Immediately after part one of Cecil Burch’s Combative Applications of Chokes class, I stayed in the “Sand Pit” where the combatives courses of Paul-E-Palooza 3 were held to take Craig Douglas’ Managing Unknown Contacts Course.
Simply put the Managing Unknown Contacts module is something that should be taught in every single concealed carry class across the country even before the shooting portion of the concealed carry class. It is that critical of a skill.
Ideally, I would love to see the Managing Unknown Contacts module incorporated into the official NRA Personal Protection Outside the Home course.
- Some Pointers from the class
- Criminal Assault Paradigm
- “How do criminals do business?”
- Initiative Deficit (Ambush attack)
- Usually multiple assailants
- “How do criminals do business?”

- Pre-assault cues
- Grooming
- Movement of hands around the head area
