bestrok76, I completely agree, I say that I punch with my feet, block with my feet and even shoot with my feet. Not to be cryptic but to emphasize total body movement in everything I’m doing. When the drills I demonstrate progress in that way, I believe that’s why my students are getting better faster than with more traditional teaching methods.
Thank you for commenting. There is a lot of science behind the position and it's proper application. If you have any questions let me know. Safe training, take care.
I appreciate it tried telling that to Mr.James Yeager and got the response "I have my training I don't need gimmicks" but i love the science and versatility of The C.A.R so to each his own.
Well then you will be happy to hear that I'm working with three doctors (ophthalmology, neurology and functional medicine) to put out a much more thorough scientific description as to why you get faster site picture acquisition, the illumination of divorce picture without the negative affects of loss of depth perception etc. it is all extremely exciting. As for anyone who doesn't see the benefit of having this tool for their firearms system then they either have not been shown it properly or there's some other "issue". I have gone so far as to pay to fly people down to my course for them to see firsthand taking payment only at the end for them to write articles etc. From even the staunchest and most negative people within a few hours are shooting better and end up shaking my hand.
Maybe I'm old school but I've always been taught to present your plates to the target. But at that close of an engagement that's probably the least of the worries. I guess whichever you train to be proficient with is just as effective. Training and repetition is the key.
That’s a good thought. Many start off with this technique in a vehicle where you cannot put your plates to the threat. Huge advantage to changing hands and aiming 360° with a compressed position while locked in your driver seat!
I know it's just a toy and they are all pros, but instinctually I would have flinched in that intro when he points that gun at the cameraman and someone else fires, the sight of a gun towards you followed by the sound and the camera man didn't even move a muscle, literal machine! 😅🤣
Very good demo / video, like your clarification. Although with a concealed weapon and draw time is essentially what carries the day. In as such I can't help noticing your back is completely turned, which I see as a deterrent. With that said everyone needs to be comfortable with what works best for them. I still have a lot to learn. I work on speed and accuracy I get off 3 rounds in less than 1 second on two targets, first round is off as soon as the gun clears, second round as coming up third round back on first target with both hands. I like the weapon retention and hope to incorporate advantage of the CAR system into CQ. I practice my draw daily. When live fire within 9 feet or closer. Great video. Thanks.
Sgt.Major Burton Truxal - Thank you for your comment. Great times and accuracy on your concealed draw/fire, well done. I don’t think I understand the comment about turning my back? At any rate you are correct in that the weapon retention is a place everyone can start with for this system. I look forward to meeting, training and discussing ideas with you one day. Thank you for your service, stay safe.
First let me compliment you on your form and technique which is superb. I guess I am speaking of the three quarter turn as you draw placing your back to the target's down range. ( In my mind's eye I'm looking at them as a potential threat) Especially during the demo at .18 seconds, and various times throughout. It's easy for me to critique a video and might not be appropriate it's like saying "who am I to judge another man's foot-soldier". I noticed you did take a semi step back. Something's I do like and can take away is how you treat the matter of bringing the gun to eye level. I'm not certain if this system is more appropriate for open carry as in LEO rather than concealed carry. Thank you for your response. I'm definitely going to train with the C.A.R. Techniques.
I added this video. I have a disability due to a back and knee injuries so I am somewhat stiff and restricted. th-cam.com/video/eQvp7uOVe4M/w-d-xo.html
Sgt.Major Burton Truxal - thank you for the discussion. I definitely have strong opinions on movement, multiple attackers and how to deal with things like people being close to you who are not threats but could still hinder your proper movement. All great topics and what I would call winning conversations to have. Please feel free to contact me in person to have a higher quality of conversation not in a public forum. As well of course if you would like to train in CAR I would be happy to point you in that direction.
@@NaturalTactical Yes I definitely agree these are all good topics. I personally have been engaged in life or death situations which I wish not to discuss in open forum much less even speak about.

