About the Class

Our kids program will also empower your kids to prevent or discourage bullying without violence. Throught appropriate and effective self-defense techniques, we instill the self-esteem and cofidence needed to allow kids to defuse confrontations befre they escalate, and how to protect and defend themselves in the event they are attacked. Bullying is the #1 social issue and epidemic in schools today. It has a ripple effect throuhout our community.


Every 7 minutes a child is bullied in the US. Every month, 3 million children miss schoool due to fear of bullying. 90% of 4th through 8th graders report being victims of bullying. 1 out of 10 students drop out of school due to repeated bullying. 70% of students believe schools respond poorly to bullying and that adult help is infrequent.


DO NOT LET YOUR CHILD BE A VICTIM!
