Andre Quiles pioneered the development of a comprehensive long-gun retention curriculum specifically designed for patrol officers and operators. This course provides in-depth training on firearm malfunctions and forced malfunctions while seamlessly integrating combative techniques applicable to real-world scenarios. It encompasses the full spectrum of weapon retention strategies, from clinch fighting to grappling-based gun control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The curriculum places significant emphasis on strikes for weapon retention, the use of backup retention tools, and advanced tactics such as utilizing the sling as a retention tool and alternative tools for long-gun retention. Training scenarios guide participants through engagements that transition from standing clinches to ground fighting, focusing on intentional control and situational awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The class\u2019s primary objective is to teach foundational skills for defending against gun grabs, with strategies to avoid ground fighting or purposefully transition from clinch to ground when necessary. Andre Quiles, an active-duty law enforcement officer, multiple-time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Champion, and certified firearms instructor, has meticulously tested every possible ground-fighting position involving long guns. This ensures the program\u2019s retention-focused techniques are both effective and practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the program incorporates Close Quarters Battle scenarios to enhance adaptability in high-stress, confined environments, making it a vital resource for professionals seeking to elevate their operational readiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
