““Tony! I am a BIG fan of your work. I think that your contributions have taken the warrior community into an entirely new evolutionary step. And this new program of yours is a major step forward. We have learned more about the psychology and physiology of combat in the last 50 years than in the previous 5,000 years put together. And in the distant future Tony Blauer is referred to as “Saint Blauer.” This is an inside joke, half in jest between friends, but it is also half in truth. I believe that hundreds of years from now, when the history of this Warrior Renaissance, this Golden Age of Warriors, is written, that Tony Blauer will be remembered as one of the great pioneers who propelled us forward to the next evolutionary step in warriorhood. And you can quote me on that!””
““The Man, The Myth, The Legend, Forever My Coach Tony Blauer, this man has taught me more about actual “Coaching” Human Beings than almost everybody else combined. I’ve known Tony over 15 years now; much of the success that I have had Coaching world-class fighters can often be directly attributed to my years of training under this man whether you are one of my Muay Thai World Champions, UFC Fighters, Kravists, or CrossFit Athletes. When I coach, I’m using many of his principles day in and day out. If I’ve helped you as a Coach through the years, you owe this man right here a heartfelt THANK YOU!!! So say it with me, thanks Coach Blauer for being the trailblazer, I know it’s a lonely road being an innovator...just know you are appreciated more than you know by the people that matter.””
““The research and dedication that Blauer and his coaches provided were mind-blowing. The information helped solidify my respect and passion for the training. The drills and demos were fantastic, and it helped me, as Coach Blauer puts it, “peel away more layers of the onion”. If anyone has the means and opportunity to attend, it is truly a must.””
““The PDR session was a “wall of information” that provided a roadmap and reframe as to how I viewed true self-defense as an end user and more importantly as a teacher. It provided valid processes based on physical facts that allowed me to develop, troubleshoot and present all aspects of self-defense in a manner that previously was based on “tradition without substance”. ”
A MUST READ
"The wisdom of his teaching and the genius of his system slowly became my own. Years of memorized martial arts “moves” were replaced with lightning-fast instinctual responses. Where fear once existed, a vast psychological arsenal stood in its place. As a result, I am more aware, more prepared, and more dangerous to bad guys. I would never trade my decades of traditional martial arts training. However, I can say without exaggeration that I found as much information, confidence, and truth in a weekend with Tony Blauer as I had in a veritable lifetime of studying classical karate technique.”
-Gary J. Khoury
““Tony Blauer has dedicated not years, but decades to the diligent study of interpersonal violence and what happens for “real” and not only on the “mat”. I use Tony’s instruction and principles daily... the most important thing that I can say is that if I had to send a member of my family to learn personal protective skills, that would be no hesitation, it would be Tony Blauer.” ”
““I attended my first PDR and was inundated with powerful and thought-provoking ideas... I began teaching the SPEAR System® exclusively in my school...all my students had benefited immensely from the “Blauer Effect”, and were passing it on to their families and friends.””
“For those who might be contemplating their first PDR training session: What are you waiting for?? JUST DO IT!! It'll be some of the best time and money you ever spent. Beyond the physical drills..... beyond the self-defense training..... the psychological principles are so powerful, that I find I use many of them EVERY SINGLE DAY. The PDR program has honestly changed my life....... in too many ways for me to count!!
-Adam LaClair
““I had done Wing Chun for many years, tried out Krav Maga, Thai Boxing, and Submission Wrestling, etc and while they were/are all awesome I still knew that something big was missing. I now know what was missing and I also know that I came to right place.”
”
““I have been training in and using operationally, the SPEAR System® for nearly ten years... The more I study it, the deeper and deeper I plunge down the rabbit hole. When I try to track down the intuitive leaps of thought he had 10, 15 & 20 years ago I find scientists on the cutting edge ‘proving’ what he said.””
The SPEAR System® is the only system in the world vetted by doctors on three continents.
