CQB Foundations Mar 2026 (CA)

This is the foundational course of our CQB series, providing a deep dive into the history, principles, and real-world applications of close-quarters tactics. Ideal for home-defense practitioners, CCW holders, and armed professionals, this course builds a strong tactical base before advancing into higher-level problem solving.

Students will learn core CQB concepts using pistols, with an emphasis on 3-man movement, room entry techniques, communication, and threat-based decision-making. Training is conducted in both indoor and outdoor structures using realistic non-lethal training ammunition (SIMS/UTM) to reinforce skills through scenario-driven work.

All NLTA pistols and ammunition are provided, with RDS-equipped G17 training pistols available for reservation.
