Integrated Training & Challenges at Close Quarters Tactical (CQT) are designed to validate skills across disciplines, not just test shooting accuracy. These events combine firearms, combatives, movement, physical stress, and decision-making into structured challenges that reflect real-world demands.

Unlike traditional classes that teach individual skills in isolation, integrated events expose how those skills hold up when fatigue, pressure, and uncertainty are introduced.

Multi-Stage Team Challenge

$100/participant | Multi-Stage Team Challenge

Participants apply skills learned in previous training in dynamic, timed, and scored stages.

Event Format

  • Teams of 2 compete across 3 stages

Stage 2: Shock Knife Fight

  • Controlled electrified training knife duels

  • Points awarded for slashes and stabs (1 pt / slash, 2 pts / stab)

  • First to 7 points wins the engagement

  • Focus: hand-to-hand combat, weapon retention, and decision-making under duress

Stage 3: Agent Rescue & Stress Shooting

  • Part 1 - Agent Rescue: Navigate from the pro shop to the shoot house, neutralize adversaries, and extract a “captured agent” back to safety

  • Part 2 - Stress and Accuracy Shooting: Move to the range with 1 rifle and 1 pistol, engage 10 targets from 45ft; scoring includes penalties for hitting non-threat targets

  • Focus: teamwork, tactical movement, target discrimination, and stress inoculation
