Advanced CQSD Course
Close Quarters Self Defense
Welcome!
I designed this extensive and intense 1 day course to provide you with the tools to become a safer, more responsible, and more proficient self defense handgun shooter. Proper presentation (drawing) techniques as well as advanced self defense shooting techniques are taught and practiced in both dry and live fire!
Did you know that in a self defense encounter that you loose ALL fine motor skills, leaving you with only your gross motor skills? Gross motor skills can only be developed through rigourous and "perfect" dry fire and live fire practice to ingrain PROPER skills into muscle memory thus making them instictive in a self defense encounter. Did you know that an attacker with a knife coming toward you from a distance of 7 yards (21 feet) can cover that distance and stab you in 1.5 seconds or less? Have you learned and perfected the proper skills to make you a faster and more accurate self defense shooter?
I designed this course for those who understand the need to be as prepared as possible for a violent self defense encounter!
The course curriculum was derived from ALL of my training as a NRA Certified Personal Protection Instructor, from the factory Glock Handgun Instructors Workshop (law enforcement techniques), firearms training I received as a law enforcement officer, as well as 13 years of law enforcement experience.
Many of the techniques taught in this course are currently used in the training of law enforcement officers!
Learning, practicing and perfecting the skills taught in this course will dramatically increase your chance of survival in a violent encounter! I hope to see you in a future course.
Sincerely,
Jim Johnson
