Close Quarters Combat (CQC)

Close Quarters Combat (CQC) refers to combat situations involving physical confrontation at short range, typically within arm’s reach, where precision, technique, and quick decision-making are crucial. It encompasses a range of skills such as hand-to-hand fighting, weapon handling, and tactical movement used by military, law enforcement, and security personnel to incapacitate opponents efficiently in confined spaces. CQC emphasizes close-range maneuvering, leverage, and control to neutralize threats swiftly while minimizing risks to oneself. It requires training in safety, awareness, and effective technique to succeed in high-pressure, limited-space scenarios.
