ShivWorks Close Quarters Class, Bastrop, Dec. 4-6

[fm2]

I am excited to announce that SouthNarc will be holding his excellent Extreme Close Quarter Concepts class on December 4-6.We are working out the final details. But, the dates are solid, so put in for time off.


December 4 is the PUC class, usually 5 PM- 9 PM.

PUC
The ShivWorks Practical Unarmed Combat core concepts module is a 4
hour fundamental block of instruction that introduces the student to the
parameters and context of criminal assault. The student will learn how criminals
actually assault citizens in the real world and will initially focus on strategies and
tactics for challenging and preempting the potential assailant. The instruction will
then shift to immediate action procedures for spontaneous assault and how to
regain initiative with non-stylized basic tools.

Curriculum and topics covered
· Parameters and objectives of criminal assault
· Awareness and task fixation
· Kinesic and verbal challenge strategies for the potential assailant
· Recognizing pre-assault cues
· Hard focus scan procedures
· Preemptive striking
· Default position
· Basic blows and regaining initiative
Equipment required for the class is a cup and mouthpiece. Students are
encouraged to bring their own focus mitts or Thai pads.

Dec. 5-6 is the ECQC class, usually 8AM - 5PM.




ShivWorks Extreme Close Quarter Concepts I and II (ECQC I-II)

The ShivWorks Extreme Close Quarter Concepts I & II (ECQC 1&2) course is a 20 hour 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 man-marking cartridges and protective equipment.

Topics covered include:
Block One
• Diagnostics
• Introduction to the components of the Combative Drawstroke
• Building the pectoral index 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
Block 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 or soft
body armor, mouthpiece and cup, 500 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 man marking cartridges and FIST
helmets, to allow the students to gain confidence in applying their newly acquired
skills against moving aggressive opponents.

How many magazines and how much ammo is needed for this course?

Sorry for the delay, folks

PUC alone is 100.00 The managing unknown contacts, aka: MUC, is the most used material learned over the weekend. The concepts are introduced and worked on Fri. and revisited and refined during ECQC. The PUC class can be taken as a stand alone class. This is an open class to Men or Women, there's no previous martial arts experience needed, not as aerobic as ECQC class, and many concepts introduced, discussed and practiced with role players or drilled on punching mitts.


ECQC course is 400.00. If you take ECQC you must also take the PUC class. There is a price break, all three for $450.00. The reason for the requirement is to prime the students and get them up to speed quickly for the ECQC course work.


Karl- Sorry for the slow reply. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

Tateb24- 2 magazines, but bring more if you have them. The rounds needed is 500-600 rounds. If you are running a Glock 17,19 or 34, I'll have a few loaners.

I just found out we'll have a range car, so we can work on some car evolutions on Sat. or Sun.
