What Is CQC?
CQC is a modern blended martial art system; designed to deal with modern attackers. CQC is built on principles and concepts instead of techniques. We use simple methodologies and body mechanics to overcome attackers instead of brute force. All of our techniques follow the E.A.T.T. formula. E.A.T.T. stands for evade, attack, take balance, and takedown. CQC’s roots come from warfare arts such as Kali and Silat combined with Chinese styles such as Wing Chun and Bagua. Elements of military combative arts such as Krav Maga have been added as well. C.Q.C. is simple and straightforward so anybody can learn to defend themselves using the system.
