Our Story
Impact Martial Arts was founded in 2010 in Canal Fulton, OH. The owner and founder Ben Baroni, has been training in the martial arts since 1991. He wanted to offer the arts in a town with no training center for the martial arts, and the birth of Impact happened. Impact has become one of the top traditional & family-first schools in Stark County. Offering classes for kids (age 5 and up), teens, adults, women's self defense groups, military, law enforcement, business organizations, boy & girl scout troops and church groups. We proudly serve the Canal Fulton and surrounding areas.
