Blauer Tactical Systems Maxim

"Don't show your students what you can do; show them what they can do".

This is a pretty deep maxim, especially in the arena of self defense. All you need to do is go onto Youtube and there are plenty of videos of "senseis" performing "one touch" knockouts on their student who is passively standing there. (I can't embed the video but here is an example of crap being taught and money being taken by some unsuspecting person who will actually believe in this garbage.- click on the title)

One thing I am very impressed with by the Blauer instruction team is that they are passionate about SPEAR (Spontaneous Protection Enabling Accelerated Response), they made it very clear that you must earn your certificate (no "I attended the cert, so I get the shirt" mentality)they use realistic drills based from realistic scenarios using movements really used in a street situation. They also used alot of realtime fight/attack videos and broke down the physiology of the fight. There is no " you attacked me wrong" mentality. In addition, everyone attending the certification came from a variety of law enforcement entities, local, state and federal. Everyone picked up the drills quickly, and received quality attention/instruction from the instructors. I can't recommend this course highly enough.
