FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does Spear Stand for?

Spontaneous Protection Enabling Accelerated Response. It is the scientific study of human movement as it relates to violence, fear, and aggression.

How long has Tony Blauer been teaching The SPEAR System?

Tony Blauer started self defense in 1980. His constant, empirical research into the psychology of human confrontations led to the birth of The SPEAR System® in 1988. He started teaching the System to law enforcement and military personnel in 1993.

Is it a combination of different martial arts?

The SPEAR System® is a three dimensional pedagogy of human movement and behavior. Because humans move in limited and predictable ways, some of the movements of the system may resemble martial arts. However the emphasis of The SPEAR System® is on self-defense and our close quarter arsenal was developed to be bio-mechanically efficient.

Which course should I take first?

All are courses and research are inter-related so you can start in any course. We suggest however that you start with the SPEAR Instructor Certification as it thoroughly presents the science behind all the courses.

How long will I have to practice in order to be able to use it in self-defense?

The SPEAR System® is based on our body’s physiological responses. This makes it the easiest system to practice and retain. Although individual progress is always different, we constantly receive testimonials on how with very short training sessions -approximately 4 hours - officers and soldiers find they can immediately apply the skills and principles of the System.
