Close-Quarters Combat

Same definition as CQB; it's a martial-arts inspired art of hand-to-hand combat. CQC can also be used when you have a flat knife and a handgun equipped at the same time.
The reason a flat knife (such as, say, a Colt Combat Commander) is recommended with a handgun is because, when you're equipped with both at once, and you're engaging in shootouts, you can rest the knife on the grip while holding the gun the way you should be to maintain capability (see gun control). Thus if you suddenly engage in proximity encounter, you can immediately switch between a handgun and a knife.

"CQC is only recommended for special forces personnel. It doesn't work for everyone."
-Motosada Mori
"CQC is awesome, but for me, it would be difficult to memorize ALL the moves. In real-life I mean."

Space CQC 

Space CQC (Close Quarters Combat) is a fighting style used by Nyaruko, Kuuko, Hasturr, and likely other aliens. Space CQC is a variety of moves involving special abilities, powers, and even ranged attacks used by specific characters. Space CQC most importantly also includes others moves that are indistinguishable from regular hand-to-hand combat you'd see from humans. Many aliens have also extraordinary strength that humans lack giving them an edge with combat.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
