On this episode I have a conversation with Tony Blauer. One of the most respected, vetted and renowned combatives instructor in the world.

The Self-Initiative Project, Podcast 42, A Chat With Tony Blauer NOTE: I apologize for the sound quality through parts of this podcast. Unfortunately, we had a bad connection during the call. I have worked to clean it up as best I can. Stick with it though as we had a good conversation; and things do clear up. We welcome Tony Blauer to this episode. Tony was gracious enough to take time out of his busy schedule to sit down and have a chat with me. We had it scheduled for nearly 2 months out. Thanks, Tony. As I previously mentioned, our cellular connection crapped out on us at several points during our conversation. He was breaking up on my end. My voice was garbled on his end; and the cable fell out of my phone twice during the call. I wound up holding my phone over my head for the majority of our conversation in attempt to maintain signal strength. For whatever reason, the cell signal was not good that day. WTH? And if you listen closely at times, you also will likely hear the birds and ducks on Tony's end, as he was sitting outside in his yard. If you do not know who Tony is, you should take some time and get to know him. The programs he has created include the Spear System, Know Fear, and Blauer Tactical Systems; and he is a very accomplished martial artist. He also figured out how to weaponize the startle-flinch response we all have inside us. We talk about the startle-flinch response, the importance of thinking through scenarios, and much, much more. Thanks for listening.

This week I sit down with self-defense expert and entrepreneur Tony Blauer. Tony has spent his life specializing in the art of self-defense and is the founder of Blauer Tactical Systems. Through his SPEAR System, he teaches his students how to “detect, diffuse and defend” and his courses “ Be Your Own Bodyguard “ and “Know Fear” have helped thousands of people from all walks of life manage their fear and turn awareness to advantage. His scientific look at how we can protect ourselves may change your perspective on what self-defense is and no doubt alter how you behave should a confrontational situation ever arise. I don’t know of anyone should doesn’t need to listen to this Podcast or wouldn’t want to protect themselves, their families, and their community in times of trouble. This one is well worth your time!

Bruce Lee was one of the most fascinating and wise individuals in the 20th century. From creating his own hybrid martial arts philosophy (called Jeet Kune Do) to bridging the gap between East and West, Bruce made a huge impact in his short life. While he is most celebrated for his martial arts expertise and philosophies, Bruce has some key insights for business owners that can be applied to this day. To learn more about these lessons from Bruce Lee, we had the pleasure of speaking with Tony Blauer.

From Blauer's website: “Coach Blauer has been in the martial art, self-defense, defensive tactics and combatives industry for almost four decades and is one of the only Combatives experts who has successfully affected training across all the combat related communities: self-defense, combat sports and the military & law enforcement sector. His research on physiology, mind-set as it relates to confrontation management has influenced over three decades of reality-based martial artists.

Max Out Insights: If your life or your dream is on the line, you MUST know how to deal with fear Practicing something over and over again thickens the myelin sheaths of the neurotransmitters, which predisposes you to move or act a certain way In a high-stress situation, your executive functioning can be hijacked by your emotional system The closer you can practice to reality, the more it will help you when it matters Max Out Quotes: “The buffer of making the right decision is your ability to manage fear between stimulus and response.” “Any obstacle and any moment of hesitation in life can be tracked back to a fear spike that made you stop and not think or stop and overthink what`s going on.” “The biggest fight you will ever have is the fight in your head.” “You can`t be brave if you`re not afraid.” “If we change our relationship with fear, we change our life.” “There`s no downside to choosing safety. But there`s a severe downside to ignoring it and finding out your intuition was right.”

And, while he has a passion as a martial artist and had a lot of training in the martial arts and self-defense, he came to the realization that the technical skills he had learned didn't necessarily translate to what actually happens in a physical altercation. His research on self-defense led him to discover a gentleman by the name of Tony Blauer and his system entitled Blauer Tactical Systems, which utilizes the SPEAR method, and was used to instruct police first responders and members of the Military. Dan started Tactical Defense after earning a certification with Tony Blauer, who he still studies under today. In this episode, Dan talks about: How his upcoming personal defense workshop differs from a typical self defense class Gives an overview of the 3 primary tenants of the SPEAR system -- the three Ds - Detect, Defuse/De-escalate, Defend Listeners are invited to attend an upcoming Personal Defense Workshop to be held on April 25, 2020 from noon-5pm at Burg Fitness, which is located at 227 14th Street N, St. Pete, FL 33705 For listeners who are interested in attending the upcoming Personal Defense Workshop mentioned on this podcast, here is a link to the registration page: https://tactical-defense.com/events/personal-defense-workshop-dec2019-4eh23-rgae8 For listeners who are interested in learning more about the GoGuard ring mentioned, you can find more information here: https://tactical-defense.com/products To learn more about Burg Fitness, click here: www.burgfitness.com If you have additional questions or would like to connect with Dan, you can reach him via email at dan@tactical-defense.com or via phone/text at 941-544-2686

