The Brits Call Close Quarter Battle Simply "Fighting In Somebody's House".

This module of instruction is an educational, historical, and contextual discussion about what, why, and how we arrived at the current generation of CQB doctrine, and how military, police, and private citizens adapt the basic principles to suit their varying needs.

Note the difference between technical and tactical training. Technical training modules are hardware and skill focused, whereas tactical training modules like this one are focused on decision making and problem solving.
