The missing link: Tony Blauer's SPEAR System®

After a lifetime of martial arts exposure, training, research, and exploration, including Tae Kwon Do as a child, and later Gracie Jui Jitsu Combatives, traditional boxing, JKD and Krav Maga as an adult, everything seemed to be missing something- the element of stress AND FEAR when confronted with real world, sudden violence. 

When training on a schedule, on a mat, in a uniform or workout attire, with a partner who is not trying to injure, relocate, or kill you, one has Awareness, Consent, and Preparation to practice, spar, train, compete, etc. This ACP as Coach Tony Blauer has termed it, does not exist in full when ambushed, or truly targeted by 'jack in the box' violence. And when that stress and fear spikes, and the physiological effects of the associated neurotransmitters go to work, most if not all of that mat and dojo training is unavailable for access and deployment. 

Once I discovered Coach Blauer and began training with him, it became clear that the missing link was three-fold-no one that I was training with or reading from was addressing how to detect and diffuse imminent danger, how to manage the fear spike and how to discern the difference between its psychological and physiological expressions, and how to understand and capitalize on what Coach Blauer calls the body's natural, organic airbag - the startle/flinch response. 

The SPEAR System® bridges the gap and decreases the gap time between stimulus and response. It's already in you- we can now refine it and polish it!  Your instinct will automatically make the choice to 'Choose Safety' (Coach Blauer), you can too! -Coach Ahanu Waters

Choose Safety

Tony Blauer's SPEAR System®

 "Your ability to protect yourself or a loved one is inarguably the single most important skill you can possess." -Coach Tony Blauer 

Coach Blauer’s focus, our mission and path, has not wavered since he began teaching real-world self-defense in 1979… He has been on the cutting-edge of reality-based training for the self-defense world ever since. His goal has always been to make the world safer. Starting with you. 

We are proud to be an authorized affiliate of the Blauer SPEAR System®  


 The ability to protect yourself or a loved one is the single greatest skill you could possess. What if learning how to protect yourself was much easier than you thought? That was the inspiration Coach Blauer had over thirty years ago. He noticed that no one really used technical martial arts in real confrontations. 

When you train with us you will learn: 

● How to reconnect with your intuition and instincts. 

● How to recognize a fear spike and how to listen to its signals and, most importantly, how to manage fear. 

● Simple, functional movements based on how real people move 

● How to reconnect to the human weapon system. 

● That 80% of confrontations could have been avoided. 

● The Three D’s: How to detect danger, how to defuse and de-escalate and, if push comes to shove, to defend. 

● A simple and practical system that’s congruent with your emotional psychological state during a confrontation. 


The SPEAR System®  can be used by anyone looking for a simple and effective system of self-protection. The Blauer SPEAR System® ’s approach to self-defense will reawaken your situational awareness and teach you a patented approach to identifying and managing fear; the program includes an effective verbal de-escalation system and the most raw and direct approach to personal defense using natural biomechanics. 


Learn more on the SPEAR System® : 

Blauer Tactical Systems® research on 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 SPEAR System®, which utilizes the speed and reliability of the startle/flinch mechanism to convert the sudden attack into a tactical counter.

The SPEAR System® is considered the world’s first and only behaviorally based close self-defense system. It is based on science, psychology, and human biomechanics. It uses hard-wired reflexes to enhance personal defense by improving anyone’s ability to detect, intercept, and defend a sudden close quarter ambush. 

The SPEAR System® is not a martial art, nor does it replace other martial art systems.  SPEAR is the study of human movement as it relates to violence, fear, and aggression.

FAQ

Please reach out to ahanu@thefossorial.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

 The spear tip is our symbol. It is the first weapon developed by our ancestors to keep their families alive. As a weapon, it uses the same kinetic chain as the startle-flinch response. This protective system allowed humans to evolve since modern man began exploring the planet 80,000 years ago. 

  • Our program is the only personal defense program based entirely on this science.
  • This makes our program safe, simple and effective.
  • We have a singular mission to help make good humans safer. ‪


 At BTS, we will focus on three things: Service, Loyalty and Commitment. We will apply these concepts to everything we do.

  • Service – to serve others before ourselves with humility and professionalism
  • Loyalty – to be faithful to each other, to those we serve and to the organization
  • Commitment – to be obliged to each other, the program, the company, those we serve and our process. To be completely enthusiastic about our individual and organizational growth


 Very simple:  We don't like liars, IP thieves, predators, criminals and terrorists.  


Science: Our system is the world's only behaviorally based self-protection method based entirely on physiology, kinesiology, physics, and psychology. 

Simple: All our movements are based on how 'humans actually' move.  We don't teach memorized patterns or complicated techniques.

Legal: In the real world, "force must parallel danger", our system is congruent with every moral, ethical and legal directive. 

Totality: Our methodology is holistic. It's based on emotional awareness & intelligence, modern psychology and practical & functional movement. Students of our courses are taught how to avoid, de-escalate and if all else fails, how to protect themselves. 

Proven: Since 2003, our clients have been the police, the military and other first-responders. For over two decades the Blauer Tactical company has been a trusted resource for good people who actually fight real bad-guys. If our system works for them, it'll work for you.like liars, IP thieves, predators, criminals and terrorists.  


 

  • Self-defense predates all martial arts. People fought way before martial styles were developed. Coach Blauer asked the question: "How did they fight if there were no karate schools?".
  • Coach Blauer then spent 20 years reverse-engineering a system of personal defense that incorporates how our reptilian brain reacts to danger and sudden violence and then he developed strategies and drills so that our cognitive brains could recognize and integrate these movements - in doing so, he developed the first behaviorally-based self-defense system.
  • The SPEAR System® is entirely based on a survival reflex that helped our ancestors evolve - it truly is the evolution of Paleolithic Self-Defense. We lovingly refer to it as: Caveman Kung Fu
  • The SPEAR System® uses primal and gross-motor movements instead of the complex martial art movements that permeate the martial art and defensive tactics world. This makes it easier to learn and simpler to use.
  • The catalyst for the SPEAR conversion is hard-wired in you. We will teach you how to convert the startle-flinch, and redirect that kinetic energy into a spontaneous protective tactic that virtually any human can perform (regardless of age training or gender).
  • Everyone will be safer if they learn our system regardless of their experience or profession.
  • Listen to Coach Blauer explain this theory on the 'evolution of personal safety, what he lovingly calls: "Caveman Kung fu"


 

 

  • SPEAR is like connective tissue, and when taught properly, it is a bridge between the reactive brain and the cognitive brain and speeds up the transition time in a confrontation, helping the defender move from primal, gross-motor to trained complex motor skills.
  • SPEAR is the only non-gender, non-age, non occupation biased protective system. If you are human you can do this.
  • Because it is built around real science, and has strong medical and legal merit, it is court defensible.
  • Because SPEAR is based on instinctive movement, it is the fastest system to learn, it is also the least perishable and most economical for sustainment training.
  • SPEAR has the lowest injury rate in the world. Integrating instinctive and natural movement, that scientifically uses the body's primal and gross motor skills, immediately reduces both injuries in training and as well as in actual confrontations. (An independent study was conducted in the United Kingdom by Dorset police and the statistics revealed a 41% drop in head injuries. *If your are LE/MIL or active first-responder you can email us from your .GOV email and receive a copy of this report and research ).
  • Incorporating the SPEAR System® will reduce reaction time but more importantly it will reduce liability.
