Basic Defensive CQB 26JUL25

Modern conflicts are fought and won in and around urban environments. If a private citizen must conduct armed self defense, it will invariably be within the urban environment, such as in and around cars, parking lots, homes, offices, or local businesses. In this tactical training module you will practice the movement, safety, and problem solving aspects of single person and partner defensive combat within buildings or tight urban confines. You will practice with live ammunition inside our shoot house, both in the day and in the dark.  

This class is part of the Combat Rifle School. We schedule small group instruction based upon the your request. This program consists of the following 48 unique five hour modules, plus additional practical and field exercises.
