SELF DEFENSE

Krav Maga, the self-defense fighting style, is defined by its brutal offensive techniques and quick counterattacks, making it the perfect choice for unexpected and dangerous situations. Unlike traditional martial arts, Krav Maga prioritizes results over fair fighting rules, offering a revolutionary self-defense course that eliminates katas and rituals.

Whether you're looking to defend yourself in real-world scenarios or seeking a practical and efficient approach to self-defense, Krav Maga is the ultimate solution.

"I was hooked..."

I initially found this place looking for a self defense class. They are teaching me that, but also so much more. From the first time I visited everyone was welcoming and the instructors did a great job of making me feel comfortable jumping right into a class even though I had never been to anything like it before. After the first day I was hooked and they have been so gracious about working with my schedule and making adjustments in class to protect my knee, from a previous injury, without me missing out on anything. It is a great place to learn essential skills to protect yourself, build confidence, and even have fun.

"Instructors are top notch..."

The training I have received from East Texas Krav Maga has far exceeded my expectations. The classes taught me that I am responsible for being my own protection which translated into a higher level of physical fitness for me overall. Not only has my fitness level increased significantly but so has my situational awareness and confidence level. The instructors are top notch and care deeply about the material being taught and the student's grasp of the concepts.
