Course description:

​

In real-world defensive encounters, threats often happen fast—at distances much closer than most people expect. These extreme close-quarter situations demand a unique skill set, making specialized training not just valuable, but essential.

​

When a threat is only feet away, traditional shooting techniques may not be enough. Speed, control, and precision become critical, leaving no room for hesitation or error. This course is designed to build the skills needed to operate effectively in these high-risk environments.

​

Students will learn techniques specifically tailored for close-contact engagements, including operating in confined spaces, drawing under pressure, and engaging threats at extreme proximity. Whether in a home defense situation or a crowded environment, you will develop the ability to react quickly and decisively.

​

Training in close quarters also builds confidence and adaptability—allowing you to maintain control when it matters most. Through realistic drills and scenario-based training, students will experience the stress and urgency of real-world encounters and learn to perform under pressure.

​

This course is not just about shooting—it’s about developing the mindset, discipline, and skill set required to prevail in life-threatening situations.
