The Close Quarter Fighting System teaches hard-core, real world self-defense techniques. This is not a martial art. The curriculum focuses on fundamental attacks and counters that work with devastating efficiency. The material is based on the close combat skills used by Allied Forces to achieve victory in the Second World War and material developed later by the most successful and efficient hand-to-hand military instructors in the world. The material designed to be mastered in a matter of weeks or months rather than years. The course is instructed by Kirk Simmons.
Instruction covers basic guards, parries, strikes, kicks, strangles, takedowns, ground techniques and self defense.
Testing for a Certificate in Close Quarter Fighting is accomplished with YouTube (or similar) video postings or DVD's in which the student performs the requirements for each level. The testing fee is regularly $20.00, only $15.00 per test/rank for IMAF members.
