# Event Details - **Event Name**: Gunfighting Tactics against Contact-Distance Attacks: Counter-Blade Concepts for Concealed Carry - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 18 Jul, 2026 at 09:30 am - **Event Description**: Course Brief: To many CCW permit holders, the solution to a knife-armed threat is simple: shoot him. After all, “he brought a knife to a gunfight,” right? Unfortunately, knife attacks aren’t that simple. Without a realistic understanding of how knife and other contact-distance weapon attacks occur, it’s more accurate to say “you brought a holstered gun to a stabbing—yours.” In this dynamic "CBC for CCW" course, Michael Janich, founder of Counter-Blade Concepts (CBC) and former co-host of the long-running TV series The Best Defense, presents comprehensive instruction in his proven CBC system and integrates it with all aspects of close-range gunfighting. The result is a dynamic approach to close-quarters self-defense that enables you to survive a sudden attack, “earn your draw,” and finish the fight with your handgun. This reality-based course combines hands-on unarmed tactics with the use of blue guns and laser SIRT pistols. It does not include any live-fire components. Blue guns and SIRT pistols will be provided. Course Level: Intermediate Cost: $450 Price includes 2 Days Instruction by Guest Instructor plus Assistant Instructors, Lunch Each Day, Digital Copy of Counter-Blade Concepts Video to prepare for the seminar ($44.95 value) and SIRT pistol rental. Past CBC for CCW students may select the RETAKE Student option for $420 (no digital video included).
