Many IMPACT-style self-defense chapters have heard from graduates who successfully used skills they learned in class to fight off an attacker, avoid a potentially dangerous situation, or set a safe and defendable boundary. For some examples:

IMPACT / Model Mugging Boston at www.impactboston.com/stories

BAMM / Bay Area Model Mugging, see “testimonials” and “success stories” at www.bamm.org

IMPACT / PREPARE Inc. (New York and Los Angeles) at www.prepareinc.com. See “Graduates Talk”.

And from KIDPOWER /TEENPOWER in Santa Cruz, CA, www.fullpower.org/success-stories.html
