Empowering Youth Through Self Defense
The Impact Approach
At Fit to Fight®, we believe self-defense training should be practical, relevant, and adaptable to the individual. That’s why our youth self-defense program, Impact, is built with the real challenges kids face in mind. Unlike adults, who may need to defend against violent assaults or carjackings, children are far more likely to encounter bullying, peer pressure, and social conflict.
Rather than teaching a scaled-down version of adult self-defense, Impact is designed to empower kids with the skills they actually need—both physically and mentally.
Confidence Through Kickboxing and Jiu-Jitsu
Our program uses kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) as the foundation for self-defense. These disciplines are effective, engaging, and provide kids with:
✅ Practical Self-Defense – Kids learn how to create space, escape holds, and defend themselves without unnecessary aggression.
✅ Body Awareness & Coordination – Training improves balance, reflexes, and overall physical ability.
✅ Mental Resilience – Facing challenges on the mat helps kids develop problem-solving skills under pressure.
More Than Just Fighting—Life Skills for Everyday Challenges
At its core, Impact is about building strong, confident, and respectful individuals. Physical training is just one part of the equation. We emphasize:
💡 Self-Esteem & Confidence – Mastering new techniques helps kids believe in themselves, even in non-training situations.
🤝 Respect & Communication – Learning to work with partners fosters teamwork and positive social interactions.
🛑 Dealing with Bullies – Instead of just telling kids to “walk away,” we equip them with verbal assertiveness, boundary-setting, and de-escalation strategies.
The Impact Difference
What sets Impact apart is our commitment to making self-defense fun, functional, and focused on real-world application. We don’t just train kids to fight—we teach them how to stand tall, handle adversity, and carry themselves with confidence in all aspects of life.
At Fit to Fight®, we’re not just creating martial artists—we’re empowering the next generation.
