"This program has helped Robert in many ways.  Robert has been focusing better and has been communicating with us better since he has started.  Robert started talking last March and has always been a quiet little boy now he is so excited to talk about what he has done in class with anyone who will listen.  Working with Soke has made such a difference.  Robert is also helping his mom and dad more and enjoys his chores and getting check marks.  If you ask Robert what his favorite day of the week is he will tell you, “When I go to see Soke”."

Thank you very much,

Soke Goepfert,
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your mentorship, guidance, and constant encouragement. If it wasn’t for you I don’t believe, I would have been able to achieve the goals I set out to accomplish in martial arts. Furthermore, not only have I been able to achieve my initial goals, but with your encouragement and guidance I have been able to set new and more challenging goals. Your assistance in both professional and personal matters has helped me to continue to be successful in my current endeavors.  Thank you again for all of your assistance.

Master Goepfert gave me my start in martial arts nearly 20 years ago. He was able to pass his love and passion for the discipline on to me, and even though he has moved on to other states, I have continued to practice.  Because of this, at 39 years old, I am in the better shape (mentally and physically) than when I was 20!  I give Master Goepfert full credit for instilling the passion in his students to make them want to stay with the martial arts.  Thank you, Sir!

“I want to thank you for all you’ve done for John.  He is so much more  focused and confident then I’ve ever seen him. This new attitude is spilling over into everything he does…school, chores, everything. Thank you!”

“I wasn’t sure about martial arts for my daughter but she just loves it at Impact.  I don’t think everyone realizes how the martial arts are really about self-control and personal strength. It’s not violent at all.”

Master Goepfert is one of the best instructors I have ever trained with. Master Goepfert has the highest level of integrity and is always there to help.

Master Michael Mitchell, 5th Dan



This summer my school was going through a slump bigger than usual. I contacted Master Goepfert for any ideas to help boost my enrollment. He sent me so much good information I was overwhelmed and shocked. In 30 years of martial arts training I’ve never had a high ranking instructor in any organization take the time to do this. It spoke to me that, hey, this guy really cares. Thanks Master Goepfert for caring. If you are looking for a good organization with people who are touchable and care, look no further, the IIMAA is the place to be.

I first met Master Goepfert almost 20 years ago. I had just gotten out of the service and "directionless" would be the best way to describe myself. A co-worker knew that I had been studying at different schools for most of my life. He took me to Impact in Rockford, IL. From the first class I knew what a great school it was and how awesome an instructor Master Goepfert was. Even though we lost touch for many years... He was and always will be the model that I hold myself and my students to.

I have been training in the martial arts since 1972. I have been involved in a few different organizations, some good and some not so good. This year I had the privilege of training with Master Greg Goepfert at the IIMAA Conference. The training was some of the best I had ever received. I was certified in Trac. Level 1. If you ever have an opportunity to train with Master Goepfert in this manner do so, you will not be disappointed.
The entire IIMAA Conference was outstanding. Every class was first class. The IIMAA is a great organization to be a part of. Thanks to all who made the conference happen. I’m looking forward to next year’s conference.
