VIOLENCE DOESN'T CARE WHAT MARTIAL ART YOU STUDY
Quickly learn how to weaponize your flinch response, and turn fear into courage .

THE COMPLETE HUMAN WEAPON SYSTEM PROGRAM
Our online course doesn't just teach you physical techniques; it goes beyond that. Tony Blauer's SPEAR System® delves deep into fear management and psychological preparedness.
Learning to defend oneself provides numerous practical benefits, including personal safety, confidence, fitness, and preparedness. It equips individuals with the skills and mindset necessary to navigate challenging situations effectively while promoting personal growth and a greater understanding of nonviolent conflict resolution.
Personal safety: Learning self-defense enhances your ability to protect yourself in dangerous situations.
Deterrence and prevention: Self-defense training can act as a deterrent, making you less likely to be targeted by attackers.
Self-discipline and focus: Develop self-discipline, focus, and mental agility through self-defense practice.
"The simplicity, practicality, and dynamic effectiveness of the training is nothing short of brilliant! I am a 67-year-old grandfather, former Army Special Forces with cursory training in Tae Kwon Do, Judo, and Muay Thai. None of my prior training emphasized the psychological, physiological, or tactical elements. The Be Your Own Bodyguard does so in a way that made it easy to understand the purpose of each element and implement them effectively the first time. I know I am better prepared to deal with bad actors after just one day." -Marty G Martin

“This is the most well-thought-out and complete self-defense course there is. I have been training in personal defense, firearms, and self-defense for years and I’ve never left a class feeling this empowered.”
“Hearing Tony present is like listening to a philosophy professor, a neuroscientist, and a world-champion combat athlete explain the secrets of the universe. ”
“I have been a HUGE fan/proponent of SPEAR and have been a Garage Gym member since the beginning. I love how well you explained the form in the Human Weapon System program. I am currently about 50% through the program - reviewing the basics in this course gave me a much deeper understanding of why we do things than I had before and I thought I already had a pretty good grasp of it. Thank you for continuing to give me a deeper understanding of real violence and a better coach to my students.”
“”I have been following you for about 2 decades now, I already knew most of this, but the way it is organized is an amazing refresher course for me.””
““I’ve followed your system for years and I’ve already picked up more than I ever have before.””

BE YOUR OWN BODYGUARD®
“Having attended over 104 contact hours of Tony Blauer’s courses and studied an additional 200+ hours of seminars and DVD videos, it is my professional opinion that Mr. Blauer’s combatives system possesses the requisite scientific applications in research that make his system “scientific”. The SPEAR System® is a “total combatives system” that is intrinsically inclined—based upon kinesiology, physiology, neurobiology, and other, natural sciences. ”
“The SPEAR system® utilizes instinctive motion to effect a combative change in both participants. Its effectiveness is grounded in basic physiology and as a result, although initially apparently simple it is fundamentally as complex as the system it is designed to protect, humans.”
“The flinch response is a well recognised reflex response in which the threatened subject adopts an automatic protective posture. The SPEAR system® promotes recognition of the flinch response to sudden potentially threatening stimuli and advocates a system of self-defence that commences from the postural position the response produces. As the resultant posture from the startle response is one we cannot choose, it makes sense that techniques of defence in sudden ambush start from this position”
