Carjacking Defense

About Our Carjacking Defense Course:

There is no reason to live in fear of crime and violence. There is however reason to take reasonable precautions. And in doing so, you will have deterred most criminals from choosing you as their victim.

Our Carjacking Defense Course is part of our Dynamic Response Survival Training program.

In a time of great crisis and stress, you must be able to act rationally and safely. The ability to react in this manner only comes through good training and a survival mindset.

The reason is simple, there are thousands of people around who are easier and safer targets. The harder you make it for the criminal to victimize you, the more likely he is to go ply his trade elsewhere. You won't have stopped the criminal from being a criminal, but you will have stopped him from choosing you as a victim.

Our Carjacking Defense course is designed to expose defense methods to civilians of all ages with no security background or who may be concerned with their personal safety.  We will teach you methods for an individual, as well as how to react and respond as a couple or if your family and children are involved. You will walk away from this day of training with empowerment, which comes through knowledge and confidence. You will of course be taught that number one, no property is worth you putting your safety or the safety of your family at risk. But when you must act and defend, we will teach you the methods and give you the tools to do so.

We will begin our training day by discussing Awareness and Pre-incident Indicators. The best way to not find yourself as a victim of a violent crime, is to do everything you can to avoid putting yourself into that situation to begin with. But unfortunately, even trying your best to avoid, you can find yourself thrust into a violent and deadly encounter.

Our Carjacking defense program introduces you to methods of defending in a confined area while in a sitting position. Especially with the seat belt connected and behind the steering wheel. With robbery, carjacking, kidnapping and personal safety threats increasing, civilians will be exposed to certain methods provided to Security Agencies and Personal Protection Specialist agents relating to Carjacking Defense and Auto Deterrents. Some key points include, Statistics - Locations and Choke Points - Scams - Planning - Situational Awareness - Gesture Signs of individuals - Approaching the vehicle - Safety Tips including utilizing Non-Lethal instruments as a means of defending within a confined area. Practical application workshop is enforced with handouts on the program. All handouts re-enforce visual learning from the seminar and workshop. 

Participants are shown multiple ways on how attacks are carried out and how the assailant will utilize either hands for certain movements or actions. Either grabbing and striking the victim or grabbing the steering wheel or keys. All participants will practice simulated situations in their own vehicle. All defense applications eliminate concerns associated with a person's ability, strength, gender and one's health. 

The Carjacking Defense Program begins in the classroom and then moves to the outdoors where participants will utilize their own vehicle for a better understanding and comfort level. If anyone teaches Carjacking Defenses in a class room sitting on chairs alone, they will be wasting your time. In a vehicle, all elements such as the seat belt and steering wheel make all the difference in a confine area when it really counts. We will begin indoors in a seated position to learn the mechanics of the move, and to where all participants can train at the same time in static training environment, then we will move outdoors to a more dynamic setting.

Areas of interest include:

Front Seat. Defending from the front seat is challenging with the seat belt around the body and a steering wheel in front. There is a limitation of movement. Within this area participants are shown defense applications including actions that are unexpected. These unexpected actions off-set the assailant's mind on how they thought the action would play out giving the victim an advantage.

Rear Seat. This location has been associated with individuals being violated. Females were high among the victims and as such, the defense applications within the rear seat location increases the safety and survivability.

Trunk. The trunk area is high on victim attacks because the victim back faces the assailant as they approach while the victim is placing packages in the trunk. Knowing this, we utilize certain applications and guidelines to insure survivability. Especially during the holiday seasons.
