Personal Defense Readiness
Personal Defense Readiness (PDR) is based on the S.P.E.A.R. System pioneered and developed by Tony Blauer.
The S.P.E.A.R. System is the first genetically wired and behaviorally inspired self-defense course 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.
PDR students are exposed to aggressive, as well as defensive role-playing to simulate encounters and to prepare them to react ethically and decisively to real-life aggression. Our curriculum covers verbal defusing tactics, choice speech principles, and a host of other behaviorally researched strategies.
The S.P.E.A.R. System fosters respect for yourself and others by developing virtues like self-discipline, humility, assertiveness and character. Since the program is so focused around the managing of one’s fears, it directly works the ‘esteem’ and ‘ego’ centers of anyone sincerely studying the system, ultimately leading 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, making it a perfect fit to our CrossFit program.
