  • That 80% of confrontations could have been avoided.

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.
