PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM TONY BLAUER
All:
We're not about to slow down this fall. We have a barrage of courses, including: S.P.E.A.R. System: Operator Course; Personal Defense Readiness: Instructor Certification; Combat Focus Shooting and S.P.E.A.R. Fundamentals; and a S.P.E.A.R. Instructor Course at our HQ in Virginia Beach, VA. We're back in the UK for another sold-out S.P.E.A.R. Certification in November.
In addition, I will be a guest speaker at the Bicoastal Counter-Terrorism Summit and at Tactical Evolution: Conference for Police, Military & Corrections. I’ll be lecturing on warrior mindset and how physiology affects our tactical choices in extreme close quarters combat.
Lastly, I'm real excited about the combo class I'm doing with Rob Pincus. I've known Rob for about 10 years and he's attended our S.P.E.A.R. Certification, Personal Defense Readiness, Ballistic Micro-Fight Scenario Instructor courses and many of our camps. I finally got to attend his two-day CFS course after all these years! I had a blast (pun intended)!
On day 1 of our class, I'll be teaching S.P.E.A.R. & PDR related concepts and skills that will focus on weathering the ambush, then breaking contact, which will create space for Rob to inject Combat Focus Shooting (CFS) principles. I look forward to shooting with you on day 2 of the upcoming course.
Train Hard,
