I took the Women's Basics course after moving to LA and it changed my life! I would sign all of my…read morefriends up for this class if I could. This course teaches essential skills for verbal de-escalation, boundary setting, and physical self-defense, but what really sets it apart is how those skills are ingrained through fully-adrenalized, full-force fight scenarios. That, and the fact that the IMPACT instructors are phenomenal. I'm always impressed by their attentiveness, innovative teaching techniques, and their emphasis on students' safety during physical confrontations. Since taking the Basics course, I've successfully used verbal de-escalation tools twice in real-life situations, including during a frightening incident when a muscular man ran straight at me and blocked my path while I was walking in my neighborhood. I've also applied the skills I've learned in the workplace and most other areas of life. It may sound hyperbolic, but the class really changed how I walk through the world. If you can't commit to the full Basics course, consider taking the Intro Class. It's a great place to start. IMPACT also offers an advanced course and a "Defense Against the Armed Assailant" course for those who have completed the Basics. I took both and highly recommend!

It's not like martial arts, there's not a ton of fancy tricks; it's accessible and practical skills..AND you get to fight an actual person. I didn't just learn skills to defend myself, I learned about what I was actually capable of. It changed my life! Can't recommend enough!

My 6-year old son started here about a month and a half ago. I found them on Yelp and called to ask…read moreif he could try it out. Professor Bruno was super chill and told him that he can drop in any time they had the kids class so he could try it out, free of charge. On the trial day, Professor Bruno made him feel like he was already part of the ZR Woodland Hills Brazilian Jiu-jitsu family. He lent him a Gi so he didn't feel left out, and right away got him engaged in what they were doing. My son now goes 4 times a week, and his techniques have improved a lot. The vibe of the place is really chill (I know I use that word a lot, but that's the best word to describe this place), but also motivating, encouraging, and FUN! I appreciate how patient all of the instructors are, and how repetitive they can be so that the kids can really understand the techniques. I also admire how Professor Bruno can be silly with the kids, and how compassionate he can be when they're feeling down. I highly recommend trying them out sometime. You'll just have to see for yourself!

I felt more confident within the first 5 minutes learning from him but then he really goes into each position we might be put into and what our options of defense are to get out and attack our attacker! He even pads up and has us practice on him. I am blown away by how little I knew before this class. I would have been useless and I already feel so much stronger and safer after just one 1.5 hr session! Nelson is fabulous. He is the sweetest, most encouraging but straight forward teacher. I could go on and on about how highly I recommend him. You will NOT regret this class (definitely might feel sore after though!!!)
