ShivWorks Extreme Close Quarter Concepts (ECQC)
The ShivWorks Extreme Close Quarter Concepts (ECQC) course is a
two-day 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 students skill sets are
initially ingrained, the participant will be stress inoculated with force on force drills
utilizing Simunitions and protective equipment.
Topics and curriculum include:
Day One
Diagnostics
Introduction to the components of the Combative Drawstroke
Building the #2 position 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
Day 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, 200 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 Simunition marking cartridges and FIST helmets, to allow the students to gain confidence in applying their newly acquired skills against moving
aggressive opponents.
ShivWorks In-Extremis Knife Course (IEK)
The ShivWorks In-Extremis Knife course is a 5-hour block of instruction
which focuses on a non-stylized method that will work with any edged weapon or
any improvised weapon as well. The course places the knife or improvised
implement within the usage context of realistic criminal assault and provides a
simple decision making process for access and application. A heavy emphasis is
placed upon disparate confrontations where the defender lacks proportional
armament and equal initiative. Pre-fight and In-fight tactics to dissuade, break
and recover from violent, criminal assault are practically bridged into tool access
and the specifics of edged weapon application.
Topics and curriculum include:
Parameters of criminal assault
Awareness and distraction
Challenging the potential attacker
Preemptive blade access
Deceptive kinesics
Default position
Basic empty hand tools and the F.U.T.
Theory of in-fight weapon access
Convulsive draw-stroke and edge orientation
Angles and application
Clearing the impeded line
The pakal jab
Applying the skill-set to improvised weapons

If you haven't taken these classes you need to. If you have taken them, you need to take them again. ECQC is one of the two classes on my "I can only take one class this year, what's it going to be?" list.
Do the work.
I just contacted Chris today, and he said this class might not be a go because not enough people have signed up. C'mon guys. Maybe I'm being selfish (because I'd like to take this class), but let's do this. I've heard nothing but great things about ECQC and I want this to happen. I took AMIS last summer and it was fantastic training. Who's with me?
If you have the chance to take this class & don't you are wrong.
I took this course a couple years ago. Excellent course and like Yammy says, if you can only train once a year, take this course.
Need a few more guys to make this happen. If you guys are on the fence, jump off and come attend one of the best courses available to gun carrying citizens on the market today.
