What is Louisville Close Quarter Combatives about?

Hi,

My name is Keith Miller, and I have spent the better part of 17 years learning about and training for practical and effective self defense. What do I mean by “Practical and Effective”? Glad you asked...you see, I have been blessed to train with many top notch martial artists. I mean people who are way better at any of this than I am, or ever will be. And one thing was always constant with all of them. They believed that Fighting in the real world was something altogether different than what is called martial arts.

Martial Arts is exactly what is sounds like. The “Art” of expressing the human form through some type of “Combative Movement”. Now, it’s true that the original intent of many martial arts were for combat, but they have not evolved, or were never 100% effective to begin with. 

By and large, the concept of martial arts is to teach you a bunch of techniques that you will eventually learn to fight with. Louisville CQC takes a “Reverse Engineering Approach” to the equation, by reserving judgement of the practicality of techniques until they have been used in the fight first. In other words, martial arts gives you tools and puts you in a fight with them...While CQC puts you in a fight, and allows techniques and tactics to evolve from the positional an situational problems that must be solved therein. 

It seems complex and convoluted, but it’s really now. Of course we learn to punch, kick, and wrestle just like other martial arts, but we are not held to the “Doctrine” of a specific technique or tactic. If it doesn’t work, it gets thrown out or tweaked. It may even get revisited at another time. But we don’t do it a certain way, “Because it’s always been done that way.”

The end goal is simple. Practical and Tactically Sound self defense solutions for anyone and everyone. From Soccer Mom for Navy Seal. This requires us to think differently, and train differently than your average martial arts school.

I invite you to come try it out at one of our next trainings.
