Additional information: The curriculum for this course has changed from the older AT-5 lesson plan. The new version focuses more on integration of unarmed and knife skills, and is intended to be a lower intensity, introductory version of the material taught in the Extreme Close Quarters Class taught by Craig Douglas. We will be hosting ECQC again in 2017. This will be an excellent course to learn about this type of training, as well as a review/refresher for graduates of previous ECQC courses.
