Immediate Personal DefenseJust what is this "C.A.R. SYSTEM" and HENCE, DOES IT NOT MAKE SENSE THAT AT LEAST 90% OF YOUR TRAINING FOCUSES ON FIGHTING INSIDE THESE CLOSE DISTANCES? YES, IT DOES. THANKFULLY, THERE IS THE CENTER AXIS RELOCK SYSTEM, AND HERE IS A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ON IT: Immediate Personal Defense Systems training concepts are based on the Active-Defense Concepts developed by Paul Castle of SABRE TTRR. This training has previously only been available to military and law enforcement personnel but is now available to law abiding armed citizens through the IPDSystems training programs. Our goal is to make you and your family more safe at home, in your vehicle, and at the workplace.
Immediate Personal Defense Systems training?
Before I tell you how this training will make you and your family safer, please consider the following:
THE NATIONAL AVERAGE HIT RATE FOR "TRAINED" POLICE OFFICERS INVOLVED IN REAL-WORLD GUNFIGHTS IS LESS THAN 20%. THE IMMEDIATE INCAPACITATION RATE IS LESS THAN 10%.
YET THESE OFFICERS "QUALIFY" AT THE RANGE EVERY YEAR.....
WHILE REMAINING STATIONARY, SHOOTING AT TARGETS THAT AREN'T SHOOTING BACK OR MOVING, UTILIZING UNREALISTIC STANCES, TIMEFRAMES, AND DISTANCES.....
ONE CAN DRAW A VERY LOGICAL CONCLUSION THAT TRADITIONAL RANGE TECHNIQUES AND STANCES DO NOT PROVE VERY EFFECTIVE IN REAL-WORLD ENCOUNTERS.
OVER 90% OF GUNFIGHTS, BOTH CIVILIAN & LAW ENFORCEMENT, FOLLOW THE RULE OF "3 TO 5"
HENCE, SHOULD YOUR TRAINING NOT FOCUS ON DISCHARGING MULTIPLE, WELL-PLACED ROUNDS INTO A THREAT'S VITAL AREAS TO INCAPCITATE SAID THREAT QUICKLY? OF COURSE. IT IS A SIMPLE IDEA. HOWEVER, CONVENTIONAL TARGET SHOOTING TARGETS GIVE THE MOST "POINTS" WHEN YOU SHOOT INTO THE TARGET'S STOMACH....TAKE A LOOK....THAT WILL COST YOU TIME, AND PERHAPS YOU OR YOUR LOVED ONE'S LIFE. WE WILL TEACH YOU TO AVOID THE INCLINATION TO "SCORE HIGH" IN A TAGET SHOOTING SCENARIO AND TO ENGAGE INTO AREAS MEDICALLY PROVEN AS MOST LIKELY TO STOP A HUMAN THREAT. THIS IS NOT "TARGET SHOOTING" OR "RANGE-TECHNIQUE" TRAINING. NOT AT ALL. WE TEACH ON A RANGE, BUT SHY AWAY FROM TRADITIONAL "TARGET SHOOTING" APPLICATIONS.
FURTHER, SHOULD YOU NOT TRAIN TO DO SO IN THE MINUMUM AMOUNT OF TIME, AND UTILIZING POSTITIONS AND TECHNIQUES THAT WILL NOT FIGHT WHAT YOUR OWN BODY WILL NATURALLY DO UNDER THE STRESS OF SUCH AN ENCOUNTER??? OF COURSE NOT...
CONVENTIONAL "TARGET SHOOTING" APPLICATIONS, POSITIONS, AND TECHNIQUES ONLY SET YOU UP FOR FAILURE IN SUCH A REAL-WORD ENCOUNTER. THIS IS WHY WE ONLY HAVE A ~17% HIT RATE, EVEN BY TRAINED POLICE, AT THOSE CLOSE DISTANCES. INEXCUSABLE, AND WE WILL CORRECT THAT. THOSE THAT HAVE UTILIZED THE C.A.R. SYSTEM IN REAL-WORLD GUNFIGHTS HAVE ENCOUNTERED AN OVER 90% HIT AND THREAT-INCAPACITATION RATE. THE C.A.R. SYSTEM MAY LOOK UNCONVENTIONAL BECAUSE IT IS UNCONVENTIONAL. AND VERY, VERY, EFFECTIVE....
YOUR TRAINING NEEDS TO FOCUS ON DOMINATING EVERYTHING IN A SPACE THE SIZE OF THE LARGEST ROOM IN YOUR HOME, BEING ABLE TO ACCURATELY ENGAGE THREATS WITH MULTIPLE ROUNDS, WITH SAID SHOTS TARGETING AREAS THAT WILL QUICKLY NEUTRALIZE THAT THREAT.
IPDS training utilizes those same concepts as detailed at Paul Castle's SABRE TTRR website, but has been especially tailored to civilians wishing to improve their immediate personal defense capabilities using handgun, shotgun and pepper spray.
The primary difference between the IPDS training programs (civilian) and Center Axis Relock (C.A.R.) Operator training (military / law enforcement) is really quite simple:
IPDS training focuses on the individual and how they can most effectively protect themselves and their family. IPDS training incorporates all of the same principles that are taught in the C.A.R. program. There are no "secrets" that are left out. What is left out are those tactics and techniques that are of little value to the individual: SWAT / SF Operator tactics while working in teams, such as explosive breaching while making a dynamic entry as a team utilizing distraction devices and shields. This allows us to more effectively tailor our civilian programs to what you want most: increasing your immediate personal defense.
I am not going to replicate here on this site the wealth of information on the C.A.R. System that is detailed on the main SabreTTRR website. I strongly encourage you to visit and read the articles and testimonials that will give you a better understanding on how this system works in the real world.
Also, my website's primary purpose is to give you a better understanding of the IPDS / C.A.R. training that I conduct in this area. I strongly recommend you visit the official main IPDSystems website for more information.
THAT BEING SAID, HERE ARE SOME QUICK LINKS THAT WILL GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION ON
