CQC does exist under that name, but it's a bit more complex than shown in the games. CQC in military and police is not a combat technique but rather a subdivision of combat ranges. It goes from far, like hundreds of meters, where the only applicable technique is sniping, to closer distances and indoor combat -> rifles -> handguns -> knifes & bare hands and the closest range is for elbows. The techniques for the latter ones are not CQC, but borrowed from other martial arts, mostly judo and krav maga.

Judo, krav maga and - pretty new these days - hapkido are the most popular martial arts to borrow military fighting techniques from, because the are reduced to pure effectivity and ignore the aspect of "good look". Those three arts are focused on pure effectivity and simplicity, they're pretty easy to learn and execute, look unspectacular and are highly effective, so if you wanna beat s.o.'s ass up, you better learn one of these.
