Our Upper Level classes are open to graduates of our Adult Basics and Young Adult courses.
Defense Against Weapons
In this course, students learn to defend themselves against an armed assailant. We cover assault with knives, guns, and clubs,
and explore how weapons are used to intimidate as well how they are actually wielded. This course is offered to Basics graduates every other year. The next Defense Against Weapons is tentatively planned for a weekend in 2009.
Defense Against Multiple Assailants
This course prepares students to fight off multiple attackers (3 or more at once). This course is offered to Basics graduates every other year. The next Defense Against Weapons is tentatively planned for a weekend in 2010.
Due to the high popularity of these classes and their limited offering, we encourage you to send us an email so we can add you to the contact list. You will be notified as soon as an upper level class is scheduled.
"I'm not an abuse victim of any sort of physical/sexual abuse or assault. I know few women who are victims or survivors. But taking the Impact Bay Area course has proven to be one of the best decisions I almost didn't make. I think every woman, regardless of age or experience, should take a Basics Course." - Karen (age 28)
