The Most Complete Self-Defense Training on the Planet
The Tactical Garage Gym was created by Coach Blauer over half a decade ago for people who couldn’t attend his live events due to schedule conflicts, travel costs, or geography. It’s an immersive online experience — designed to feel like you booked a private one-on-one session with Coach B. Filmed in first-person, it puts you in the action like a first-player video game. You’re doing the drills alongside him, learning real-time insights on every topic inside the SPEAR System® and KNOW FEAR® universe. It’s raw, real, and unlike anything else out there.
Whether you’re a coach, a cop, a concerned parent, or just someone who refuses to be a victim, the Garage Gym gives you 24/7 access to over 800 tactical, practical, and raw sessions — all taught by Coach Tony Blauer. New content drops weekly. You can train LIVE with Coach B every week, or stream classes on-demand anytime from any device. Think: “Netflix of Self-Defense.” This is more than training. It’s a mindset. It’s a movement. And you’re invited.
“I’ve studied martial arts for 30 years. I’ve been looking for a system that works with aging and stress. After 5 Garage Gym lessons, I knew — this is it. No fluff. All function.”
— David Eyre
Garage Gym FAQ
Do I need experience?
Nope. Zero experience required. You don’t need a black belt or a fight record — you just need the willingness to learn and the courage to start. The system meets you where you are.
Can I really learn self-defense online?
Yes — if it’s taught the right way. Our training isn’t choreographed nonsense. It’s behaviorally based, instinctive, and easy to retain — especially when taught by the creator of the system himself. You’ll learn how to recognize danger sooner, manage fear, and move decisively when it counts.
Do I need any equipment?
No fancy gear needed — this is low-tech, minimalist training by design. You can do everything with just your body, and many people do. But if you want to level up, all you need is a resistance band, a medicine ball, and a PVC pipe. That’s it. Low-cost, high-impact — and enough to do every drill in the program.
Is this a workout or a class?
It’s both. You’ll move, sweat, and get stronger — mentally and physically. But you’re not just exercising. You’re learning a mindset and skill set that could save your life.
Can I ask questions or get feedback?
If you join the LIVE coaching tier, absolutely. You’ll get direct access to Coach Blauer in real time. You can ask questions, share scenarios, and get personalized insights.
Is this for men only?
Hell no. The Garage Gym is for anyone who wants to take ownership of their safety — men, women, teens, parents, professionals, protectors. Courage doesn’t care about gender.
What if I can’t keep up?
Then go at your pace. This isn’t a bootcamp. It’s a mindset upgrade. You train where you’re at, and over time, you’ll see your confidence, awareness, and capability grow.
How long are the classes?
If you’re doing the LIVE sessions, that’s all that matters — they run 60 to 90 minutes and you show up ready to train. If you’re in the on-demand membership, you can start, stop, pause, take notes, and come back whenever you want. Do the workout, study the drills, or revisit key insights. You control the pace.
Is this suitable for older adults or people with injuries?
Absolutely. This is about smart, adaptive movement — not brute force. Many drills can be modified, and Coach B constantly reminds students to listen to their body.
What’s the difference between LIVE and RECORDED memberships?
LIVE gives you access to weekly real-time coaching with Coach Blauer — plus all the replays. RECORDED gives you on-demand access to the massive archive. Choose based on your schedule and learning style.
How fast will I see results?
That depends on your consistency — but most people feel safer, more aware, and more confident after just a few sessions.
What’s the age range for students?
We’ve had teens as young as 14 and adults in their 70s training regularly. The mindset is what matters, not your birth year.
“I have spent the last couple of weeks just accessing past sessions and absorbing as much as I can from Vimeo and your Know Fear podcasts. I’m a family physician/hospitalist and my wife is a neurologist. Scientifically, you are so on point re SPEAR. There is nothing else like it. I feel like I am being coached by a neuroscientist/assassin.”
— John R. Morgan IV, MD
“Two months in the Garage Gym and I’m down 20 pounds, stronger, have faster hands, better balance — and I think clearer. It’s not just self-defense. It changed how I live.”
— Mike Benakovich
“My wife and I joined last week and watched our first live class Thursday evening. Wow—what an amazing defensive system. Almost immediately after watching our first live session, we felt like we would be able to use some of the techniques right away.”
— Ralph & Lisa Rosado

"I have been doing Tactical Garage Gym for 2 weeks now. Please keep the gym going forever! I will be there. Thank you for everything this has definitely changed my life and I found my self-defense passion."
~Celeste Conquer
“Over the course of my life, I've spent $100 on a myriad of ways, but can't recall getting so much knowledge and confidence from the Tactical Garage Gym Group and the SPEAR training. Can't wait to start the second month..."
-Mark Rodak
“After two months, I am more motivated, eating better, am stronger where it counts, have improved balance and stability, and have lost 20 pounds (obviously credited to the improved diet, but I didn’t have the motivation to start the calorie tracking until I started the Tactical Garage Gym classes).
I’ve also regained hand speed that I thought I had lost due to age. I’ve reaped all of those benefits, plus hours of knowledge and brain-based training pertaining to my personal safety. If anyone is on the fence about signing up, stop wasting time… every second is worth it.”
-James Lezala

“I have attended two SPEAR combatives camps in Vegas in the past and like I said today, it has been a light bulb moment for me after 30 years of training and teaching martial arts. The Tactical Garage Gym opportunity has not only confirmed the path I wish to take my training and my students but has also shown me how to teach via Zoom.””

““Hearing Tony present is like listening to a philosophy professor, a neuroscientist, and a world champion combat athlete explain the secrets of the universe. Tony is a coach in the purest sense of the word.
Tony challenged my beliefs and mindsets...lighting the path to becoming a better martial artist, and more importantly, a better human being.
Working with Tony is an experience you’ll look back on and wish you had done it sooner.””