Admittingly I am "Old School." I am Nationally Distinguished with the .45 caliber service pistol, I am also Nationally Distinguished in police competition with the .38 caliber service revolver. I was the "All-Army" National Combat Pistol Champion twice. This demonstration of the center axis re-lock is very impressive and it appears as though it could have an application in close quarters combat. What I see however and something that one who uses this method for target acquisition will not see if they were shooting at a person are the bullets impacting on the target. I looked very closely at this video and I noticed two things that got my attention, one the shooter is directly aligned with the target making target acquisition easier to obtain and two, the shooter can see the bullets impacting on the target in order to make it visibly possible to adjust his point of aim, if necessary. Absent any visible hits on a person how would the shooter know where the shots are going? Or is it entirely impossible to miss someone at three or four feet, specially head shots?
Thank you for your interest and for your comments. Please feel free to reach out to me in email as I would love to have a conversation with you instead of typing. jeff@naturaltactical.com. I will say this, seeing your rounds actually hitting someone is not only something that cannot be relied upon in a gun fight both for the fact that you may not perceive them and for the fact that they may not be perceivable but also and even more importantly with pistol rounds versus rifle rounds, rounds impacting on someone does not mean they will then stop their deadly force actions. No matter what is going on, no matter if you are firing at them or not, go by their actions or in actions. Did they drop the gun or not? If they did drop to the ground is the gun still in their hand? These are the things that matter and these are the things that dictate further firing or not. If you are witching a few feet of them can you fire while repositioning. Fire and move? The only thing consistent with the terminal ballistics of pistol rounds is they are completely inconsistent and unreliable. But I would love to have further chats if you would like. We will be in Texas in October for an open enrolment class if you’re able to make it? Stay safe!
Thatoneguy overthere, thanks for your comment and for your question. Other than the eLearning online course you download, not really. I have a 100 page manual that goes with the live training course. I guess I should probably look to do a book as well. What would you like the book to cover?
@@NaturalTactical you could start with a brief history of the system. Go over the different stances and why the system uses them. Basically what sets you apart from other systems. Look for the "why" that way you don't have too many worry about the "what" except for in the manual and the class. This could help people from getting the book and then saying "oh yeah I'm a master at the car system it's all in this book." I think that if you get them interested with the book that will hook them well enough to pay for the class. I, of course, mean civilian and LEO not just one or the other. Just a thought, thanls for the reply.
I love the CAR system it makes so much more sense, think about it why would you ever hold the gun far far away from your body? That would be the stupidest thing you can do, if the gun is further away the attacker can knock it away or snatch it from you easily and then you are toast you are good as dead. The CAR system keeps the firearm close to you body and almost using your body to protect the firearm first, its almost a bit silly to say you must use your body to protect the gun, but if you actually think about it it makes perfect sense, protect the gun so you can fire back and stop the attacker. In many instances you do not know where an attack is coming from, it maybe the side or someone punches you down or kicks you down, the car system allows you to absorb that attack and then fire back. The other stances leaves the gun in a vulnerable state and easier to get knocked away or taken away from you.
@@NaturalTacticalI was joking not to be disrespectful; interesting videos. I recently have had hand surgeries, right hand first then left hand the recovery time for each is about Six months. I am some what ambidextrous, started working and practicing "weak" hand before surgeries. Have found your videos to be insightful. I am an avid shooter, always looking for area of improvement. Thank you
@@sgtmajorburtontruxel1497 feel free to email me and I can explain a bit more if you like. This system works great for development of both hands etc. There are always a few finer points for individuals to help make it best for them.
Daxis Perry, Great question, the CAR System is the bridge between your holster and whenever it is most optimal to do a waiver or isosceles. So we transition between CAR and Weaver/Isosceles all the time when in a structure for example. For this reason we have specific methods for doing those transitions most ultimately. That is why we say there are three shooting positions in the CAR System and one of them is weaver/isosceles. Does that makes sense?
No, am I supposed to? I found it easier to sight in using my right eye, because I'm right handed and right eye dominate. I will try doing that and see the difference.
Yes there is a lot more to the technique that is not on Google because we didn't want the wrong people learning it. The reason for this is the illumination of dual site picture well keeping both eyes open. If the technique is working for you already I can't wait to see how well it works once you practice that. If you can, seek certified instruction or come to one of my classes anytime. I have a money back guarantee to minimize the risk of coming to the course and I have yet to have anyone ask for their money back.
J Hendricks, interesting observation. I’m 6’2” and yes, the targets are all a bit low as this is the side of the range and we wanted a place to be able to have a high angle to practice simulated vehicle protection, having the pistol across the chest and still able to achieve high angle shots to the adversaries head without going over the berm.
