Close Quarters Combat

Close quarters combat (CQC) is a tactical concept that involves a physical confrontation between two groups. It often refers to engagements between military units or law enforcement and criminals. Traditionally, in warfare, CQC consists of small units or teams who engage the enemy using small arms and hand-to-hand fighting techniques at short range. In many scenarios, the attacker will attempt a very fast and violent takeover of a vehicle, structure or location. In the event that you are called upon to protect your home, family, or business from an attack, firearms proficiency and basic fighting skills may not be sufficient.   You will need tactical skills to confront your attacker. In this case, seeking training in modern CQC tactics will provided you with the skills you need to prevail.
