This class (IMPACT's "Basics") will change your life. I consider myself a strong woman athlete (long distance backpacker, brown belt in Judo), but before this class I always had, in the back of my mind, the question, "Could I defend myself if attacked?" Now I know, without a doubt, that I *could*. The Basics class should be mandatory for all high school girls. I wish I had been able to take it when I was that age - #1, learning that your voice is your most powerful weapon (learning to say no and mean it; feeling that you can and should maintain healthy boundaries). But if voice alone fails, learning to defend yourself by disabling your assailant. IMPACT's full-force self defense against padded assailants will stay in your body memory forever.

The class has such a profound affect upon me that I have become a volunteer for this 25-year old organization. IMPACT also has classes for Men, Defense Against Weapons, Multiple Assailants...and a host of others for the teen and co-ed populations.

If you have a history of saying yes when you want to say no, if you have abuse in your background and are sick of carrying it around with you, if you just want to feel safe again...TAKE THIS CLASS.
