Three Exclusive Personal Defense Training Opportunities!

Blauer Tactical Systems (BTS) is offering training opportunities for Personal Defense Readiness™ (PDR™), a self-defense method that fully integrates the body's reflexive responses and instinctive survival mechanisms. 

PDR is based on S.P.E.A.R. System™ research, which is a 'genetically' inspired self-defense system, meaning PDR is totally behaviorally based.  The PDR program includes scenario training and integrates Blauer Tactical’s HIGH GEAR™ training equipment, making PDR a total tactical package like no other.

For over 20 years, BTS has pioneered research, strategies and tactics for self-defense and combative training. The PDR system is a complete confrontation management system designed specifically for police, military, security operators, martial artists and self-defense instructors.  The PDR program can easily integrate with your current martial art or self-defense curriculum and/or be taught as a 'stand-alone' program.

The PDR curriculum is based on a '3-Dimensional' theory that creates confidence on emotional, psychological and physical levels.  PDR teaches realistic self-defense skills that are street applicable.  Students are exposed to aggressive as well as defensive role playing to simulate encounters and to prepare them to react ethically, as well as decisively, to real-life aggression. PDR covers verbal defusing tactics, choice speech principles and a host of other behaviorally researched strategies.

PDR BENEFITS
If your goal is to run a quality program, PDR allows you to enhance your student’s lives and teaching with integrity.  Add a new dimension to your school…become a PDR Instructor and discover the benefits.

• Associating with BTS through the PDR Program is an asset to you whether you’re just starting out teaching self-defense or already an established leader in your community.
• PDR takes a completely different approach to self-defense training and makes it possible to assess your confrontation management skills.
• The program is a 'coaches' system. Our focus is performance under pressure, managing fear and enhancing capacity.
• The PDR system fosters respect for yourself and others by developing virtues like self discipline, humility, assertiveness and character. Since our program is so focused around the managing of one's fears, it directly works the 'esteem' and 'ego' centers of anyone sincerely working the system.  Ultimately this process helps lead one to greater self-knowledge and personal evolution.
• Committed training also provides an excellent method to acquire overall physical fitness, improved strength, cardiovascular conditioning, weight management and coordination.
• The PDR program provides professionals with a business edge, while the PDR Fundamentals Coach Certification is about effecting the individual instructor’s self-actualization, an important paradigm shift in ensuring that your personal skills continue to grow and evolve.

Testimonial #1
“I enjoyed every aspect of the course and learned a hell of a lot. As you can imagine, coming from England and not from a martial arts background, I was a bit apprehensive if I was going to fit in.  But from the beginning of the course I felt at ease, there were no egos from people’s backgrounds and from the first drill we learned it showed me that in the initial ambush moment it was your natural defense system that would prove to be your best defense.  I feel more confident as a trainer now knowing that I do not have to replace what I am doing already, but can improve my training courses by integrating the PDR/S.P.E.A.R. drills and psychology, enhancing my students’ skill level.” —Keith Butchard – UK

Testimonial #2
“I finally got to experience what Blauer Tactical is all about.  I have been a fan for years now and always threatened to come over and take a course, as any article I had ever read about BTS just made so much sense.  During the course and also in some of the DVDs I hear the 'light bulb moment' mentioned, and there were so many of them.

Being involved in competitive and traditional martial arts for almost 19 years and seeing the flaws in its self-defense syllabus made me go and search for an effective method to substitute the ridiculous one I was involved in at the time.  I then began a search for a REAL system and I can really say that up until last week, I have never experienced a personal protection system so complete in its method in the 12 years that I have been actively involved in 'reality-based self defense' as I did when I had the honor of training with Coach Blauer and the BTS coaches.  The delivery system, teaching methods, the professionalism of the company AND the standard of the coaches really blew me away.”  —Daragh Bolton – Ireland

Testimonial #3
“…When I decided to apply for the seminar…everything I read by Tony made sense; all the videos I had watched on the drills and the theory behind the drills went together and reinforced each other.  The idea of taking a natural response and converting it into a tactical response resonated with me.  I had been studying the material intently for the past several months and knew that the behavioral and psychological ideas behind Blauer Tactical Systems made real world sense.” —Larry James – USA
