Self Defense For Groups in Ham Lake, MN

Many people think that self-defense classes are meant to teach you how to fight, but that's only in the worst case scenario. In reality, self defense actually means doing everything in your power to avoid getting into a fight.
That's where we come in.
Although combat technique is an important part of our self-defense courses, we also teach a wide array of skills that can help you steer clear of a fight in the first place. For example, verbal de-escalation can be a very effective technique in fending off a would-be attacker.
But the most important thing you can take away from our classes is the self-confidence that comes from training in realistic scenarios. Our classes are taught in an extremely supportive environment and training is tailored to help each individual be prepared to encounter an actual assault.
Regardless of your size, speed or athletic skills, we can provide you with training on how to:
  • Avoid being a target
  • Assess your surroundings
  • React to a confrontation
  • Conduct yourself in a crisis
  • Anticipate your attacker's next move
  • Breaking an attacker's grasp
  • How, when, and where to strike if assaulted
This course is designed to prepare you for an assault, but it also gives you the tools you need to avoid the fight altogether. So whether you want to learn how to fight, or more importantly, how to avoid fighting, we can help.
For more information about group classes or to set up a course for a private or corporate group, please contact us today.

  • UMA Ham Lake is an amazing karate studio. Master Olson and Mrs. Olson are wonderful instructors and wonderful people who treat you like family! Karate is so much more than kicks and punches, at UMA you are taught respect, accountability, pride, discipline and so much more. Karate is a life long skill you can carry and learn for your entire life and I couldn't ask for better instructors than the Olson's! Here's a photo that says it all, my son at his advance brown belt graduation with Master Olson.

  • The Olson’s are awesome instructors! Our daughter started with a desire to “try” Karate and is now determined to get her black belt and “be on the wall!” This is due to Master Olson and Lisa’s wonderful demeanor and instruction. Thank you for allowing our daughter to build a new passion that will be with her for a lifetime.

  • We come from a family of educators and value and cherish those who understand children and the process of learning. Master Olson will not disappoint, he has an amazing ability to relate to all age levels and builds an incredible rapport with all belt levels. Words cannot express how he has not only developed my child’s karate skills, but also character, leadership and overall confidence.
    - John Peterson. 4/30/2018
  • Our child is enrolled at UMA Ham Lake. The staff has treated her so well and our family has great respect for the UMA staff. Not only is she learning the art of Karate but she is being taught valuable lessons in character building, patience, perseverance, determination, generosity, and so much more. I can't imagine our life without UMA Ham Lake. They promote family values and we certainly feel like part of the family.

  • Awesome martial arts! Great instructors. Highly recommended.
    - Christine Niskanen. 4/17/2018
  • This place is amazing. From the start, the Olsons were welcoming and friendly. The establishment is clean and well maintained. We are also impressed with the quality of the classes and the flexibility of class schedules. Our kids thrive here and have grown in self esteem, discipline, flexibility, knowledge...and have fun!
    - Rebecca Rosenbaum. 4/17/2018
  • Becoming a student at UMA has been a great way for me to stay in shape. The instruction is outstanding and the facility is kept up nicely. Karate has been a positive part of my life for few years and I would recommend giving Ultimate Martial Arts a try.
    - Rick C. 4/13/2018
  • I would highly recommend UMA to anyone interested in learning martial arts and the discipline and focus that comes with it. From day one everyone was so welcoming and very helpful and kind. It truly has a family like environment. You can see how much Mr. & Mrs. Olson care about their students, their curriculum and the success of EVERY student no matter what belt level. They also stress the importance of "Might for Right" when it comes to learning self defenses. They are top notch! We're very happy there.
