Hi All,

I'd like to offer a discounted a self-defense class to those who are interested!  If you want to feel safer and more assertive, now is definitely the time to act.

I work for a really fantastic non-profit in Malden called IMPACT Boston.  IMPACT provides realistic personal safety training that gives students the skills to respond appropriately to threatening situations.  IMPACT classes are designed to teach self-protection strategies that are effective regardless of size, age, or fitness level. 

You may have heard of IMPACT by its former name "Model Mugging."  It's unique in that it provides a rare opportunity to practice self-defense using full force (one of the instructors wears a protective suit.)  I would add that  this makes it additionally interesting for people who have studied martial arts or attended other, less involved, self-defense programs, like RAD.

 Our next class, Women's Basics, takes place May 13th through 15th.  Some people had to move to our June class, leaving the May class a bit under-populated.  I really don't want the class to be canceled, especially for the sake of those already enrolled!

I'm hoping for three more registrants for May.  We offer scholarships and no-interest payment plans, plus I'm sure we'll be able to offer a further discounts (possibly comps!)  just to run the program.  The schedule is as follows:

Friday May 13th 4:30p-9:30p
Saturday May 14th 10a-7p
Sunday May 15th 11a-4p

If it sounds like a huge commitment, I should tell you that a 56 year old woman who took the class in 2005 called me a few weeks ago to tell me that she recently used IMPACT skills to successfully fight off a would-be armed robber.  Once the skills are in your body, they are yours forever.

I could go on and on, but if you're interested, please email me at registration@impactboston.org, call 781-321-3900, visit www.impactboston.org.... or we can talk in comments!

(We'll have more Women's classes, a Men's class, and hopefully an LGBTQ class coming up too.)

P.S.- Feel free to moderate my tags, I am not adept in teh tagging arts.

How would a LGBTQ class be different from other classes? How is the women's class different from other classes? I'd be qualified for both target groups. How would one apply for a scholarship? I might be free to help you/me.

Can you please let me know about other classes? I am very interested but will be in Seattle the weekend of this class.

Thank you!

I teach for IMPACT, it really is a great organization.

I've seen the courses change people's lives for the better in a very short time.
