Trident Tactical Academy brings elite Close Quarters Battle (CQB) training to Goodyear, Arizona, a city known for its clear skies and arid desert landscape that sets the perfect stage for tactical firearm education. CQB is a specialized skill set focusing on combat scenarios within confined spaces, where split-second decisions and precise shooting are critical. Trident Tactical Academy’s RIFLE CQB - BRAVO course is designed to sharpen these skills through a structured, three-hour session tailored for shooters of all experience levels—from new firearm owners to advanced military and law enforcement operators aiming to elevate their marksmanship and movement.
This course is deeply rooted in practical, real-world shooting tactics optimized for close-range encounters typically occurring within 3 to 15 feet. The curriculum is divided into escalating drills focusing on speed, accuracy, and safe gun handling under pressure. Students learn dynamic shooting techniques including shoot-and-move drills, taking cover, and tactical room clearing. The training incorporates movement on various platforms such as standing, kneeling, and prone positions, closely mirroring operational realities faced by special forces and SWAT teams.
Goodyear’s dry, spacious environment complements the intense focus required for mastering CQB. The region’s sparse vegetation and wide-open training grounds allow safe, effective sessions without distractions, enhancing skill retention and situational awareness. Though primarily a tactical academy, Trident Tactical Academy enriches the local outdoor activity scene by providing an option for those interested in honing defense-oriented skills within an authentic, controlled atmosphere.
