Hokko No Kamae/SPEAR By Obi Wan Shinobi - 04-20-2011 08:45 PM
=========
As one of the Defensive Tactics Instructors for the Sheriff's Office that I work for, I was sent to attend an Instructor's course for Tony Blauer's SPEAR system. I was kinda tickled by the fact that to me its nothing more than a modified Hokko No Kamae. Don't get me wrong the material taught it good for teaching something fast and simple to a law enforcement/military unit. But I felt that the system is nothing more that what I've been training with my Bujinkan instructors all along. We always practiced all our kamaes against surprise attacks. Hokko was always one that worked very well and I see that Mr. Blauer's concepts although a little more crude that what we've trained to do with Hokko is effective none the less.....lesson here is Budo is Budo. And nothing new under the sun.
