Impact Bay Area's purpose is to prevent violence, promote healing and
foster safe communities by teaching women and girls the emotional and
physical skills to defend themselves against verbal, physical and sexual
assault.
Our mission is to provide high-quality Impact training to every woman
and girl in the Bay Area.
Through our years of experience, we know every woman, regardless of
her age, size or physical health can learn to effectively defend herself
against verbal, physical and sexual assault. In our courses, students
practice physical and verbal techniques in an adrenalized state resulting
in "muscle memory" - their bodies will remember the techniques
in a crisis situation.
"I am 100 times more at ease in my day to day life after the IMPACT training. I know I can trust my body and instincts to keep me safe in the world." Gerise (age 33)
