Tonight I had a fantastic time releiving the stress and pressure of everyday life by beating the crap out of a guy dressed in head to toe protective gear. I attended an Impact Personal Safety Fight Night. Three hours of whatever kinds of fights the participants want to practice to feel more confident about their verbal and physical abilities to defend themselves.
Looking back it's incredible to me that I actually completed 3 self defense classes. I mean I am astonished that I was able to accomplish something that I set my mind to. When I first learned about Impact the class that truly appealed to me was the Weapons class. It teaches the students to defend themselves against an assailant who is armed with a knife, club, or gun. It took a full year to go through Basic and complete Advanced and finally move on and do weapons.
Some of the amazing aspects of these classes are the people who teach them. Our instructor tonight teaches self defense at two all girl high schools. This is a valuable resource that I feel should be available to all teenage girls. A friend of mine used to be a kids class instructor. What a tremendous honor it must be to instill confidence and protection in children.
