This custom hybrid class, designed by the request of the hosts, will cover combined elements and skillsets from two of our fundamental courses, “Fight Hacker: Escapeology” and “Shooter/Fighter Matrix-1”, integrating essential concepts of close quarters/clinch combatives and close range handgun deployment/utilization.

This class will take you where nobody wants to go- into the moments of the gunfight, where if you were watching someone else in such a situation- most likely you’d quietly say “he’s f@&$ed”…

Discovery and development of fundamental attributes needed to perform from the disadvantaged positions against the armed opposition is the main theme of this class.

Forward Training Concepts “Fight Hacker: Escapeology” (FH-1) is a two day (16-hour) instructional class focused on understanding, actualizing, and building functional principles, concepts, and skills of purposeful movement – both unarmed and armed applications while progressing from disadvantageous position/situation to dominating the fight.

Concepts and skills of movement, workspace, structure and gap management are paired with understanding of biomechanics and offensive blade work. These are geared to start building robust, pressure tested abilities to survive initial contact and create opportunities for proactive work, weapon deployment or disengagement.

The basic functions without fundamental principles, the “what” without the “why”- they are nothing more than memorized to one degree or another “things to do”, when very specific issues occur in the fast-moving chaos of the fight. The problem is- those things seldom occur exactly as they do in a controlled training environment.
