Hey everyone,
We are hosting SouthNarc @ the Impactzone range in Houston (actually NE of H-town, near Hempstead) next month. You can e-mail me glockfan AT comcast.net; with any questions about deposits or hotel arrangements.

Practical Unarmed Combat
Core Concepts Module
The ShivWorks Practical Unarmed Combat core concepts module is a 4
hour fundamental block of instruction that introduces the student to the
parameters and context of criminal assault. The student will learn how criminals
actually assault citizens in the real world and will initially focus on strategies and
tactics for challenging and preempting the potential assailant. The instruction will
then shift to immediate action procedures for spontaneous assault and how to
regain initiative with non-stylized basic tools.
Curriculum and topics covered:
Parameters and objectives of criminal assault
Awareness and task fixation
Kinesic and verbal challenge strategies for the potential assailant
Recognizing pre-assault cues
Hard focus scan procedures
Preemptive striking
Default position
Basic blows and regaining initiative
Equipment required for the class is a cup and mouthpiece. Course cost is $100.00
ShivWorks
Extreme Close Quarter Concepts I and II (ECQC I-II)
The ShivWorks Extreme Close Quarter Concepts I & II (ECQC 1&2) course is a 20 hour 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 students skill sets are
initially ingrained, the participant will be stress inoculated with force on force drills
utilizing man-marking cartridges and protective equipment.
Topics covered include:
Block One
Diagnostics
Introduction to the components of the Combative Drawstroke
Building the pectoral index in live-fire
Firing throughout the horizontal line of presentation
Off-hand fending positions
Default position
Basic empty hand blows
Theory of in-fight weapon access
Grounded basics
Block Two
Challenging the potential attacker
Preemptive weapon access
Muzzle aversion within draw-stroke
Negotiating the F.U.T.
ECQ Handgun retention in holster
ECQ handgun retention out of holster
Handgun recovery
Handgun striking
Equipment required
Holster, pistol, two magazines, eye & ear protection, heavy sweatshirt or soft
body armor, mouthpiece and cup, 500 rounds of ammo.
Course cost is $400.
This class is not recommended for beginning
shooters and prior documented training or instructor approval is required.
Students should be relatively fit as this is a contact class. Most of the latter half
of each day will be spent utilizing man marking cartridges and FIST
helmets, to allow the students to gain confidence in applying their newly acquired
skills against moving aggressive opponents.

(When I took it, I got to witness the epic, armed fight between MB and Rusty. It was epic to say the least.)
