Personal Defense Readiness Seminar

RAW CrossFit has teamed up with Chris Roberts-Personal Defense Readiness Coach to offer CrossFit members and the public a chance to learn the S.P.E.A.R SYSTEM.

The S.P.E.A.R SYSTEM is the first genetically and behaviourally inspired self-defense course of it’s kind. S.P.E.A.R training uses methods that fully integrate the body’s reflexive responses and instinctive survival mechanisms making it the easiest and most natural way to protect yourself.

Have a look at the picture below. The “startle-flinch” response is a universal human reaction.

During a sudden, aggressive attack the cognitive brain cannot process the ‘technique’. Instead, the reactive brain overrides, producing a flinch. The S.P.E.A.R SYSTEM then converts this primal survival response into protective or combative tactics.

Come join us at RAW CrossFit for a day of learning how to manage fear, and turn your basic human instincts into personal protection.

Chris will be taking us through a series of mini-lectures, skill learning, drills, and live action scenarios.

Sounds like a day of fun!
