Develop High Self-Esteem
The physical and psychological effects of bullying are often extremely harmful, far-reaching, and long-lasting. Bullying commonly begins in the 2nd grade and occurs throughout life. It can be physical, verbal, or indirect, and can range from mild teasing to spreading rumors to pushing and hitting. Bullying frequently occurs on the internet as well. Having high self-esteem gained through martial arts training helps children stand up to the negative issue associated with bullying. It is important for a child to develop high self-esteem and strong friendships to distance themselves from situations where they could be bullied.

We will teach your child to walk away (while staying calm and not running), tell the assailants to stop and leave him or her alone, and to use humor to rapidly halt a bullying situation. Making eye contact with others (especially the bully) and to talking with a strong voice are also shown to reduce the occurrences. Naturally, we also teach skills for self-defense when conflicts turn physical.
