Direct Action Tactical - Youth Impact Program


D.A.T.’s Youth Impact Program is a 4-week program of situational awareness, self-defense training, and fitness. Curriculum includes topics on de-escalating a confrontation, dealing with real life scenarios, bullying and much more. We constantly hear about child abductions, gangs, date rape, bullying, etc. We feel very strongly about kids knowing how to defend themselves.
The classes are an hour and a half twice a week. We do real striking on Body Opponent Bags and heavy bags as well as some hands on application.
This training is designed for 13-17 year olds
The techniques given to the student will be realistic and delivered in an age appropriate setting.
During the program, the students and instructors will travel off site, to demonstrate and discuss situational awareness in a variety of venues such as: parking lots, the mall, or school campuses. (**parents are welcome to attend this portion usually held day 2**)
We are fortunate to have many police officers as instructors who will also reinforce some of the “where and when” for these techniques.
2 days a week for 4 weeks (1.5 hrs each day)
Minimum enrollment: 6 students

I love my family more than anything in the world.  From the time that my daughters were little they knew that when they  turned 13 they would have to take one year of karate. This as an effort to have them learn basic self defense skills.

Daughter #1 turned 13 and after a few weeks it was time to start looking for a dojo.  I came upon the DAT info and thought that their YIP program looked interesting. Its not the one year of training that matters, its what is learned.

After stopping by the DAT HQ, and being impressed with what I heard, I enrolled D1 in YIP. She reluctantly went to the first class and instantly LOVED IT.

The quality of what she has learned so far is top notch. And she voluntarily asked to stay for the follow-on 13 weeks.

I highly recommend Direct Action Tactical's Youth Impact Program. Just google them - they are in Lancaster, PA.
