Managing fear is one of the most important skills that will serve you and your loved ones in every area of life. Whether you are starting a new job, raising children, being caught in a violent encounter, the one emotion that universally will be experienced by all is fear. The faster you are able to recognize fear and it’s psychological and physiological effects, you will be better able to reengage your cognitive thinking and apply tactics to overcome whatever stimulated to fear response.  Doing this is easier said than done, which is why I am excited to introduce you to my guest. 

My guest today is Coach Tony Blauer. Tony is a defensive tactics expert and has been training men and woman around the globe in self-defense. He founded Blauer Tactical Systems (BTS) in 1985 and it has grown into one of the world's leading consulting companies specializing in the research and development of performance psychology, personal safety, and close quarter tactics & scenario-based training for law enforcement, military, and professional self-defense instructors. His research on the neuroscience of fear and the startle-flinch led to the development of the SPEAR System® a modern personal defense system based on physiology, physics, and psychology. It has been used by defensive tactics and combative trainers all over the world for over 30 years. After decades of interviewing victims of violent encounters and studying violence, he created the KNOW FEAR® program which focuses on managing fear through self-awareness, resiliency, and a 'movement' mindset. This program has also been integrated by psychologists helping Vets to deal with PTSD.
