Independence Day Membership Sale

Adults training self-defense at East Texas Krav Maga in Tyler
America’s 250th · Birthday Membership Sale

250 Years of Freedom.
Time to Defend Your Own.

We’re marking America’s 250th birthday by making it easier than ever to start: no enrollment fee, half off your first month, and $100 a month locked in for the life of your membership.

If Something Happened Today, Would You Know What to Do?

Most of us never sit with that question. We tell ourselves we’ll get to it — sign up next month, start when things slow down. That quiet “later” feels harmless. It isn’t.

Researcher Amanda Ripley spent years studying how people respond when the worst happens. What she found is sobering.

In most major disasters, the greatest danger isn’t the event itself — it’s the delay. People wait, even when the alarm is real and the exit is in plain sight. The ones who came through were the ones who had already decided to act.

Training is how you decide ahead of time. You build the skills now, calmly, on a quiet Tuesday — so that when it counts, you don’t freeze. You move.

Who You Train With

You Bring the Will. We Bring the Plan.

East Texas Krav Maga has spent years teaching everyday people in Tyler — parents, professionals, first-timers who’d never thrown a punch — how to protect themselves and the people they love. No tournaments. No belts to chase. Just simple, proven skills that hold up when your heart is pounding and there’s no time to think.

Every technique is led by an instructor with more than 40 years in martial arts and self-protection, and pressure-tested for the real world — not the mat, not the cage, the parking lot. You won’t be lost in a crowd. You’ll be coached, by name, at your pace.

The Birthday Rate

Every Barrier to Starting, Taken Down.

For America’s 250th, we’re removing the things that usually keep people from beginning.

$50 Enrollment Fee — Waived

Nothing to pay just to walk through the door.

First Month $62.50

Half of the standard $125. Start for less than the cost of one night out.

Then $100 a Month

$25 off the regular rate — locked in for the life of your membership.

It Never Expires

That $25 discount holds every single month, for as long as you train with us.

What it adds up to: $387.50 back in your pocket your first year — and $300 every year after, for as long as you stay.

How It Works

Three Steps to Ready.

01

Claim the Rate & Step In

Lock in the birthday pricing and book your first class. It’s the hardest part, and it takes about two minutes.

02

Get Your Training Blueprint

We meet you where you are and build a plan around your life, your pace, and what you most want to protect.

03

Become Someone Who’s Ready

Week by week, hesitation turns into instinct. You stop hoping you’d handle it and start knowing you can.

This Is the Version of You That Doesn’t Wonder Anymore.

Who You Become

Walk In Hoping. Walk Out Knowing.

The fear that sits in the back of your mind — in the parking garage, at the late-night gas station, the moment a stranger gets too close — it doesn’t have to live there. Our students don’t move through the world afraid. They move through it ready: calm, aware, sure of what they’d do. That’s what the work gives you, one class at a time.

The Rate Ends July 31

Make This the Summer You Got Ready.

After July 31, the enrollment fee comes back and the rate returns to standard. The $25-a-month discount is only locked in for memberships started during the celebration.
