What is the S.P.E.A.R. system?

• Spontaneous
• Protection
• Enabling
• Accelerated
• Response

The S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM™ is a 'behaviorally' researched, close quarter personal defense method that utilizes the body's natural flinches and reactions to fear or violence and then converts these reactions into efficient tactical choices. Because the system is "Genetically wired and behaviorally inspired™", anybody can learn it and everybody can do it.

All confrontations are psychological and emotional, and since most have only ever trained the physical aspects, they only have 33% of the picture. So you need to ask yourself. Is that something I am willing to settle with?

It is the result of over two decades of research. The S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM™ is so direct and efficient, it is currently being adopted by major law enforcement and military training units across the globe.

Why you need it?

The great miscalculation of most systems is that they don’t investigate how stress affects neuromuscular control. Their training, for the most part, consists of static drills performed in a controlled environment.

Outside the classroom, in he real world, fights don’t start with the lapel grab or the lunge punch. They start way before that with the arguing and shoving that habitually precedes the actual physical attack. And it is during those preliminary moments that the fight is either won or lost. Therefore, it is most important to study how and why stress determines the emotional balance of us all.

My classes

Group sessions are available as well as private instruction. All classes are tailored to meet the needs of each individual or group. Mere technique is not enough to survive a fight. Anyone sincerely interested in street effectiveness must examine how varying levels of stress and awareness will effect their reaction time and responses. This is what we strive for when we teach Personal Defense Readiness, and this is what sets us apart from the rest.
