SELF DEFENSE

Be Ready for the Real World
Krav Maga is built for one purpose—keeping you safe when it counts. No flashy moves, no wasted time—just proven tactics that work under real pressure. You’ll learn to spot danger early, stay calm under stress, and respond with powerful, instinctive techniques that protect you and your loved ones.

  • Train for real-life situations, not competitions.

  • Build confidence that carries into every part of your life.

  • Learn simple, effective skills—no prior experience needed.

Walk in curious. Walk out prepared.

Because in the moment of truth, your training is the only thing you can count on.

FIREARMS training

Firearms skills aren’t just about marksmanship—they’re about decision-making under pressure. Our firearms training bridges the gap between unarmed Krav Maga and armed defense, so you’re prepared for any scenario.

  • Learn when (and when not) to use a firearm.

  • Integrate hand-to-hand tactics with armed defense.

  • Build confidence, accuracy, and safety under stress.

Whether you’re new to firearms or refining your skills, you’ll train in a way that makes you confident, capable, and responsible.

YOUTH SELF-DEFENSE

This is focused, hands-on training delivered through one-on-one lessons, small groups, and specialized seminars designed for students ages 8–14.

Your child will learn to recognize danger early, stay calm under pressure, and use simple, effective techniques to escape grabs, stand up to bullies, and get to safety fast.

  • Train for real scenarios—bullying, luring tactics, grabs, and abduction attempts.

  • Build confidence, assertiveness, and strong personal boundaries.

  • Learn practical, easy-to-remember skills—no experience required.

Give them the tools to protect themselves.
Give them the confidence to fight back.

"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.

"I love the people, culture, intensity..."

East Texas Krav Maga is high quality instruction for defending yourself for people of all sizes! Love the people, culture, intensity, workout, and preparation that spreads to other areas of life, as well! I've been training here for going on 2 and a half years, and it has really encouraged a sense of confidence and empowerment for me as a single woman. Well worth the money and time invested!

As with anything, the more you practice the better you’ll be.  But Krav Maga is built on your bodies natural instincts and reflexes, so half the work is already done!  Everyone learns at their own pace, but we’ve found that most people train in the Basic level class for about 4 months before moving on to more advanced material.
