The S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM™ Combative Philosophy: Applications & Implications for Personal & Professional Self-Defense

Blauer Tactical Confrontation Management Systems® research the startle/flinch phenomena and its link to the survival system’s withdrawal reflex has spawned one of the most important evolutions in close quarter training: the S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM™, which utilizes the speed and reliability of the startle/flinch mechanism to convert the sudden attack into a tactical counter. Most importantly, this system will not interfere with your current training and in fact it is most easily used as a bridge to any complex motor skill transition.

The S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM™ is a 'behaviorally' researched, close quarter personal defense method that utilizes the body's natural flinches and reactions to fear or violence and then converts these reactions into efficient tactical choices. Because the system is "Genetically wired and behaviorally inspired™", anybody can learn it and everybody can do it.

It is the result of over two decades of research. The S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM™ is so direct and efficient, it is currently being adopted by major law enforcement and military training units across the globe.

REMEMBER...IN YOUR FIGHT, YOU ARE POINT.

Irrespective of your training, if the opponent is in your face, it's now your fight. And while there may be legal or professional rules of engagement, its also now a very personal moment. If you can't subdue this threat, it is likely that you will not accomplish your task within the professional mission and likely the confrontation will also have impact on your personal situation.

THE ANSWER: TOTALITY IN TRAINING..

While 'totality' may appear to be grandiose, the reference is merely a philosophically based argument that suggests that 'we' must look carefully at the combative arena, the environment and specifically the opponent through a disciplined threat assessment filter. This will enable us to customize training to provide the greatest tactical advantage for the next engagement.


"The superior fighter has no emotional attachment to any particular range of combat."
-BTCMS Maxim

Our methodology seeks to improve spontaneous effective modification or adaptability of the warrior's arsenal. This includes personal tools (body/mind) as well as tactical tools (all other weapons). My message has always been to be diverse, skilled in all ranges. If push comes to shove you must have no physical preference, no emotional attachment to a range, only then you can make a calm, calculated, strategic choice and force the confrontation to the range that suits the situation.

We invite you to explore this important and innovative training program and feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

Train Hard & Stay Safe,


Tony Blauer
President & CEO
Blauer Tactical Systems, Inc.

I first met Tony Blauer 5 years ago at a special meeting at the GORE-Tex facility in PA. I was impressed with Tony's skill and ability to teach and immediately invited him to Texas for a TTPOA sponsored event in Baytown. His approach to training and his methods were unique. His philosophy was different than conventional training; everything was about converting the Murphy Moment during extreme close quarter situations. The class of SWAT operators ran through basics of Blauer's SPEAR System that included handgun & long gun transitions, weapon defense & groundfighting. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves, not just because Tony is a dedicated teacher, but because his tactics were really simple and practical, and in fact, within a month of the class, this simple introduction to the SPEAR System helped save the of life of one of our officers who found himself face-to-face with an armed suspect about to fire at him. As the suspect turned to fire, the officer, used an actual drill from Blauer's class and intercepted the gunmen's arm with the, stepped into the assault simultaneously engaging the suspect with his own firearm; the ability for the SPEAR System to blend with the firearms transition was crucial to this officer's success. We even wrote about the incident in our COMMAND magazine. Because of successes like these and the practicality of Tony's research we've had him back for TTPOA conferences as well as advanced SWAT classes. While Tony's physical tactics are effective and work well under stress, his most important contributions to officer safety & survival training are his research into mind-set, fear management and the psychology of performance.
