Combatives for Gunmen

H2H4CCW is a hand to hand fighting curriculum designed for the civilian operator. We understand the need to bridge the gaps between our gun skills, knife study,  tactics, vehicle operation, medical training, and our daily needs to provide security for loved ones, etc. This class is an entry to the  'hands on' element of the equation. Often the case with traditional martial arts, being a practitioner is a  long term endeavor into a discipline that doesn't  always address all the possibilities of the street fight in the most efficient manor, or it is of a very complex nature requiring years of study to perfect. Although a fruitful path, it may not equip you for tonight! Alternatively, 'Self defense classes'  are often police based,overly liability reducing in nature, attempts to teach the student control and compliance techniques that are more suitable for handcuffing and  custody, than dealing with a drug crazed attacker on the hunt for what belongs to you . That is not the mission of the private citizen and tends to increase the danger level exponentially when attempted.

   H2H4CCW  was designed to arm the civilian operator in a relatively short duration with the knowledge and skills to deliver  immediate, debilitating injury to an aggressor(s) , thwarting the initial attack, and opening the gate to access weapons and facilitate opportunity to escape. It is not an  attemp at replacing years of dedication in the fighting arts- It is an effective first step in keeping you alive in an extremely focused crash course in violence, that draws on a broad base of practices, with out the 'not invented here' attitude so common in the various 'arts'.

Areas of study will include  situational awareness, controlling distance,  parasympathetic nervous system responses to stress in combat(fight/flight) and how it effects your  performance, managing and maintaining your ability to stay effective in the fight, and maximizing your potential as a warrior prior to the engagement. Skills focused on the standing grapple, chokes, and grabs, managing falls, fighting on the ground and regaining your feet will be explored in detail. Low line kicks and kneeing as well as elbow and hand strikes will be taught. Students will learn solid techniques to retain their own pistol and how to disarm the adversary of their weapon.  Alternative force measures, contact weapons, proactive applications (assailant/sentry removal), and hostage situations will be examined. Weapon access, breaking contact and withdrawing, as well as providing protection for those you are responsible for will be stressed throughout. Maintaining the skills over the long term, building onto your fighting platform, and solo training will be addressed.

  This is the eye gouging, joint crushing, spine compressing, material you need to keep you and yours safe in an often untamed world. You will be able to walk as a lion with the confidence in your hand to hand ability with this training.

Women, college students, and the 'seasoned' operator are encouraged to attend . (Consult with a medical doctor prior to engaging in this or any activity of a physical nature.) You and you alone will be your own 'measuring stick' and can progress through the material at a pace suitable.
