Defense Against an Armed Assailant
We demystify the hype around weapons and deal with the psychology of why an assailant chooses what they choose. You'll gain a peaceful sense of being able to handle yourself and make smart choices about whatever danger or threats may come your way.
A safe space to learn
We know that even committing to an IMPACT class can be a huge challenge for some students. Many of our students are recovering from assault or some other trauma due to interpersonal violence. We create a judgment-free, supportive community in each class, enabling students to face their fears bravely and with peer support.
A new understanding of your power
Many of our students who were raised as women have never had the opportunity to hit an object with their full power, never mind with permission to use anger to fuel that power. Once you know you can fight for your life and win, the way you carry yourself, value yourself, and interact with others shifts.
We give you the tools to AVOID dangerous situations
Graduates report using verbal boundary skills virtually every day. These verbal skills become one of the most valuable aspects of IMPACT training because of how frequently they are used and how effective they are. Even those who consider themselves assertive gain a lot from practicing boundary-setting skills in our classes.
