Queer Impact

Sensei Obi is joining us for class tonight! We meet every Wednesday at 6pm, on the West side of Cheeman Park. New students are always welcome! 🥷

This pic is from when Sensei Obi was the Chief Instructor at a dojo in Parker, CO. He's now been teaching martial arts for over 18 years! 🥷

At Q***r Impact, we extend our heartfelt sorrow at the tragic death of Jax. She was a local community member who's life was taken far too soon. We mourn her passing, and we train hard so that we can help protect our community against this kind of hateful violence.

Our instructors got together for a meeting today! We're so excited to share FREE self defense classes with the LGBTQI community of Denver! ✨🏳️‍🌈🥷🏳️‍🌈✨

Our Founder and Executive Director, Obi Oberdier, starting teaching Martial Arts professionally in 2007. He founded Q***r Impact to be a FREE self defense class for the LGBTQI community, and has donated his time for over six years to make that dream a reality. He has black belts in Karate Kenpo and Jeet Kun Do, and he has trained in several other styles, including studying Shaolin Kung Fu in China. He is so excited for the Q***r Impact reboot!! Classes start this Wednesday!! 🏳️‍🌈🥷🏳️‍🌈

Watch your back people, this is exactly why Q***r Impact was created.

2 males who allegedly attacked woman at McDonald's now face hate crime charges Two males, including one juvenile, are facing hate crime charges after allegedly physically attacking a 19-year-old woman and calling her "derogatory" names.

We are excited to announce that Jim Leo will be returning to Q***r Impact as an Associate Instructor! Jim has already devoted more than six years to Q***r Impact!!! Jim originally started coming to Q***r Impact because his doctor recommended it as a martial arts group where he could be out of the closet. That is because, despite his tremendous talent and kind soul, Jim was picked on mercilessly for being different. In his old dojo and in his home, being different was punished. Despite all the challenges, Jim trained in in Ninjuitsu and Kung Fu for three decades, and he has now been training with Sensei James Faber in Jeet Kun Do for the last ten years. Truly, our community is lucky to have him, and we are so grateful that he will be donating his time to teach FREE self defense classes! ✨🥷✨ (Jim is pictured here helping out with our Drag Queen Self Defense Class ca. 2012)
