Services
Because people deserve to feel prepared and confident in order to protect themselves and the people they love. Krav Maga, physical fitness training, and armed self-defense (firearms training and CCW training) come together at Total Defense El Paso to equip you to meet any challenge with confidence.
Krav Maga is the official self-defense and fighting system of the Israeli Defense Forces and U.S. law enforcement agencies. This wholly unique and original method was developed and refined during years of conflict. Krav Maga emphasizes easy-to-learn techniques that have been battle-tested in real, life threatening confrontations.
Our personalized training classes are offered twice daily, at 6 and 9 am. When you get to class, you will receive a personalized plan for the day and workout with the group. Our highly instructor will be present to give additional direction and encouragement as needed. The aesthetics portion, you will focus on low-weight, high-repetition exercises designed to increase muscle tone.
Our kid's program is a fun, encouraging alternative to traditional martial arts self defense classes for kids. Instead of forms and drills, Krav Maga for children teaches tools and techniques tailored for situations that commonly confrontkids at school, on the playground, and in life.

Far from being a physical-only class, Krav Maga for children trains young minds to think and react with an emphasis on situational awareness and creative problem-solving.By linking their physical activity to real self-defense techniques, we focus on training the muscles they will be asked to use both in class and the real world.
When I was in the military, one of the most common complaints I heard from our Army counterparts was training. Not that they were doing too much but too little. This was during the time that I got to experience what too much firearms training felt like. My thumbs would hurt from reloading magazines; I was tired of throwing flashbangs, and grenades.

My husband and I had a great time learning and the physical fitness part was way more exhausting than I expected but I needed it. Great instructor and a nice class size. If you’re wanting to learn self defense or become better at it and get into shape this is definitely the place to be.

Very welcoming environment with instructors that know their stuff. Instructors and other students are happy to help teach you and get you up to speed, and usually a low class size which means a lot of personal attention. If you’re in El Paso and want to train martial arts, or if you do BJJ and want some good rolls this is the place to go.
