This week we are extremely excited to have Craig Douglas of Shivworks on the show. Craig is the father of the real life "Fight Club" with a gun or knife. His course work Extreme Close Quarters Concepts (ECQC) has changed the lives of countless people throughout the US and around the world. This show we discuss the details of the course and hit on the experience that the EvoSec crew had in the recent Olympia ECQC that they hosted 13-15 Sep 2019. ECQC typically enlightens the patron that there is so much more to a defensive use of a weapon then the weapon itself; fight avoidance, an inoculated mind (to violence), fitness and wrestling skills are likely far more important. This point is driven hard in this monumental interview. The crew also discuss the details of Craig's other flagship course Armed Movement inside Structures (AMIS). This class is a deep dive into one of the worst case scenarios in a self-defense, the solo movement and negotiation of a structure with the possibility of armed assailants inside said structure. In addition for those that know Craig, we go into some really interesting discussions have have likely never been aired before. Fore more details on Craig's course work and his class schedule please visit his website at www.shivworks.com/ Please visit our website for upcoming events, AARs and more at www.evosec.org/ Also please consider supporting us financially so that we can keep this podcast free.

ECQC After Action Review: This week the EvoSec crew does an AAR of the 13-15 Sep 2019 Olympia WA Extreme Close Quarters Concepts (ECQC) course with Craig Douglas. EvoSec hosted the event. If you are serious about self-defense, this course is a must, it is life saving and life changing. The ShivWorks Extreme Close Quarter Concepts (ECQC) course is a two-and-a-half-day (20-hour) block of instruction that offers a multi-disciplinary approach to building functional, combative handgun skills at zero to five feet. The course is designed to instill core concepts of seamless integration and provide the platform for aggressive problem solving during a life or death struggle at arm's length or closer. We emphasize the common body mechanics that apply across different skill sets. That way, all combative software is reinforcing. Once students' skill sets are ingrained, they will be stress inoculated with force-on-force drills using marking cartridges and protective equipment.

Modern semi-auto rifles are demonized by the mainstream but are they actually a viable defensive tool? We believe they are arguably the preferable defensive firearm. In this show we talk about a defensive use of an AR that took place just recently, no mention in the media of this case. We also hit a little on our preferred ammo for ARs. Lastly, Brian Schilt dives deep into the details of AR Pistols which have become the hottest new direction in ARs. Brian's expertise in building ARs as a former Class III manufacture is a must listen. Lastly Eric and Aaron Davis discuss their recent and current builds respectively.
