Be Your Own Bodyguard®

Self-defense designed with the same efficiency as a first-aid course.
One day. Practical skills. You'll be safer before you leave.

The Skill You Hope You'll Never Need (But Can't Afford Not To Have)

The ability to protect yourself or someone you love is the single greatest skill you could possess.

What if it was easier to learn than you thought?

This intensive one-day course gives you:

  • Situational awareness that actually works in the real world

  • Verbal de-escalation tactics to stop conflicts before they escalate

  • Simple, practical self-defense based on what your body already knows how to do

Why This System Is Different

Be Your Own Bodyguard® was developed by Tony Blauer, a 40-year pioneer in reality-based self-defense whose methods are used by elite military units, federal agencies, and law enforcement in 47 countries.

The SPEAR System® doesn't teach you complicated techniques you'll forget under stress. It's built on the startle-flinch response—an 80,000-year-old survival reflex hardwired into your nervous system.

You already have the key to this system inside you. We just reconnect you with it.
