A MUST READ
"Following my first PDR weekend, I spent hours studying the seminar material. As questions arose, I corresponded with Coach Blauer and other PDR attendees. Soon, Coach Blauer’s “uncommon sense” became clearer and clearer to me. The wisdom of his teaching and the genius of his system slowly became my own. Years of memorized martial arts “moves” were replaced with lightning-fast instinctual responses. Where fear once existed, a vast psychological arsenal stood in its place. Today, I feel I am a far better “3-Dimensional” fighter. I train and prepare myself for real-world violence emotionally and psychologically—not just physically anymore. As a result, I am more aware, more prepared, and more dangerous to bad guys. Would never trade my decades of traditional martial arts training. However, I can say without exaggeration that I found as much information, confidence, and truth in a weekend with Tony Blauer as I had in a veritable lifetime of studying classical karate technique.”

LIFE CHANGING
“For those who might be contemplating their first PDR training session: What are you waiting for?? JUST DO IT!! It'll be some of the best time and money you ever spent. Beyond the physical drills..... beyond the self-defense training..... the psychological principles are so powerful, that I find I use many of them EVERY SINGLE DAY. Remember - Tony's company is called Tactical CONFRONTATION MANAGEMENT Systems. And that is just what everyday life often is: Managing a series of continual confrontations and conflicts. We have confrontation in our private lives, in our personal relationships, and in our professional positions. The PDR is more than just a "how to fight" course........ it is a "how to deal with people on all levels" course. The PDR program has honestly changed my life....... in too many ways for me to count!!
Lastly, we all owe it to ourselves and our loved ones to have the absolute best material and drills to work from. For those who are actively teaching, we also owe it to our students to maintain a level of diligence in our continuing education within the system, in order to coach them the best that we possibly can. I strongly encourage each and every person who has attended a PDR basic instructor's weekend to follow it up with additional, regular training. You won't regret it, I know I don't.
Hope to train with you at a session soon!!”
