OVERVIEW:

Level One CQS will provide the hard empty hand skills, hard and soft intermediate weapons skills that form the basis for personal safety/self defense.  

This course was created to deal with the very serious subject of facing an apparent deadly force threat without access to equal or superior weapons, either because you didn’t bring your pistol to the knife fight or (more likely) because the threat appeared so quickly and in such close proximity that your weapons, if any, could not be accessed. 

While there are no physical conditioning requirements for this course, you should be prepared to exert yourself for a solid day, perhaps learning your current physical limitations and making plans to overcome them or learning how to work around them.

You will learn and practice the use of Attack Avoidance; Blocks and Strikes; use of the Baton/blunt instrument Safe Firearms Take-Away techniques; Distraction Techniques and other associated techniques of self defense.  Perhaps the most important of all, the Four Levels of Mental Awareness will be explored as well.  Most significantly, you will learn lethal empty hands techniques that require the same attention to necessity as the use of lethal weapons.
