About The SPEAR System™

In the field of Close Quarters Combat and Defensive Tactics Instruction there has long been a widespread lack of understanding of the neurophysiological effects of fear and adrenaline, and the so-called “fight or flight” response. An understanding of the body’s responses to ambush is vitally important to developing an effective Defensive Tactics Program. In times of danger, in the ambush moment, in the shock and surprise of a real world attack, one simple law applies: physiology rules.

Over the past 20 years, Tony Blauer, the owner and CEO of Blauer Tactical Confrontation Management Systems (BTCMS), has dissected the realities of violence from virtually every conceivable perspective: psychologically, emotionally and physically. Based on this empirical research, Blauer has created the S.P.E.A.R. System ™: “the first behaviorally inspired method of self protection” ever developed, or as he prefers to say, “behaviorally inspired— genetically wired.” S.P.E.A.R. is an acronym for Spontaneous Protection Enabling Accelerated Response, which is the ultimate aim of the system— responding more readily and effectively to the threat of violence.

Modern research has demonstrated that the S.P.E.A.R. System™ is based on the facts of neurophysiology. Instead of relying on the cognitively based muscle memory techniques common in the vast majority of defensive tactics programs, the S.P.E.A.R. System™ utilizes reflexive, instinctive movements to create a platform from which to first react to and then respond to an assault. If the goal of your department’s Defensive Tactics Program is to better prepare your officers to respond to and survive sudden, aggressive close quarters assaults, you need to be incorporating the S.P.E.A.R. System™.
