VGS will be hosting our close quarters clearance (CQC) 1 fundamentals class at the Aurora Sportsman’s Club October 21st from 9am-3pm. CQC is often associated with military and law enforcement training but is just as applicable for civilians who want to learn how to defend themselves or their families from a home invasion. In CQC 1 students will learn the fundamental elements of moving tactically in and around rooms and spaces that contain an active threat from SEALs who have experienced it in combat. This instruction will involve an in depth classroom portion with power power point slides and videos. VGS instructors will give examples of real world combat missions that changed the CQC tactics that the SEAL teams formerly used to what they use today and how these tactics translate over to civilians defending themselves in their homes. After the classroom portion students will apply these these tactics individually performing 1 person clearance and then 2 person  clearance. During the practicals students will use UTM paint ammunition and will be given various scenarios to clear rooms that contain paper targets.

Cost = $250.00 for Registration. Bring $60 Cash for UTM Ammo Purchase as well
