[YammyMonkey]

We have had to change the location for ECQC to Windsor, CO. The information on the flyer now available on the DRT site has the correct meet up location. There will also be a $10/day range fee, payable to the landowner. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

Craig will be back out for PUC & ECQC June 7-9. The whole package is $450. There is also a $10/day range fee that applies to ECQC as well as PrECQ. If you or someone you know just wants to take the PUC portion on Friday night the standalone rate is $100.

The focus of this class is learning how to deal with a criminal assault from start to finish. Everything from avoidance to entangled gunfighting is covered. This is the class for those who are interested in learning how to integrate their skillsets and become functional across a broad range of scenarios.

Full descriptions and locations are listed below:

Extreme Close Quarter Concepts:

The ShivWorks Extreme Close Quarter Concepts (ECQC) course is a two and a half day (20 hours) 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 marking cartridges and protective equipment.
