Counter Car Jacking and Vehicle Threat Course - Ares Training Facility - July 25th
An Intermediate, Real-World Defensive Course for the Everyday Carrier
When violence finds you, it will not be in a textbook. It will be in a parking lot, at a stoplight, in your driveway, or sitting behind the wheel with nowhere to go.
Our Counter Car-Jacking & Vehicle Threat Course is built for the real world—for daily carriers, CCW holders, and anyone who understands that your vehicle is both a tool and a potential trap when a threat presents itself.
This is not a basic handgun class.
This is an intermediate, operational skill-set course that teaches you how to fight from, in, and around vehicles under real-world conditions.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
This course goes far beyond the typical “shoot from a car” drills. We break down the realities of vehicle-based self-defense and threat mitigation, including:
✔ Vehicle Weapon Work
Drawing from the driver seat
Drawing from passenger positions
Fighting from confined spaces
Shooting in and out of a vehicle safely and effectively
Managing angles, glass, and hard-points
✔ Counter Car-Jacking
Recognizing pre-attack cues
Surviving and disrupting a violent approach
Rapid decision-making under high threat
Passenger control & passenger education
Exiting strategies and quick movement into/out of vehicles
✔ Vehicle Threat Awareness
Situational awareness in transitional spaces
Observation skills that keep you ahead of danger
Understanding how criminals use vehicles against you
✔ Vehicle as Cover/Concealment
The truth about ballistic protection on modern vehicles
Identifying hard points
Using the vehicle as a tool—not a coffin
✔ Vehicle vs. Vehicle Threats
What happens when the threat is in another vehicle
Movement, positioning, and reaction strategies
✔ Team Movement
Vehicle-to-foot transitions
Bounding out of a vehicle with a partner
Communication under stress
And so much more, all pulled from real operational experience—not theory.
WHY THIS COURSE MATTERS
If you carry a weapon…
You should be carrying your weapon inside your vehicle.
But where you store it, how you access it, and how you deploy it within the tight confines of a car are skills most carriers never train—and they absolutely should.
When a threat hits you in a vehicle, you won’t rise to the occasion…
You will fall to your level of training.
This course ensures that level is high.
LIMITED SEATING — INTENTIONALLY
Every HTS course is intentionally capped.
We believe in true 1-on-1 instruction, not cattle-call classes.
That means you get direct coaching, hands-on guidance, and real-time correction of mistakes.
This is live-fire, classroom-style, and range-based training blending real-world threats with real-world solutions.
Seats fill quickly—because this training is essential.
If you carry daily, you need this course.
Your vehicle is one of your highest-risk environments.
Train for it. Prepare for it.
Become harder to kill.
Hard Target Solutions
Operational Skill Sets. Real-World Training. Second to None.
