Item Description
Bid now on a gift certificate for any Women's, Men's, LGBTQ or Youth IMPACT Boston Self-Defense class.
IMPACT is a unique personal safety and self-defense curriculum that teaches students effective strategies to resist threats, intimidation and violence perpetrated by strangers and people they know. Classes are taught by a team of two instructors, one of whom takes on the role of a perpetrator. He wears a full suit of body armor so students can safely defend themselves using the same force needed in a real attack.
We teach that physical self-defense is always a last resort. Students learn verbal skills to de-escalate conflict and stop a fight before it starts. Many assailants use verbal threats to stop people in their tracks, so students learn to keep their cool and respond effectively to harassment and intimidation.
Research on our graduates shows that IMPACT training increases overall self-confidence. This course gives students the opportunity to be effective and successful in the face of fear. Having this experience has helped people heal from past trauma and take on new challenges.
IMPACT programs are led by a diverse group of instructors whose expertise includes education, counseling, domestic violence, sexual assault, criminal justice, youth development, and martial arts.
