Our Story

• Impact 360 began in 2005 in Searcy with three students under the name of the Arkansas Martial Arts Academy.
• The Arkansas Martial Arts Academy changed its name to IMPACT 360 in Fall 2008 to reflect its emphasis on the shaping of the whole person and its inclusion of several programs in addition to martial arts. “Impact’ refers to the effect we want to have on the community and “360” to the holistic interest we have in shaping the whole person.
• Impact 360 is intentionally building bridges between genders, generations, and people of various educational, racial and socio-economic backgrounds.
• In May 2009, Impact 360 received its full 501 (c) (3) status as a public charity by the federal government.
• Currently the organization serves students and their families in Searcy, Augusta Arkansas and Memphis, TN.
• The youngest student we have had was three years old and the oldest was 73.
