Close Quarters Pistol/Rifle Integration
This one day course is taught by Jason Kelly, a multi-faceted Defensive Combatives Instructor with 25 years of training and 14 years of experience training and supporting law enforcement agencies, elite military units, and world class athletes including champion UFC fighters, and as a coach at the 2005 and 2006 Pan American Wrestling Championships. This challenging course is designed to teach combative skills in a gear and weapons based environment with a shooter's mindset. The material in the course teaches students high level, yet basic and easy to learn concepts, principles, theory and techniques. The course starts from the ground zero, building in a step by step process. As new or enhanced skills are developed, students are put in scenarios to test application of new material in dynamic environments. While most combatives programs are sports related due to the popularity of mixed martial arts, the Close Quarters Pistol/Rifle course is grounded in real-world situations and built upon needs and environments.
Defensive tactics/combatives are rarely practiced simultaneously with shooting, yet in In today's higher-threat environment, there is an increased chance for a volatile and potentially deadly encounter with armed attackers. "Life and death is in the gaps"; this course fills those gaps by teaching individuals how to combine combative skills with weapon manipulation and integration with fast and accurate shooting in a scenario-based training environment.
