HIGH GEAR is a registered trademark of Blauer Tactical Systems. All rights reserved.
HIGH GEAR is the most important innovation in protective gear
since groin protection. Because wearing gear isn’t about
how tough you are, it’s about how smart you are.
BLAUER TACTICAL SYSTEMS High Gear System
But during the 1980’s, martial art protective gear was limited to foam
safety equipment for point sparring or boxing gear. Blauer integrated
gear from a variety of sports to conduct his original training
experiments; a hockey helmet, baseball catcher shin guards, a TKD
chest guard etc. Of course, the old gear always restricted martial
movement, as it was not designed to work in concert with other
pieces of gear or with a fighting system, as most components were
really only designed to deflect a ball, puck or take one hit.
Over $60,000 in R&D went into the first version of HIGH GEAR.
Over the next several years four more prototypes were created.
Many more changes and modifications were made as we tested
and experimented with different foams, plastics and design. The
gear continues to under go design changes as we evolve the of injecting dynamic training into their regimen. While most of our

Evolution - Revolution
Most simulation suits are assembled with large dye-cut pieces of foam. A complete HIGH GEAR suit is made up of
eight components. A unique blend of 'smart' foams, plastics, Plexiglas, leather and polyester make up the materials
that make the HIGH GEAR suit the lightest, most versatile impact reduction gear on the market. The HIGH GEAR
suit is meticulously assembled with over 500 finishing stages that include sewing, gluing and inserting trauma plates
for shock deflection. This process is very detailed and time consuming. HIGH GEAR has exceptional functionality,
mobility and tactical flexibility because it was designed by the fighter and trainer who created the original drill.

Tony Blauer’s revolutionary HIGH GEAR Impact Reduction suit allows you to create role-
playing scenarios, jump into MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) & NHB (No Holds Barred) style
training, stick fight or simply spar with greater mobility, flexibility and confidence. Our
company has been teaching force-on-force and contact simulations since 1982. We can
help you and your colleagues experience greater confidence and endurance with our
breakthrough HIGH GEAR Impact Reduction Suit.
MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT PADDING
Not all padding is built the same. While MMA is about tactics, it is also about toughness,
so we’ve designed HIGH GEAR so it still transfers impact but protects against cuts and
major bruising, but also transfers pain.
CONTACT & FEEDBACK
Because HIGH GEAR transfers pain, fighters still get feedback on the effectiveness of
tactics. HIGH GEAR can also be used to protect sparring partners. As fight night
approaches, Pro fighters can “turn it up & on” to begin peaking. The gear is an excellent
way to provide targets without the usual risk. The gear can also be used to test and
improve amateur fighters working to enter the professional ranks as well as by the pros
to isolate and test new tactics.
PROMOTE MMA & PROTECT YOUR TEAM
We’re trying to help MMA competition & competitors
by providing gear that allows them to train hard,
experiment, expand their arsenals and protect their
bodies. Legend Randy Couture uses HIGH GEAR to
train his students & MMA team.
SAFETY
Integrating state-of-the-art protective gear also sends a professional message regarding
safety and preparation. We know real fights take place without gear, but there are
important and intelligent evolutions in pre-fight preparation that could improve
performance and increase a fighter’s career longevity. Pro boxers integrate heavier
protection to prepare for fight night, MMA fighters should as well.
7
From original sketch to working prototype, HIGH GEAR took 7 years to complete. Every suit is
hand-crafted and requires over 500 assembly stages. Hi-tech foams & plastics are used to produce
unique impact reduction properties that allow the user to feel the contact and maintain realistic mobility.

HIGH GEAR will change how you prepare for violence! Incorporating
lightweight, flexible gear in your scenario training is way ‘outside the box’ for
many. But if we as a community are going to enhance the survivability of the
officers & soldiers we train, it's necessary to replicate the stresses of real life
confrontations as safely and scientifically as possible.
About the gear: HIGH GEAR has been on the market since 1996. It’s currently
used by law enforcement and military groups to improve their force-on-force
simulations. Recognize that you are a part of a fast growing elite group of
trainers who recognize that spontaneity and movement is crucial to evaluating
tactics and developing confidence. HIGH GEAR is the only training suit that
allows your role players and participants to move with near natural speed and
movement, as if they weren’t wearing any gear.

STUDENT OR INSTRUCTOR?
HIGH GEAR is an investment in all styles of training. Progressive trainers use our gear to protect their students.
This reduces liability and enhances the total training experience. Suiting up the students inspires fear in them;
because the implication is that they WILL be struck (even if they’re not) ...the result is immediate fear (a great
thing to inspire in any defense or tactical course). This allows the trainers to create additional stress and teaches
the student to function under pressure. It also tells the trainers very quickly if their teaching methodology is
working. If the students fail with added pressure then there is something missing from the training curriculum.
Choosing Sizes
HIGH GEAR is designed for athletes. Each component’s sizing is based on an
athletic cut (similar to protective gear worn in hockey or football). Fit is controlled by
Velcro enclosures.
NOTE: HIGH GEAR should be snug when worn correctly.
