Empower Your Body |
| The most empowering class I have ever taken has been Impact Personal Safety.
Unlike Karate, kick-boxing, or other
self defense type classes that teach you specific moves, but
have you pull your punches, this training deals with muscle
memory training. They put you in 'real' scenarios so you feel
what it is like to defend yourself while in an adrenaline state.
You practice against a padded assailant so you use full impact.
Also included are verbal self defense strategies practiced in role
playing scenarios in a wide variety of contexts, dealing with
strangers as well as people you know |
| Classes prepare you mentally and physically to handle the full
range of challenging situations we all face in our daily lives,
including the danger of extreme circumstances. You will learn how
to: |
 |
|
- avoid danger by heightening your awareness
- shorten your body's natural "freeze" response
- capitalize on the adrenaline rush
- assess situations quickly and respond decisively
- use your voice, brain, body and spirit to stay safe
|
|
| Although the fight scenarios are often the highlight this program,
for many participants, the benefits of class go beyond learning how to
stay safe or how to intervene in a potentially violent encounter.
Graduates report: |
| Many
women turn their back on the possibility of violence. If they can’t see
it, it won’t happen. |
- greater general awareness and confidence
- increased self esteem and assertiveness
- ability to communicate clearly and directly
- creative and flexible problem solving skills
- improved leadership skills
- more focus and effectiveness at work
- calm, clearheaded thinking during stress or crisis

| Beyond Personal Safety - Bridge to
Personal Growth
Many other changes may begin to occur in your life after
completion of the Basics class. Students often tell us that they have
become more decisive, brave, self-confident, less anxious, or just plain
relaxed. Some find it suddenly easy to speak their minds or to stand up
for what they believe. Many of our graduates are surprised to find that
they are suddenly thinking clearly under any number of stressful
situations – say, handling an approaching deadline, or engaging a spouse
or significant other in a difficult conversation.
Ironically, most people who take this class do not
identify a fear of crime as the reason they enroll. The majority tell us
that they come to class for empowerment, confidence, and to learn to stand
up for themselves in their daily encounters with people who cross their
boundaries.
