Extreme Close Quarter Concepts (ECQC) - Onalaska, WA
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.
ShivWorks courses are an investment – not only for the students, but also for the hosts and the trainers. Each class requires months of administrative and logistical planning. Courses often sell out early, and unexpected cancellations can be very problematic. Therefore, we have a very strict refund policy that applies to all classes. Please be sure you understand the policy before enrolling in a class. If you have enrolled in a class and later find that you cannot make it, please contact us immediately.
More than 30 Days Before Class
If a student cancels more than 30 days before a class, that student’s tuition will be refunded in full.
30 Days Before Class
If a student cancels anywhere between eight and thirty days before class, that student’s tuition is not refundable. However, the tuition can be applied to another ShivWorks class. This tuition credit must be used within 18 months of the date of the original class, or it is forfeited.

Relevant Feedback
This is an amazing course! You learn practical, effective and useful techniques for potentially the “worst day of your life”, while not getting fed a bunch of shit that may look sexy or sound sexy but instead is counter productive or will get you killed! Craig is an incredible human being, as well as the men and women he keeps around himself. Craig and his AI’s really know their stuff, they run an extremely safe range while still keeping things super light and enjoyable. There is a high level of intensity but paired with laughter and humor throughout the course!
I would highly recommend this course for the most novice all the way up to the most experienced professionals, everyone WILL take away a lot from Craig’s course! I will be going back and taking more of the Shivworks courses in the future! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I spend a good bit of coin each year on training. Both local, and national trainers. I can not think of better instruction, by better Cadre. The location was great, and my fellow students were motivated. Definitely will be back to sharpen the edge.
Brian and Craig are very personable. They educate in a clear concise manner that applies to real-world scenarios. They are well worth the money if you are on a budget but still need to train. I enjoyed the entire class even though it was sometimes raining and uncomfortable. Thank you both for your expertise and for breaking down the material in a way that makes sense and is easy to learn.
In 18 plus years of working in the law enforcement profession I have never taken a better class. The ECQC curriculum content, developmental drills, course structure, and instructor ability are truly second to none. The course subject matter focuses on a very unique set of challenges and skill needs that very few (if any) other industry classes address in a realistic manner. Craig and Brian apply their hard-earned years of experience and expertise to help provide students with practical and effective skills to manage the types of thorny self-defense challenges that are commonly overlooked in most training programs despite the frequency with which they manifest in the real world.
The class is focused, organized, and managed flawlessly. If you enroll in ECQC, you should rest assured that you will receive tremendous “bang for your buck” and will finish the three days with some immediately applicable new skills and many keen new insights into the problems of close range self defense. I cannot recommend this class more highly and am already looking forward to my next Shivworks training experience. Thank you, Craig and Brian!
