The SPEAR: PDR Program

Teaching self-defense is serious business.

If you're ready to take on that responsibility read this page

To make the world safer, we need passionate, motivated, and conscientious trainers. We have spent decades refining and developing this process. We have been running 'train-the-trainer' courses for over thirty years and we'd like you to join our mission.

Blauer's training is widely respected because it emphasizes scenario-based learning, stress inoculation, and behaviorally driven tactics. His programs help officers and soldiers improve their ability to react under high-stress situations, ensuring they can effectively defend themselves and others when facing unexpected violence.

Scientifically Engineered Self-Defense

Tony Blauer's SPEAR System® is the new paradigm of combatives training. As a law enforcement officer, use of force trainer, and academician, I have studied the efficacy of use of force tactics and techniques for well over a decade and have concluded that the SPEAR System® is the most comprehensive combatives program currently available. The system has also become the genesis and springboard of my professional research and training. The reason is simple: the SPEAR System® is 'totality in training'. I will never again train or live without its principles.

Next-Generation Self-Defense Solutions

Scientifically Engineered Self-Defense

Kirik Jenness, President, MMA.TV, New England Submission Fighting

"Tony's work is the definition of inclusiveness, and can't be captured under a single word. A BJJ player and a Thai Boxer will both find the material equally useful in increasing their ability to defend themselves on the street. That statement may seem unbelievable. All I can say is discover it for yourself."

Matt Furey, World Kung Fu Champion, National Champion Wrestler

"Tony Blauer fills in the gaps that other martial artists never think about when teaching self-defense. Leaving no stones unturned, Tony places your mind in the forefront, where it belongs, then gives you the physical skills and tools to get the job done. You will learn a lot from this man. I sure have."

Pavel Tsatsouline, Author of The Russian Kettlebell Challenge

"Tony Blauer will take your natural reactions and rewire them to serve the purpose of keeping you alive and on top of the game. Old dogs who supposedly cannot learn new tricks, take note: the SPEAR System is easily integrated with whichever CQC or martial arts skills you already have."

Vincent Fields, President, Realistic Martial Arts Training Association

"I have been studying Tony Blauer's material since the mid 90's and I can't say enough good things about it. It is truly the missing link for someone who just trains mixed martial arts or any individual martial arts style."

Burton Richardson, Jeet Kune Do Unlimited

"Tony Blauer is not just on the cutting edge of mental preparedness, he is the cutting edge. I have already learned many invaluable tools from Tony, and I know that I have just scratched the surface of his extensive research."

Robert Suggs, Ph.D 5th Degree Tang Soo Do Captain, USNR (Ret)

"A comprehensive holistic system ... in my opinion, the equivalent of Einstein's E = MC2 for the self-defense field ... I make this statement based on 27 years in the martial arts and extensive experience in the military."

You can help.

The ability to protect yourself or a loved one is inarguably the single most important skill you can possess.

Our focus, our mission, and our path has not wavered since we began teaching real-world self-defense in 1979... We have been on the cutting-edge of reality-based training for the self-defense world ever since.
