CQC is any close range style of combat. There are many types. Even Muay Thai houses some forms of CQC.

Standard instruction some Marine units, but level of training depends on your unit and the instructor.

Ive only done the CQB, assault and forceable entry, basic room clearing, that kinda stuff

i dont strike much but i the time i have spent doing strikes in kempo/bjj/mma i liked a lot for CQB

but i feel closing the distance and grappling is my best bet

I start with the australian special forces end of this year and I know that CQC is part of the course. I was thinking of getting back into martial arts with a style of CQC called budo jiutsu. It was started by a bloke named rob gear who helped establish the system with Australian SF and fed police. Was just curious who had done what and how it stacked up against other martial arts in tyerms of practicality.

Look up Geoff "Tank" Todd, I beleive he is in New Zealand, he has his own school down there that teaches the real stuff. Based on WWII hand to hand systems (Fairbairn, Applegate, Sykes, Nelson, Biddle...ETC). Stay with true CQC based programs, avoid M/A based, Here's the link

From personal experice I think you find alot more to close quarters fighting than hand to hand stuff. Granted I have never been in australian special forces. Most of it has nothing to do with Martial arts type training. No one grappels when you can shoot someone. My recomondations are not to worry about stuff like that and just make sure you can run, swim and hike.
