Safe, realistic self defense training in the DC metro area

Welcome to DC IMPACT Self Defense! We offer full-force self-defense training for adults and teens in a safe, supportive environment. We teach a repertoire of simple and effective verbal, physical, and psychological strategies through individual and partner practice, drills, and scenarios with male instructors in padded gear. Classes are small to ensure that each student can receive individualized attention from the teaching staff. Please see our current schedule and register for an upcoming class!
