I have been training at Impact Self Defense for about 3 years. I started training Jiu Jitsu for several reasons. I feel that Jiu jitsu has given me an outlet to exercise and improve my physical conditioning. Also, I have always enjoyed martial arts and feel like Jiu Jitsu is the most effective of all the styles. As someone who has taken Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Aikido, Jiu Jitsu is my personal favorite because Jiu Jitsu, one learns how to use many special grappling techniques in order to to subdue and submit ones opponent. Because of this, one has the ability to use the appropriate amount of damaging force against an opponent, depending on the specific situation.

I have continued to train at Impact for several reasons First, Karun is a likeable, fair, caring, and an great teacher of Jiu Jitsu. Without question, his utmost concern is for the well-being and development of his students. Training at this school has been fantastic because the facility is large and clean, the students are helpful and considerate, and the training is second to none. Not only is training here fun and exciting, but the challenge of improving in this martial art is always motivating. I would encourage anyone to train here who wants to be in a fun, safe, and high quality school.
