CrossFit athletes train for the unknown and unknowable. The idea behind “constantly varied” workouts is to prepare athletes for anything life throws at them. While CrossFitters may be ready to lift a heavy rock, pick up their kids or pull themselves over a wall, are we ready for the human-to-human contact of a violent encounter like robbery, mugging or assault?
CrossFit is training for life, but what happens when life gets violent? This two and a half hour seminar will be an introduction to the psychology of violent encounters, stress inoculation, avoiding violence, plus some natural and functional tactics to employ when violence finds you. Self-defense is much more than punches and kicks — it begins with an awareness of how and where violence happens, how to avoid it and how to make oneself a poor target for a predator.
This seminar won’t be about martial arts. No one will leave with a belt or be a ninja. It will be about the principles of protection and using the natural gifts that each of us has to avoid and defend ourselves in a dangerous situation. It will be a combination of lecture, drills and scenarios.

“The S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM™ is a ‘behaviorally’ researched, close quarter personal defense method that utilizes the body’s natural flinches and reactions to fear or violence and then converts these reactions into efficient tactical choices. Because the system is “Genetically wired and behaviorally inspired™”, anybody can learn it and everybody can do it.”
