Coach Tony Blauer has been in the martial art, self-defense, defensive tactics, and combatives industry for over
four decades. He founded Blauer Tactical Systems (BTS) in 1985 and it has grown into one of the world's leading consulting companies specializing in the research and development of performance psychology, personal safety, and close
quarter tactics & scenario-based training for law enforcement, military, and professional self-defense
instructors.
His research on the neuroscience of fear and the startle-flinch led to the development of the SPEAR
System®
a modern personal defense system based on physiology, physics, and psychology. It has been
used by defensive tactics and combative trainers all over the world for over 30 years.
He developed the world's first impact-reduction scenario-based training equipment, called High Gear
which revolutionized force-on-force training for police, SWAT, and military organizations.
After decades of interviewing victims of violent encounters and studying violence, he created the
KNOW FEAR® program which focuses on managing fear through self-awareness, resiliency, and a
'movement' mindset. This program has also been integrated by psychologists helping Vets to deal with
PTSD.
Mr. Blauer's programs have influenced over three decades of trainers and coaches as well as most
contemporary reality-based martial artists.
