Fallout Shelter Ministries

Fallout Shelter Ministries separates itself from typical martial arts gyms with a philosophy rooted in actual self-defense application. Their core principle: martial arts training and personal safety are different things. Complex motor skills that win tournaments rarely appear in real violent encounters.

Rich Ohm, head instructor and co-founder, is a former police officer with 20+ years in law enforcement—serving as jailor, communications officer, rural deputy, city officer, part-time SWAT, and detective. He now teaches full-time.

Credentials: - Over 2,000 hours of instructor-level training - NRA-certified handgun instructor - SIG SAUER Academy Master Pistol Instructor - Trained in carbine, shotgun, handgun, defensive tactics, and less-lethal methods - Teaching law enforcement since 2002 - Over 10,000 citizens trained in firearms courses since 2010

Each firearms course is customized to student needs with individual attention. The focus: building knowledge, increasing skill and safety, and preparing for the unexpected.

They use the Blauer Personal Defense Readiness (SPEAR PDR) system—certified coaches in a method based on physics, psychology, and physiology.

Their approach covers: - How your body responds to violence - Fight or flight reactions under stress - Recognizing pre-attack cues - Turning natural reactions into effective responses - Fear management and emotional control - Defusing skills and stress inoculation

"Fear throttles everything. The mind navigates the body." – Tony Blauer

Classes in Olympic-style Tae Kwon Do (Chung Do Kwan Combat Association style), boxing, kickboxing, hapkido, and MMA training. Students learn courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit alongside explosive speed, controlled power, flexibility, and coordination.

Fallout Shelter offers customized seminars for schools, churches, businesses, and youth groups—locally, regionally, or worldwide.
