As creator of the SPEAR System®, Blauer Tactical Systems in Encinitas has trained law enforcement, military, and civilian self-defense instructors worldwide since founding in 1985. The system converts the body's involuntary startle-flinch reflex into a tactical counter-response, a physiology-based approach to close-quarter defense that complements the strength and conditioning programming at Anytime Fitness in the Encinitas corridor. Headquartered on North El Camino Real in New Encinitas, the company also developed High Gear®, the first impact-reduction suit designed for force-on-force scenario training used by SWAT and military units. The UK's Association of Chief Police Officers approved the SPEAR System for inclusion in its Personal Safety Training Manual, and the Scottish Prison Service integrated a modified version into its protective-techniques curriculum. Performance coaching extends beyond tactical response into fear-management and mindset conditioning, recovery-focused disciplines that align with the mobility and flexibility protocols at Stretch Zone. The Know Fear® program layers cognitive-behavioral drills onto physical scenarios, integrating cortisol-response management with reaction-time calibration for high-stress confrontation environments.
