Methodology
The curriculum for this workshop is based on Tony Blauer’s PDR/SPEAR system, which uses a '3-Dimensional' theory that creates confidence on emotional, psychological, and physical levels. We’ll approach self-defense as a holistic problem, which means we’ll look at awareness and avoidance strategies and verbal defusing skills, not just physical drills (though we do those too).
The Personal Defense Readiness program is widely acknowledged as being on the cutting edge of personal safety training. This workshop will flow from mind-set, to contact, to confrontation, using the PDR’s unique Three D's model: Detect, Defuse, Defend. Using Non-Violent Postures™ students will learn how to identify pre-contact cues, position for interception, and how to convert the startle-flinch to intercept the ambush.
The S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM™ is the first genetically & behaviorally inspired self-defense method of it's kind. It is the only self-defense method that fully integrates the body's reflexive responses and instinctive survival mechanisms, making the S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM™ the easiest, most natural way to protect yourself.