Tony Blauer is an entrepreneur and world-renowned personal defense and combatives expert. He’s started hugely successful businesses--but he’s also had the unfortunate experience of trusting the wrong people and having one of his businesses implode at its peak. He has created truly world-changing technologies and ideas, but his inventions have had challenging births and the world didn’t always understand what he was doing.  Tony is the founder and CEO of Blauer Tactical Systems, the host of the Know Fear podcast and the creator of the SPEAR system, a personal defense system rooted in evolutionary biology and neuroscience that leverages our innate, instinctive response to being surprised.  For the past 40 years, Tony has taught his system to everyone from youth and soccer moms and dads to law enforcement officers and tier-one operators in the world’s most elite special operations units. He also taught his system to me in 2009 as part of a story I wrote based on my experiences living in an area with a gang problem in Los Angeles. What I learned from Tony during a short period of time a decade ago transformed how I thought about violence, personal safety and situational awareness. One of the reasons I started this podcast was because of the experience I often had as a journalist where the best, most interesting I learned while researching stories often didn’t belong in the stories I was writing. So I’m happy to share this in-depth interview with Tony about some of those things including the harsh and unexpected bumps he has hit along the way during his career as an innovator and entrepreneur.  You can follow Tony on Instagram and Twitter @tonyblauer.

How prepared are you in terms being attacked in a real work setting? Violence is part of human nature, & there are examples all day everyday of people who are woefully underprepared for it. I sit down with the legend, Tony Blauer of Blauer Tactical Systems. Tony is the real deal and after 40 years studying violence, mindset, resiliency & more his program is much deeper than a how to punch or choke someone out, there are so many good real world lessons in this one!

  Tony Blauer's image has been gracing the covers of Martial Arts and Self-Defense magazines for decades, he teaches tier-one operators,  and he is a big deal in that world, but the reason I wanted to sit down with him for 10,000 "No"s is that his system, and the way he articulates it, is so personal, practical and applicable to each and every one of us.  Contrary to the stereotype that a tough guy would go around bullying people, Tony believes that violence, and his own application of violence, should be avoided at all costs.  When you hear this conversation it will not only make you more aware of your surroundings, but also more aware of your relationship to fear in all areas of your life.  His rise to the top of his field was not without tremendous resilience to overcome the naysayers who mocked his new approach to self-defense.  I encourage you all to not only listen, but following the episode, to check out the links in the show notes to get to know Tony's work in more detail and possibly even arrange to have him come to your community at some point.  It could be the difference between life and death.      SHOW NOTES:  Self-defense is a way of life, (2:52 ). Why people need to think about self-defense more carefully, (6:38). "I’m a life extension insurance salesman”, (8:38). “You want to never be near a situation where you might have to defend yourself,” (9:18).  When you start implementing introspective changes your mindset is shifts, (13:13). Understanding the timeline of violence, (18:05). Startle Flinch is our fastest human reaction, (25:45). "Fear will creep its way into all of our lives, however the ability to protect ourselves and our loved ones is arguably the single most important skill one can possess", (27:17).  If there were sudden violence happening around you, you don’t have the time to dial 911, you have to be aware before the conflict, (30:03). You have to be the first responder of your confrontation, (30:23). “Our (self-defense) system is entirely scientific, it’s a blend of physics, physiology, and psychology”, (35:11). “I can take any person, world class or beginner, and make them stronger in minutes by helping them understand (the system)”, (35:22). As soon as you break contact, you must run to safety, (42:23). “Don’t let ego and pride dictate your next strategy”, (43:00). Muscle memory isn’t a thing, it’s all neuro programming, (46:00). “My big quest is to get the world to understand that practicing for self-defense to deal with a violent encounter is emotionally and psychologically very different than practicing a martial art of a combat sport”, (46:37). How to improve your situational awareness, (53:50). “KNOW FEAR” is everything because we have to know fear and understand the psychological mechanism and how it hijacks our thoughts, (1:11:55). F**K FEAR, Face it, Understand it, Control it, Know it, (1:15:35).     LINKS:  Meet Tony - https://blauerspear.com/history                    https://panteao.com/instructors/tony-blauer/  Blauer Tactical Systems - https://blauerspear.com/  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tonyblauer/?hl=en  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TonyBlauer.SpearSystem/  Spear University - https://vimeo.com/spearuniversity  Spear Store - https://blauerspear.com/spear-store  Know Fear Podcast - https://knowfear.libsyn.com/  Sign Up For Classes - https://www.regonline.com/builder/site/Default.aspx?EventID=1049457&    RELATED PAST EPISODES OF 10,000 “No”s:   Jay Ferruggia - https://www.10000nos.com/episodes/ep-75-how-to-transform-your-body-amp-persona-strength-coach-transformation-specialist-amp-super-connector-jay-ferruggia?rq=ferruggia  Bedros Keuilian - https://www.10000nos.com/episodes/ep-13-dumpster-diver-to-overnight-millionaire-bedros-keuilian?rq=bedros  Heath Evans - https://www.10000nos.com/episodes/ep-81nbspsuperbowl-champion-heath-evans-how-to-grind-prove-the-naysayers-wrong-amp-atone-for-our-sins-after-we-fallnbsp?rq=ferrugg  Sahara Rose - https://www.10000nos.com/episodes/ep-79-become-your-highest-self-top-ranked-spirituality-podcaster-amp-best-selling-author-sahara-rosenbsp?rq=ferrugg  Rob Grupe - https://www.10000nos.com/episodes/ep-83-real-life-shawshank-redemption-how-to-rebuild-amp-thrive-after-7-years-in-prison-twice-bittennbspcrossfitnbspceo-rob-grupenbsp?rq=ferrugg    If you like what you hear, please Subscribe, leave an iTunes review and spread the word.

