is the ShivWorks Network

ShivWorks, led by Craig Douglas, offers a comprehensive online training program known as the ECQC (Extended Close Quarters Combat) curriculum, designed to prepare individuals for real-world combat scenarios. With a focus on managing unknown contacts, weapon retention, and close-quarter engagements, the curriculum aims to address the shortcomings of traditional range training, which often fails to prepare participants for the dynamic nature of actual violence.

Students can access a variety of resources, including on-demand courses, live training sessions, and a supportive private community of practitioners. The curriculum is structured into 14 course blocks, covering essential skills such as grappling, handgun retention, and entangled shooting. Targeted at both beginners and seasoned professionals, ShivWorks emphasizes situational awareness and mental readiness, equipping members with the practical knowledge needed to handle dangerous situations effectively. Enrollment as a founding member ensures lifetime access to the evolving curriculum and exclusive content, providing invaluable training for those committed to personal safety and self-defense.
