Does the adult CQC class incorporate full contact fighting?

​Yes and no. Combatives, because of its nature, must be practiced under controlled conditions. Because striking at the body's vulnerable parts is Combatives underlying counterattack principle, caution must be applied when using the techniques especially to the groin, throat and eyes. 

However, controlled sparring with protective gear and groundwork is an integral part of the Combatives  curriculum. Advanced students regularly participate in "fighting classes." Combatives instructors emphasize two paradoxical training rules: 


(1) there are no rules in a fight 
(2) one must not injure oneself or one's partner when training.

Does the adult CQC class distinguish between training men and women? 

No, Combatives are for people of all shapes, sizes, and physical abilities regardless of age or sex. The same Combatives techniques, with minor modifications, are taught to both men and women.
However, the emphasis placed on certain techniques is can be different. Size and strength are factors a defender - male or female - must take into consideration. This is especially true where reach is a determining factor. Often women are confronted with a predatory attack, which brings the attacker in close. As a result, "infighting" or elbows, knees, eye-gouges, and, if necessary, bites are encouraged. In addition, some women are reluctant to use their knuckles for striking and instead may feel more comfortable, for example, using a palm-heal. Several Combatives ground-fighting techniques also address sexual predation or other dangers women may face and are specially adapted.

Does the the adult CQC class curriculum incorporate groundwork?


Yes, the Combatives incorporates extensive groundwork tailored to the Combatives philosophy of quickly disabling or neutralizing an opponent. In other words, a Combatives  practitioner does not necessarily intend for a "submission" or "tap out" from an opponent as common in sport fighting. A Combatives practionner will execute a joint dislocation or worse to end to the confrontation. (On this and related points, use of force and legal issues are important considerations. A defender must not exceed "reasonable" force or use excessive measures once the threat ceases to be a danger. Use of force issues vary considerably and it is incumbent for a defender to know what is legally acceptable.)
