EPISODE 21
FIGHT CLUB
WITH CRAIG DOUGLAS
Craig Douglas, retired cop chats about fighting when weapons are involved
Craig Douglas is a retired SWAT and undercover narcotics cop who started a company called Shivworks, specializing in close-range and entangled gunfighting and knife defense. His classes and training philosophies are legendary, and he joined us on the podcast to discuss some of those things. He also has courses dealing with solo building searches and fighting in a vehicle, which both present a pretty unique set of problems. Listen us to pick Craig’s brain about pressure-testing tactics and techniques, edged weapons, de-escalation, and the right time to draw or use a gun.
