DESCRIPTION

Although Close Quarters Battle (CQB)is traditionally associated with military and law enforcement training, its core principles can help responsible civilians improve their home-defense planning, family communication, and emergency response strategies.

This foundational CQB course introduces students to the fundamentals of safely moving through confined spaces and residential structures. Through instructor demonstrations, dry practice, and low-risk drills using inert training aids, participants learn how to recognize hazards, limit unnecessary exposure, and make safer decisions under pressure.

This course is an excellent introduction to the required skills to successfully complete our full-day Home Defense Close Quarters Battle (CQB) course. 

MINIMUM ROUND COUNT – NONE- no shooting in this course.
