Join us for an Introduction to Self-Defense Workshop
This IMPACT self-defense 2 hour workshop will simulate scenarios of threat, intimidation and violence perpetrated by strangers and people we know. Class will be taught by a team of two instructors, one of whom takes on the role of a perpetrator. They wear a full suit of body armor so students can safely defend themselves using the same force needed in a real attack. Physical self-defense is always a last resort – students also learn verbal skills to de-escalate conflict and avoid unnecessary violence. Many assailants use verbal threats to intimidate people, so IMPACT teaches students to stay calm and respond effectively to harassment.
