Women's Basics Full-Force Impact Style Self-Defense. Twenty-three hour course over a single weekend in verbal and physical self-defense with padded mock-assailants. This single weekend Women's Basics Course is a comprehensive training with lots of individualized instruction and practice, covering the emotional, mental and physical aspects of self-defense. This course gives students the opportunity to practice full-force on "attacker" instructors in well-padded suits who play the role of an assailant. Practicing these full-force techniques, taught by a female instructor, allows students to experience the benefits of "muscle memory" - their bodies will remember the techniques in a crisis situation. Verbal and body-language boundary-setting is also practiced to de-escalate situations before they become physical. We teach in an emotionally supportive environment conducive to learning and healing.

IMPACT Bay Area prevents violence and promotes healing by teaching full-force self-defense, personal safety and empowerment to individuals. We use padded mock assailants and teach in an adrenalized state so the physical and verbal self-defense techniques are patterned into student's muscle memory -- your body will remember them in a real attack situation even if you "freeze" or can't think. We teach in an emotionally supportive environment conducive to learning and healing. Our style of self-defense has been taken and proven effective by over 10,000 individuals in the Bay Area since 1985. IMPACT Bay Area has been featured on and is highly recommended by Oprah, Dr. Phil and Tyra Banks.
