		<description><![CDATA[One of the most dangerous scenarios faced by police officers is when they are clearly outnumbered. Officers typically patrol by themselves or with a partner, yet routinely find themselves interviewing, patting down, and detaining groups of four or more subjects. These scenarios usually play out peacefully, and for that reason, become an easy way to develop the potentially bad habits known as Presumed Compliance and Complacency.]]></description>

“All truth passes through three Stages:
First it is ridiculed,
Second it is violently opposed
Third it is accepted as being self-evident.”
- Arthur Schopenhauer (1830)
Blauer Tactical Systems has unquestionably redefined the whole issue of close quarter combatives. By applying sustained innovative pressure to the S.P.E.A.R. System it remains in a continual state of flux. In Tony Blauer’s [...]]]></description>

Not sure if you&#8217;ve read the news lately but the world we live in doesn&#8217;t seem to be getting any safer.  Moving at the speed of life can lead you to a very sudden, very permanent stop these days.  But how can we possibly learn everything [...]]]></description>

Sometimes you need to be more precise, sometimes you need to be faster. Using this concept, most defensive shooting can be described in the following way: You need to get the hit that you need to get as quickly as you can get it. This statement can [...]]]></description>

Overview:
Under close scrutiny, we find that there are inherent deficiencies in many modern martial arts systems in regards to self defense practice. Of these, the propensity for students to always practice personal protection from a position of tactical “advantage” is perhaps the most dangerous.
Similarly, it seems that far too few schools these days understand—much less [...]]]></description>

For many years, much “squabbling” has occurred in procuring the best model of success for achieving proficiency in armed and unarmed conflicts. With a lack of similar and interchangeable defensive tactics and firearm programs at the academy level, and an ever increasing field of commercial use-of-force systems, discerning a certain and appropriate use-of-force program for [...]]]></description>

Like many concepts in the system, on the surface, it is simple to grasp.  However as our coaching experience grows, we find deeper meaning and ways to make the message more powerful for [...]]]></description>