Tony and I had such an amazing conversation about everything from fear, to choosing safety, and peeling the onion to see what is at the core of our fear and insecurities. This was the longest podcast episode to date, but it felt like the shortest one because Tony is such an amazing orator and  gifted story teller. He takes some of the most complex issues and obstacles, and breaks them down to be more simplistic and less daunting and more manageable. My life is abundantly better for doing this interview, and I am confident yours will be as well after you listen

Today’s guest is Tony Blauer of SPEAR and Blauer Tactical Systems. His self-defence teachings have become respected in both martial arts and CrossFit for their applicability and elegance. I asked Tony on for two reasons. First because as functional athletes, we experience more fear in our training than we realise at first. Whether that’s fear of failure, fear of intensity, fear of injury, it’s all there. Secondly, because he is frankly a fascinating guy who thinks deeply and idiosyncratically. Frankly, I have a lot to learn from him so it was great to be able to spend an hour going into a deep conversation with him.

Tony Blauer has been a student of violence for 40 years. He is the CEO and founder of Blauer Tactical Systems, an organization that works with Military, Police, First Responders, and civilians. The SPEAR system is based on survival reflex, instinctual movement, and human physiology. His mission is simple - Make the world safer. Whether you accept violence or abhor it, it is part of the world we live in. Preparation, understanding (of yourself), and situational awareness will help you navigate any environment.

In Episode 12 of What Got You There we chat with Tony Blauer. Tony is a personal defense & combatives consultant. He’s the CEO at Blauer Tactical Systems and founder of the SPEAR system-SPEAR- Spontaneous protection Enabling Accelerated Response. Tony travels the world sharing his research with military & law enforcement training units. As well, he works closely with professional self-defense experts and protection specialists. Tony is what you would get if you combined Chuck Norris with Liam Neeson! In this episode Tony talks about his journey of becoming one of the worlds most sought after personal defense experts. Tony is known as the master of Fear, both how to deal with it and use it to your advantage and he dives deep into this topic. Tony opens up about a traumatic experience in his life where his family experienced a home invasion when he was away. Blauer describes what it’s like to receive the phone call from your wife when she just had a gun trained on her and how to remain calm in that situation. While this episode may teach you a few things about personal defense it is much more about handling difficult things you face in life.

Tony Blauer has been teaching people to protect themselves for over 37 years.  His SPEAR (Spontaneous Protection Enabling Accelerated Response) system of close quarter defense is currently being taught in all levels of law enforcement and in military groups.  His company is Blauer Tactical Systems and it has several branches to meet the needs of elite athletes, high speed SWAT officers, and even the soccer moms. Tony can be controversial to some people who claim he is against their brand of martial art but Tony explains that no matter what martial art or self defense class you take, there is no way to train for an ambush.  You can't know where you will be or what you will be doing when the ambush happens, but you can learn to utilize your flinch response and make that the launch into what ever art you've learned. Self defense is a big part of the Firearms Nation.  Tony helps you get to the “what's next” when you “Choose Safety” and “Be Your Own Bodyguard”.   To find Tony and start training with him go to: www.blauerspear.com Links mentioned in the episode: www.instagram.com/tonyblauer blauerspear.com/the-be-your-own-bodyguard-course Video with Israeli soldier being stabbed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnJ3N0eHgwU #choosesafety And don't forget you can connect with Firearms Nation or just stop by and say hi on these social media links: Facebook  www.facebook.com/firearmsnation Twitter  twitter.com/Firearms_Nation YouTube http://www.youtube.com/c/firearmsnation Instagram http://www.instagram.com/firearms_nation Or on the web at: www.firearmsnation.com   JOIN THE NATION!

Want to find out more about the psychology of combat?  Tony Blauer is the head of Blauer Tactical Systems which specializes in close quarter tactics & scenario-based training for law enforcement, military and professional self-defense instructors. We had a great conversation about Crossfit, fear management, adrenaline dumps, and his 'conversion' to BJJ.  And it's all pretty relevant stuff!  Everybody (who's not insane) feels fear, whether we're freaked out about sparring somebody new, entering our first BJJ tournament, fighting MMA, or defending ourselves on the street. And so we should know how to deal with it
