Is the SPEAR System® a Modern Martial Art or a Return to Tradition?
I’m a Modern Traditionalist.
Most people call the SPEAR System® a modern combat method.
Fair. But I see it as deeply traditional.
✅ No rituals.
✅ No “Sensei, Sifu, Guru.” Just Coach.
✅ We train to manage real violence—daily.
So why call it traditional?
Because real tradition isn’t about robes or ceremony—it’s about principles that stand the test of time.
“A set of customs and usages viewed as a coherent body of precedents influencing the present.”
I respect the past. I study warriors who came before us—those who bled to teach us hard truths. Their experiences matter.
But I also believe this: We evolve, or we perish.
I quote Musashi. His psychology is timeless.
But I don’t train for katana disarms—nobody’s swinging swords in parking lots.
I train for guns, blades, blunt trauma, and the chaos of the modern ambush.
And someday, when space pirates show up with lasers, those training gun disarms today will be the new traditionalists. 🤓👊
Change always gets pushback. It’s part of the path.
“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”
– Schopenhauer
Every breakthrough starts off as radical, irreverent, rebellious… until it becomes the new standard.
Today’s eclectic renegade becomes tomorrow's tradition.
Necessity drives innovation. The real world doesn’t care about lineage or ceremony.
It cares about what works under stress—in the dark, in tight spaces, when you’re scared, caught off guard, outnumbered, or alone.
The world is getting meaner and more violent.
If you’re a protector—of your family, your team, your community—then your training must evolve too.
Stay safe by staying dangerous.
