Shivworks:
Managing Unknown Contacts
A strategy to keep it from getting physical
Managing Unknown Contacts is the best strategy for maintaining slightly more distance than the social norm without being “weird.”
You will learn three adaptations to how you speak, how you move, and what to do with your hands to keep it from turning into a horizontal entangled mess on the ground.
MUC represents a body of work and lessons learned during Craig’s 21-year law enforcement career and 23 years instructing under the brand Shivworks. In an undercover capacity, he was robbed 9 times. Some of those experiences turned out good, and some did not. But it gave him a unique view into the criminal world and how to navigate it successfully.

Extreme Close Quarters Concepts: Retention Development
Learn the best practices for Live-Fire retention shooting in crowded, confined spaces, and, as importantly, how to train. Expand sections for free previews.
ECQC is 22 year body of work developed by Craig Douglas providing a cogent reductive, congruent, and binary system to prepare you for what could be the worst day of your life. The coursework is as much a period of instruction as it is an experience. Experience in the real world is expensive, one bad experience could cost your life or someone else.
This online block takes you through the live ECQC class as if you were there, plus adds some additional information not provided during the in-person course. You will receive the live fire component of ECQC: the why and, as importantly, how to do it and train it.
