start class.
