UMB Police and Public Safety offers FREE self-defense training for ALL students and employees. 

Our 10- to 12-hour hands-on course is designed to emphasize confidence and self-discipline while developing and enhancing self-defense options. You will learn:

  • Stances, movements, and strikes
  • Defense against common grab types
  • Defense against attacks from behind 
  • Ground escapes
  • Resources available at UMB

Unless otherwise stated, self-defense classes are held twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) for 2 hours per session. They are offered from noon to 2 p.m. and again from 5 to 7 p.m. Both sessions will provide the same information. Please choose which time works best for your schedule.

Please be mindful that this is a multi-week commitment. Unless otherwise stated, class meets twice a week for two hours. You should plan to attend ALL sessions.
