Programs for Schools and Colleges (in-person and online)
IMPACT Bay Area has been teaching self-defense in schools for over 30 years, with age-appropriate curriculum for children ages 6+ to young adults in college. Our school-based programs build verbal and physical skills to help students set boundaries, de-escalate conflict, and fight back against violence when necessary. Our classes increase safety, boost confidence and empower students with a toolbox of choices. Students in our teen courses practice a range of skills for setting boundaries with people they know, learning to say 'no," and building healthy relationships. Older students in our Young Adult Course learn skills to defend against sexual assault.

Here's what administrators and students have to say:
"Since 1987, approximately 1,000 young women at Santa Catalina School have taken the women's self‐defense course, for we believe that women must not only be ready for college, but also ready for life ... Our decision a quarter century ago to make this class available to our students is one of the best we have ever made." ‐Broeck Oder, Santa Catalina School, Monterey
"This class has made me a stronger, confident, empowered and courageous person. I am so grateful to have taken this class." -Student, Santa Catalina Young Adult Class
"The course gave me the opportunity to find my voice and to become physically and emotionally stronger." -Student, Athenian School Teen Class
