This week we are extremely excited to have Craig Douglas of Shivworks on the show. Craig is the father of the real life "Fight Club" with a gun or knife. His course work Extreme Close Quarters Concepts (ECQC) has changed the lives of countless people throughout the US and around the world. This show we discuss the details of the course and hit on the experience that the EvoSec crew had in the recent Olympia ECQC that they hosted 13-15 Sep 2019.

ECQC typically enlightens the patron that there is so much more to a defensive use of a weapon then the weapon itself; fight avoidance, an inoculated mind (to violence), fitness and wrestling skills are likely far more important. This point is driven hard in this monumental interview. The crew also discuss the details of Craig's other flagship course Armed Movement inside Structures (AMIS). This class is a deep dive into one of the worst case scenarios in a self-defense, the solo movement and negotiation of a structure with the possibility of armed assailants inside said structure.

In addition for those that know Craig, we go into some really interesting discussions have have likely never been aired before.

Bio:

William Aprill is a licensed mental health professional with over 15 years experience across the continuum of care. He presently maintains a private practice and consultancy specializing in post-traumatic interventions and other disciplines.

William is a former deputy sheriff (Orleans Parish, LA, Criminal Sheriff's Office) and Special Deputy US Marshal (Eastern District of Louisiana). He is a decorated competitive shooter and has taught civilian, law enforcement, and military personnel in various fighting skills since 1990.

William maintains an active schedule both as student and teacher, having been instructor-rated by several top-tier trainers and studying under many of the most influential members of the combative arts community.

Under the auspices of Aprill Risk Consulting, William has presented his material on violent criminals and their decision-making, defensive incident aftermath, mindset development and defensive preparedness locally and nationally, including at the Annual Conference of the International Association of Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors (IALEFI), Rangemaster Tactical Conference, Tactical Response Alumni Weekend, and at Paul-E-Palooza, the memorial conference and fundraiser for the family of the late Paul Gomez.

William Aprill brings a diverse, vast, and vitally important skill set to the field of self-preservation. He has studied interpersonal violence from the perspective of a cop, an armed citizen, a martial artist, a shooting instructor, and through the lens of his scientific training. He has interviewed and researched hundreds of violent criminals and reduced the data obtained into an easily understandable paradigm.

William is also a gifted instructor with an excellent sense of humor and insight into the context of the armed citizen, law enforcement, and military student. ARC classes should be mandatory for anyone interested in self protection.

ECQC After Action Review: This week the EvoSec crew does an AAR of the 13-15 Sep 2019 Olympia WA Extreme Close Quarters Concepts (ECQC) course with Craig Douglas.  EvoSec hosted the event.  If you are serious about self-defense, this course is a must, it is life saving and life changing. 

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.

Modern semi-auto rifles are demonized by the mainstream but are they actually a viable defensive tool? We believe they are arguably the preferable defensive firearm. In this show we talk about a defensive use of an AR that took place just recently, no mention in the media of this case. We also hit a little on our preferred ammo for ARs.  Lastly, Brian Schilt dives deep into the details of AR Pistols which have become the hottest new direction in ARs.  Brian's expertise in building ARs as a former Class III manufacture is a must listen.  Lastly Eric and Aaron Davis discuss their recent and current builds respectively.
