The Garage Gym Just Evolved
Six years. 800+ classes. A new chapter begins. Two live sessions a week — Tuesday for the mind, Saturday for the body — plus the full recorded archive.
A New Chapter Begins
The Tactical Garage Gym launched at the start of COVID — five days a week, when the world stopped and people finally had the space to ask the question most of us spend our lives avoiding: "Could I actually protect myself — or the people I love?"
As the world reopened, we moved to three days a week. Then to two. Now — six years in, with half the population finally awake to what's happening out there — it's time to evolve the format. Same two days a week. New structure. Built for how protectors actually live.
Two Sessions. Mind & Body.
Tactical Breakdown
1 PM Pacific / 4 PM Eastern / 9 PM UK • 60 min • Live
Real incidents decoded — body cam, CCTV, smartphone footage, and irresponsible self-defense exposed. Plus live Q&A with Coach Blauer.
Build the eyes. Build the mind-speed.
Morning Training
8 AM Pacific / 11 AM Eastern / 4 PM UK • 60 min • Live
Physical drills led by Coach Blauer's Mobile Training Team — retired cops, active-duty law enforcement, retired military, and lifelong martial artists.
Build the body. Build the instinct.
Two sessions a week. Mind and body. Study and sweat. This is how protectors stay ready.
Who Belongs in This Room
Tuesday Tactical Breakdown
Live Q&A With Coach Tony Blauer
Forty years of research. Tens of thousands of real incidents analyzed. Now you get to sit in the room. Every Tuesday, Coach Blauer takes a real incident — a street attack, a use-of-force encounter, a home invasion, a body cam clip, CCTV footage, or a smartphone video — and runs it through the SPEAR System® filter in real time. He also calls out the bullshit: irresponsible self-defense demos and the kind of content that gets people hurt when it matters most.
This is the only place on the planet where you can do this with him.
Then the floor opens. Live Q&A. Bring your scenarios. Bring the incident that's been bothering you — the one from your agency, your school, your neighborhood, or your own past. Coach B will work it with you.
Real-time scenario mapping — every Tuesday session.
Saturday Morning Training
Live Drills With the BTS Mobile Training Team
The week ends with work. Real work. Saturday morning is where the mind-speed we build on Tuesday becomes the neural pattern you rely on to protect yourself — where the SPEAR System® stops being something you understand and starts becoming something you own.
You'll train alongside the Mobile Training Team and a global community of instructors, protectors, martial artists, and serious students from six continents.
Low-tech. High-impact. You need your body, a little floor space, and the willingness to work. If you want to level up: a resistance band, a medicine ball, and a PVC pipe. That's it. This is garage gym training by design — no studio, no gi, no excuses.
Meet the Mobile Training Team
Coach Blauer's hand-selected team of working professionals and career martial artists who have trained directly under him — many for decades. On Saturdays, they lead the Garage Gym training session.
Law Enforcement
Retired and active-duty officers, detectives, DT instructors, and SWAT operators who've used this system in the field.
Military
Retired special operations, combat veterans, and career service members with real-world application of the SPEAR System®.
Martial Artists
Black belts, coaches, and school owners with 20, 30, 40+ years on the mat — all certified through the SPEAR System®.
The BTS Mobile Training Team — Certified SPEAR System® Instructors.
Every MTT instructor has been vetted, certified, and personally coached by Coach Blauer. Coach B still drops in regularly — but Saturday belongs to the team that represents this system worldwide.
"Can You Really Learn Self-Defense Online?"
Every week we hear the same objection: "I don't think you can learn self-defense through a screen." Here's the truth, from 40+ years of coaching: if you can't learn online, it's because you're either not coachable — or the instructor sucks. Those are the two reasons.
Most online programs do suck. Choreographed nonsense. Techniques that would get you hurt. Instructors who've never been tested. If that's your reference point, your skepticism is earned. But the SPEAR System® is behaviorally based — built on how your body already reacts to danger. It isn't a style to memorize, and it's trainable in any format.
The people who got better had two things in common: they were coachable, and they trusted the system long enough to let it work. That's the whole deal.
