Learn to fight for real situations on the street – direct, effective, based on modern MMA training.
Free Trial ClassStreet Defense is self-defence for real situations, not for the ring. A few simple techniques that still work under stress, and the ability to spot a situation early and defuse it.
We train in scenarios instead of competition rules: close distance, several people, a surprise start. Taught by Sam, Chief Instructor Self Defense and co-founder of IMPACT.
You need no experience, and nobody gets thrown in at the deep end.
Your first session is free. Before that, we'll have a quick chat to see whether IMPACT is the right fit for you.
Fill in the short form – it takes less than 60 seconds.
A quick get-to-know: what are you looking for, what do we offer – and does it fit? If yes, we'll find your class and set a date.
Come in and train along. Loaner gear is ready – all you need is sportswear.
Fill in the form and we'll give you a call to plan your first session together. The trial class is free, loaner gear included.
A few techniques that still work under stress, plus the ability to spot a situation early. No competition, no show moves.
