THE CLINCH-TO-DRAW BLUEPRINT

Fighting To Your Weapon System

This is a three-hour, range-based training block built for gun owners who understand a simple truth: the fight that matters most is the one that starts too close. If you carry, your first problem is not marksmanship. Your first problem is recognizing trouble early, surviving the initial crash, protecting your head and belt line, creating space, and accessing your tool when it’s actually available.

We’ll work on threat recognition and pre-assault indicators, then move into close-range and “out of position” problems that happen around vehicles and in transitional spaces. You’ll learn simple, pressure-tested shielding and positioning methods that help you stay functional under surprise contact so you can fight your way into distance and get to a tool of advantage.

We’re going to cover the skills that keep you alive before the fight ever “looks like a fight.” You’ll learn how to recognize threats before they bloom into violence by spotting pre-assault indicators, physical tells, and posting behaviors that often show up right before the first strike. We’ll then train surprise-contact protection so you can use simple, functional shielding to protect your head and keep your brain online when the bad guy closes fast, moving from behind to ahead of time. 

From there, we’ll work out-of-position fighting from a seated position and against a wall, focusing on what to do when you don’t have your preferred stance, angle, or timing, and the bad guy is already in your space. You’ll learn how to clear attachments, break contact, and fight your way back into distance so you can access your weapon systems safely and intelligently. We’ll also cover protecting your belt line and your draw, including simple, practical ways to defend the holster area from grabs and attempted disarms, so you don’t donate your gun in a clinch. While we won’t be running vehicle-specific scenarios in this class, the principles you’ll learn here translate directly to the kinds of problems that often happen in and around vehicles.