Xxx88Xxx, good question, I don’t think I’ve ever clarified that. Just to be certain I understand, you mean I will sometimes flare the fingers up on the support side hand, the one not holding the pistol at that time whether it be weapon side or reaction side. Yes that’s just something that I do, it doesn’t have to be done. What I’m actually doing is I’m constantly making sure the hand gripping the pistol has no tension in the trigger finger and solid isometric tension in the middle and ring fingers also in the support side palm, not the support side fingers. If you’re supporting into the non-pistol holding hands fingers you will tend to platform and lose stability, the way that is done incorrectly in the John Wick movies for example.
What exactly is the advantage of using your left eye to aim if your holding your pistol right handed? Reason I ask is there could be a scenario when you need to engage one target in 2 yds (or less) but have another target at distance. If I just used my right eye, all I would have to do is just extend my arms and maintain sight alignment.
That’s a great question. Here’s a link to a couple of journal articles I wrote on eliminating duel sight picture by citing with the other side either in the pistol holding hand. Also the concept for moving in and out of positions such as the combat position and a typical Weaver isosceles is a question that needs to be addressed via live demonstration. Basically distance but actually time is a relevant factor in choosing what position is best. I hope that makes a little bit of sense. naturaltactical.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/IALEFI-CAR-Part-I.pdf naturaltactical.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IALEFI-CAR-Part-2.pdf More references - podcasts & articles at: naturaltactical.com/links/
@@Th3og0ny Yes absolutely. That is the problem too, wish I could just show you so you can benefit from all the trials and tribulations to find how this works WITH you and traditional training stances. Stay safe.
Sérgio Magalhães, good question. Short version is you look at the front sight. Of course this is context driven. Does that make sense? Not in every context but that’s basically the technique.
@@NaturalTactical When I practice shooting I use to shoot instinctive at very short range, focus at the target when a bit away and use good sight picture to longer ranges, I started to practice this way by myself. I think same can be applied to C.A.R. system, but CQB position is already instinctive so if using combat position in distances like a bedroom I would prefer to focus on target. Thanks for the reply.
Sérgio Magalhães, yes, correct, because you were also aligning your body with the target so you are getting proper side alignment through two sources. 👍🏻
There are a few for sure that I am aware of. I have seen many people who did not see the value in those teachings but once the context was demonstrated they all admitted there was definitely value and a place for it. Thanks for commenting and Stay Safe!
Zack Musick, thank you for commenting. I’m not sure if I completely understand your question. Both eyes open to perceived threat, then bringing the pistol up and turn your head in order to use one eye for site alignment & sight picture but maintaining both eyes open the entire time. This eliminates dual sight picture, the loss of depth perception, etc.
Zack Musick, right hand holds pistol, turn head, both eyes open, use left eye, right cannot see front sight. Opposite is true when pistol in left hand. Obviously there is a tactic for learning and performing this technique. Eye dominance will not have a bearing on it. Feel free to email to discuss further in a non-open source format. -Jeff.
Natural Tactical thank you for your reply. I'm surprised a subcompact can be used with this system. Everything else almost pointed to like full size handgun.
You're welcome, obviously the principles once learned will apply to basically any weapon system. There are some modifications if you have for example a ported barrel or a high calibre revolver. Even using a can of OC spray switching 180° hand to hand is the same.
There is way too much body movement. Why would I turn my body when I bring it to center? This just looks dumb, and I never saw this used once in the Marine Corps.
Hello David, thank you for the comment and the question on turning your body. Unfortunately, this video was done live fire, and should have been done with a rule player as the target. Obviously typing is not a good medium for laying out the context but this video was talking about firing from stage two of the draw versus the close quarter position. If a person were advancing from where the target was towards you at a close distance, and you were firing from stage two of the draw, your option would be to continue firing from there, or at some point, presenting your arms out, which would either put the gun to the attacker, or you would need to back up. The close quarters position, across the chest, allows for deflecting of any grab or even breaking off a grab that has taken place to your weapon. And then the combat position allows for you to have sighted fire without walking backwards against a moving attacker or put in your arms all the way forward in a traditional isosceles type presentation, where the attacker obviously has the ability to disrupt you. I believe in your body and bringing the gun back to the clothes quarter position you create further “distance” , and therefore, “time”. Anyway, I hope at least a bit of that makes sense to those who read this. I would certainly be happy to have a higher order conversation about it with anyone who wishes to contact me or come out to one of our courses to be shown the important points. I’m always leery of teaching the specifics of a technique on an open platform. I don’t want to risk ill intentioned people learning the system. Thanks again for your comment and for your service. Stay safe!
