This course aims to provide participants with the knowledge and skills required to assess, avoid and/or protect themselves against a potential hostile situation. With the introduction of the Special Forces, during WWII a need for hand to hand combat were required. These techniques were utilised from many Martial Arts styles e.g. Tai Kwon Do, Karate, Judo. Jujitsu, and Akido combining what is now known as UNARMED COMBAT". CQC is sometimes regarded solely as a means of defence when fighting at close quarters. This belief is incorrect. The maxim that "attack is often the best means of defence" is definitely applicable to CQC as the advantage usually lies with them the attacker.
Training in CQC is aimed at instilling into the individual the idea that, even if she/he has been disarmed the fight is still not over, and a hopeless unarmed, defensive situation can be changed into an aggressive, attacking position with a good chance of success.
For what ever reason you were originally attracted to CQC you will discover training a dimensional experience, and as time goes by, you will become familiar with each of its facets. Close Quarter Combat consists of six training stages comprising of Elementary, Intermediate and Advance courses. CQC has a long history where size does not matter. A person who takes on CQC soon learns to be aggressive in a controlled way, acquiring self confidence and self-reliance.
