The Integration Problem

Close Contact Does Not Stay In One Category

An encounter can move from communication to contact, from standing to a wall, from a wall to the ground, or from empty hand control to weapon protection in seconds. Separate techniques are not enough.

Close Quarter Combatives builds a connected operating system for protection, movement, pressure, control, recovery, and responsible decision making.

Standard 01

Protect

Maintain awareness, posture, balance, vital areas, equipment, and the people inside the mission.

Standard 02

Position

Use movement, connection, pressure, angles, and the environment to improve the problem.

Standard 03

Resolve

Disengage, control, escape, restrain, access support, or transition tools as conditions require.
