WHY HIGH GEAR?

Our Story

In 1980, Coach Tony Blauer developed a drill called "The Panic Attack”. This unique force-on-force scenario drill inspired him to design HIGH GEAR.

WHAT MAKES

HIGH GEAR DIFFERENT

We built it around the role-player’s movement requirements. We wanted the bad guy to be able to replicate an actual attack in real environments.

IMPACT REDUCTION DESIGN

A Message From Coach Tony Blauer

If your scenario gear is too bulky, it eliminates the ‘fear’ of impact. You need this to really develop the proper mindset. If your gear is too thick, it offers too much protection and you know that the gear will protect you. Again, this changes how you think and move. My thought process is that to learn to protect yourself, you must respect the danger. You will not be wearing a padded suit in a real confrontation! With this in mind, I spent 5-years (yes 5!) designing this suit. I tested various foams and plastics until I found the right styles, thickness, and configuration so that the gear transferred impact but also dispersed it. The result was a suit that let you know when you screwed up!

Revolutionary Training Gear

This New Gear Revolutionized Scenario Training.

The helmet design allowed role-players to speak clearly.

The streamlined, ergonomic design allowed role-players to move naturally - just like in real life.

Only in High Gear® could training partners behave like real adversaries in a real confrontation.

The High Gear® suit allowed combat athletes to move fluidly so their art or style could be tested while wearing gear.

Conquer the Chaos

Master Close Combat Training

Training in High Gear® provides a fast-track to developing more competence, confidence, and a deep understanding of what works and what doesn’t in a real confrontation.

It helps both role-players understand violence in a more visceral way.

This helps participants learn to manage fear and stay focused on tactics that work under pressure.

Proactive Tactics Unleashed

The video was made a year after Blauer Tactical ran the Singapore Police trainers through several custom courses from SPEAR System® Essentials to our BMF Scenario Training and our PSD drills. We created specific scenarios for their AO. You'll immediately recognize our High Gear and if you understand the foundational principle of the SPEAR System fingers splayed/arms outside 90 - you'll see it used to counter every ambush in almost every contact drill. The proactive version of the SPEAR tactic is then applied to their crowd penetration scenarios.
