Why Should You Train with Octagon?
- Octagon has coaches that have a combined 35 years of real-world experience managing and safely resolving crisis situations.
- Our system is the first genetically & behaviorally inspired self-defense course of its kind. Blauer’s SPEAR System is the easiest most natural way to protect yourself, your family, and co-workers.
- The system is a safe and effective mechanism to defend self, influence opponents, and overcome an aggressor, rapidly with a measured response.
- The system is the only medically endorsed self-defense system in the martial arts community;
What doctors are saying; “The SPEAR system is the most pragmatically safe way of responding to an attack. It makes sense from the medical standpoint because it intelligently utilizes intrinsic neurological pathways to effectively respond to unexpected attacks in a smoothly rapid way that dominates the opponent from point of first contact. It is used in the real world because it is grounded in fundamental anatomy and physiology of the human weapon system.”
