Austin Self Defense: Robb Hamic Becomes Certified by Tony Blauer as a Personal Self Defense
Readiness (PDR) Coach- Local, National and International
Austin, TX August 26, 2009 -- Austin Self Defense is "serious business," says Robb
Hamic, Personal Defense Readiness (PDR) certified Coach under the system's creator Tony Blauer. Mr.
Hamic is the managing principal of Summit Self Defense and Chief Instructor. Summit has always
specialized in Israeli combatitives, self defense, gun deployment, concealed handgun licensing
(CHL, CCW), knife deployment, women's self defense and various other weapons training. Its founder
Robb Hamic "decided that it was time to expand into other effective areas of self defense that
would work for everyone. Mr. Blauer is a training legend and I am honored to be trained by him and
his professional staff in Virginia Beach, VA." Summit and Hamic train a variety of men, women,
law enforcement agencies and military units including Austin Police Department. " I am
committed to advancing my own training evolution to offer my students the best training
available," says Hamic. "I lead by example."
Rob Hamic travelled to Bauer
Tactical's headquarters in Virginia Beach, VA to attend Tony Blauer's intensive
Summer Camp followed by days of training for the Personal Defense Readiness (PDR) Coach
Certification. "I was seeking a system that addressed the ambush, sucker punch or strait out
attack that is all too often undetected," says Hamic. The core of our method is based on the
S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM which is the first genetically & behaviorally inspired self-defense
course of it's kind. It is the only self-defense method that fully integrates the body's reflexive
responses and instinctive survival mechanisms making the S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM the easiest, most
natural way to protect yourself. Our program also includes unique and patented learning models but
most importantly, we have pioneered research on how to manage and overcome fear.
Strategically & tactically
speaking, our courses are based on how real confrontations actually occur! We have been leading the
scenario approach to training for over 20 years. Our curriculum is based on a '3-Dimensional'
theory that creates confidence on emotional, psychological and physical levels.
Training in our system engenders personal evolution: Our breakthrough research on fear management
is the foundation of our program and understanding and directing fear is the key to overcoming any
obstacle in life. We've had many individuals participate in the program and experience transcendent
applications in their businesses life and in intra-personal relationships.
Our system fosters respect for
yourself and others by developing virtues like self discipline, humility, assertiveness and
character. Since our program is so focused around the managing of one's fears, it directly works
the 'esteem' and 'ego' centers of anyone sincerely working the system, ultimately this process
helps lead one to greater self- knowledge and personal evolution.
Violence in Austin and across the United States is rising and people all
too often are falling victim to predators. "It doesn't matter if you are a police officer or a
house wife- you will almost never know if you have been targeted for an ambush. The only thing that
matters is survival. PDR is a perfect bridge to any previously learned systems or tools such as
karate, boxing, wrestling or just plain survival instinct," says Robb Hamic. "PDR takes
nothing away and only adds to your skills, confidence and knowledge. I am implementing it in all of
my training immediately to increase my students safety."
"I have been involved in martial
arts for the majority of my life and I have never learned anything that came to me so easily,"
he says when referring to PDR. "I learned the concept in only one repetition and so will my
students. I learned more about fear management and pre-fight cues than I previously thought
possible."
