by accident I slipped on to the BlackHawk site. I went looking around for a minute and saw the advertising CQD started by a former SEAL named Dieter. According to what the site say this is a shit hot close quarters system rooted in ancient chinese warriors or something. Anyone know anything about this CQD or Dieter? Why did the site say the training techniques are a confidential or somethin?

to my knowledge Dieter wasn't a SEAL, Mike Noell, the founder and owner of BHI however is/was a SEAL.
as for CQD, don't know much about it other than a website in the works

I do not know if he was a SEAL. In fact, I had never heard that he was one and I actually partcipated in some of his training. He is without question an extremely knowledgeable instructor and has in fact trained many elite units over the past several years, and all of the Tiers, SEALS included.

I found that he was also a genuinely good guy; very humble and quietly confident. I did not know that he has started to sell his stuff to the public. I would expect that it is high quality in the same manner that his personal instruction was. Semper Fi.

I looked at it again, it didn't really say he was a SEAL, it said that "If you're an active or retired SEAL you should know Dieter". I stand corrected on the SEAL issue. I don't think BlackHawk is selling his techniques, because they are referred to as "highly classified". They do sell Dieter combat gear.

Hey JSOC,
Is CQD kinda of like the name brand now for the special ops units to use?

CQD is new to me, I have never heard of that term before. It may be a "trademark" that Dieter uses, or it may well be a new military term. Perhaps the active folks would be able to better answer your question. Semper Fi.

CQD (Close Quarters Defense) is Duane Dieter's trademark name for his fighting system. It is a bit of a misnomer, in that it stresses offensive techniques, both unarmed and armed. It also ties in shooting drills and prisoner handling.
