Make Good Humans Safer.

That's been the work since 1977.

Fear isn't the enemy. It's the energy.

Tony Blauer is a researcher, instructor, and self-defense entrepreneur with 45 years of empirical work in the fields of personal defense, fear management, and performance psychology.

He is the creator of the SPEAR System®, HIGH GEAR®, KNOW FEAR®, Be Your Own Bodyguard®, Evidence-Based Scenario Training®, the Cycle of Behavior®, and SPEAR Care® — an original body of trademarked work used in classrooms, training centers, military units, and clinical practices around the world. He is also the host of the KNOW FEAR® Podcast and the author of The Tony Blauer SPEAR System®.

His research focuses on the behavioral and physiological response to sudden violence — the startle-flinch reflex, fear as the primary opponent at the moment of confrontation, and the role of primal gross-motor movement when complex skill breaks down under threat. His methodology moves from neurobiology to physiology to kinesiology, in that order.

““Hearing Tony present is like listening to a philosophy professor, a neuroscientist, and a world champion combat athlete explain the secrets of the universe.
Tony is a coach in the purest sense of the word. It is obvious that he lives to add value, be useful, and serve. He managed to exceed the already high expectations that I had going into working with him.

Tony challenged my beliefs and mindsets and served as an expert guide, lighting the path to becoming a better martial artist, and more importantly, a better human being.

Working with Tony is an experience you’ll look back on and wish you had done sooner. He receives my highest recommendation.””
— AJ Madden, Professional Coach For Business Owners and Executives
