Show Notes

“We are all Human Weapons.” – Tony Blauer

 My guest this episode is Tony Blauer a martial artist, self defense, and combatives instructor for over four decades.  He is the founder of Blauer Tactical Systems which is one of the worlds leading consulting firms specializing in research and development of combative training and equipment for military, law enforcement and self defense communities.

 This Episode is about Tony Blauer’s research into the neuroscience of fear and the startle flinch.  My key take away is that fear impacts everything we do and that Our ability to recognize, and manage fear directly impacts the quality of our life.  We discuss physiology, physics, and the psychology of personal defense, and how that led Coach Blauer to create the SPEAR System.
