ECQC 3 and 4 in Atanta
Cost $400
Course Description: The ShivWorks Extreme Close Quarter Concepts (ECQC) 3/4 course is a twenty hour block of instruction which builds upon the fundamentals learned in ECQC 1/2. This intermediate course is focused upon tasking the student’s multidisciplinary platform harder than ever by adding multiple opponents armed with handguns. All students will problem solve from an extreme initiative deficit. Particular attention will be given to the timing variable of a secondary hostile and the subsequent decision making based upon the distance envelope. Though not required, it’s highly recommended that the student have completed ECQC 1/2 twice.

Day One (four hours)
• Review of Managing Unknown Contacts
• Review of Default Position and Short Elbow System
