CLOSE QUARTERS DEFENSE
95% of attacks happen inside one car length. Verbal de-escalation, striking, weapon retention, and how to disarm an attacker up close.
What Level 6 does for you
Most attacks start inside one car length, well within the distance where a gun is quick to bring up. This class trains the range where a fight turns physical: de-escalation first, then striking and balance-breaking, retention so your gun stays yours, and how to use whatever else is within reach.
1The distance that actually happens
One car length or less in the large majority of attacks, inside the range where a draw is hard to finish in time.
2Verbal de-escalation
Words, tone and body language first, because most encounters can still end without anyone being touched.
3Striking techniques
Palms, elbows and knees that create the space and the seconds you need to get to your gun or get away.
4Takedowns
Breaking balance and controlling the fall, so you are not fighting from the ground.
5Weapon retention and defense
Keeping your firearm yours in a grapple, and what to do when a weapon is pointed at you.
6Using other tools
Where a flashlight, a blade, a chemical spray or the room around you fits, and what the law expects of you.