Asd Winxa thank you for commenting. Please feel free to email me to discuss your questions, my information is in the about section of the TH-cam channel. Don't want to openly discuss the technique too much as my greatest fear is to train people who are not responsible.

Zack Musick, thank you for commenting. I’m not sure if I completely understand your question. Both eyes open to perceived threat, then bringing the pistol up and turn your head in order to use one eye for site alignment & sight picture but maintaining both eyes open the entire time. This eliminates dual sight picture, the loss of depth perception, etc.
Natural Tactical When I turn my head am I using the opposite of my dominant eye for site alignment & sight picture?
Zack Musick, right hand holds pistol, turn head, both eyes open, use left eye, right cannot see front sight. Opposite is true when pistol in left hand. Obviously there is a tactic for learning and performing this technique. Eye dominance will not have a bearing on it. Feel free to email to discuss further in a non-open source format. -Jeff.
Can this system be used with compact handguns? Like a g19. And do you use right hand left eye my perspective looks like right hand right eye.
Shelby buck, yes it can. I often use a G43 so the larger G19 is no issue. And yes, right hand - left eye.
Natural Tactical thank you for your reply. I'm surprised a subcompact can be used with this system. Everything else almost pointed to like full size handgun.
You're welcome, obviously the principles once learned will apply to basically any weapon system. There are some modifications if you have for example a ported barrel or a high calibre revolver. Even using a can of OC spray switching 180° hand to hand is the same.
Is anyone actually teaching center axis relock in Tennessee?
Funny you should ask, I have just entered a contract where I will be coming to Chattanooga, TN. We have not scheduled any dates yet though.
I had a weird dream about being trained to do exactly this
There is way too much body movement. Why would I turn my body when I bring it to center? This just looks dumb, and I never saw this used once in the Marine Corps.
Hello David, thank you for the comment and the question on turning your body.
Unfortunately, this video was done live fire, and should have been done with a rule player as the target.
Obviously typing is not a good medium for laying out the context but this video was talking about firing from stage two of the draw versus the close quarter position.
If a person were advancing from where the target was towards you at a close distance, and you were firing from stage two of the draw, your option would be to continue firing from there, or at some point, presenting your arms out, which would either put the gun to the attacker, or you would need to back up.
The close quarters position, across the chest, allows for deflecting of any grab or even breaking off a grab that has taken place to your weapon. And then the combat position allows for you to have sighted fire without walking backwards against a moving attacker or put in your arms all the way forward in a traditional isosceles type presentation, where the attacker obviously has the ability to disrupt you.
I believe in your body and bringing the gun back to the clothes quarter position you create further “distance” , and therefore, “time”.
Anyway, I hope at least a bit of that makes sense to those who read this.
I would certainly be happy to have a higher order conversation about it with anyone who wishes to contact me or come out to one of our courses to be shown the important points.
I’m always leery of teaching the specifics of a technique on an open platform. I don’t want to risk ill intentioned people learning the system.
Thanks again for your comment and for your service.
Stay safe!
which eyes need to aim ?
Asd Winxa thank you for commenting. Please feel free to email me to discuss your questions, my information is in the about section of the TH-cam channel. Don't want to openly discuss the technique too much as my greatest fear is to train people who are not responsible.
He went to the Steven seagull school of shooting and cqb
Seems to me MORE NATURAL !!!!!!!!!
James 8749, thanks for commenting. Hopefully one day I can show you the principles in person so you can see. Stay safe.
Natural Tactical I’m looking forward to it 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
James 8749 great.
Is that John Travolta hahaha I think its clone
Real Life Tactics and not Paper Hole Training
Hello and thank you for commenting. Have we trained live together or via some of the online seminars I have done? Stay safe.
Yes we have
