ECQB - Extrem Close Quarter Battle

Course description

The training goal is to survive the confrontation in an ECQB SITUATION

The seminar participants learn how to react effectively in the sometimes confusing, extreme near distance. They use all available weapons, items and tools needed to eliminate the opponent.
In an ECQB position you are often without any weapons, so we also show the seminar participants  possible punches, kicks, choking and biting techniques.

It is very helpful to master the handling of the combat knife. The seminar will train easy-to-learn but highly effective cuts, punches and punching techniques.

The HRT universal knife combat includes simple techniques that are also very effective with various other items such as :

Kubotan related items, a feldspar, an ax - a tomahawk, a machete, a flashlight, handy iron bars or wooden sticks, sturdy wooden sticks, glass bottles, a hammer, a screwdriver, pliers, sturdy pens, a keychain -  etc. It all can be applied.

The course also includes:
Extremely close quarter BASIC TACTICAL KNIFE - TOOL - FIGHT

Such as:
- MFSS / LEFSS - system tactics.
 
As SL (self loading) and repeaters are used in the tactical field, the seminar participant will be also trained on both systems in this seminar.
