Close Quarters Combat

Close Quarters Combat (CQC) refers to fighting or self-defense techniques used at very short range, typically within arm’s reach. It involves a combination of striking, grappling, and weapon defenses designed to quickly neutralize an attacker when space is limited. CQC emphasizes efficient, practical methods to control or disable an opponent, often used by military, law enforcement, or security personnel. It focuses on controlling movement, instinctive responses, and rapid decision-making to ensure safety and effectiveness in high-pressure, confined environments.
