What if I have never trained?

The actual test of a course is how much impact it has on a person completely unfamiliar with the content. Anyone at any level who attends a Shivworks course will leave a more capable and prepared person. Each course is a block of instruction and as much an experience designed to provide value to the day-one person and the seasoned combat athlete. There is no ego, nothing to prove, and no one wears a cape. When you train in a real-world scenario, everyone, EVERYONE, looks basically the same. 

Extremes Close Quarters Concepts

Extreme Close Quarter Concepts is a two-and-a-half-day (20-hour) block of instruction that offers a multi-disciplinary approach to building functional, combative handgun skills at zero to five feet. The course is designed to instill core concepts to avoid, stabilize, and resolve a problem at arm’s length or closer.
