Close Quarters Combatives (Hand-to-hand)

Service Description

Developed from an unparalleled career in global security – as an Army Ranger, Task Force Omega Operator, CIA Officer, and certified Modern Army Combatives Instructor – this course provides rare and vital insights into effectively managing close-range encounters. The Applied Close Quarters Combatives (ACQC) program is about empowering you with the skills for decisive action when it matters most. This isn't theoretical; it's hands-on training for those moments when space collapses, a weapon may be inaccessible, or a threat is immediate and personal. It teaches you how to effectively use your body, mind, and environment as your most immediate tools for personal safety and defense. This intensive program distills decades of real-world, high-stakes experience into practical, retention-based techniques designed for immediate application under pressure. You will learn to: Identify & Preempt Threats: Sharpen your awareness to recognize danger signs and manage proximity before a situation escalates. Effective Close-Range Engagement: Master essential combative principles for striking, grappling, and controlling an aggressor, adapted for real-world scenarios, not just the training mat. Problem-Solving Under Duress: Develop rapid, practical methods for neutralizing immediate threats and creating safe space. Integrated Defensive Strategies: Understand how to maintain control in challenging positions, utilize basic weapon retention principles, and transition effectively to other tools when appropriate. Cultivating a Resilient Mindset: Develop the mental fortitude and controlled assertiveness needed to respond effectively and survive challenging encounters. Whether you are a responsible civilian seeking advanced self-protection, a security professional, or law enforcement/military personnel aiming to sharpen your close-quarters capabilities, ACQC provides the critical skills derived from direct, practical experience. This course isn't just about techniques; it's about building confidence, capability, and the mindset to prevail in any close-quarters scenario.
