Empowering One Child
at a Time.
A children's inability to stand up to a bully is rooted in a profound fear for their personal safety. It’s this fear that backs the bully's every action. So we teach the victims to defend themselves against physical attack, and the rest follows.
We teach children to become verbally assertive, rather than physically assertive.
Wk develops self-confidence in a child though postive reinforcement, the development of skills (and the satisfaction that comes with that) and the belt earning system.
Although it is a martial arts based program, and their bodies are trained to react to danger, their minds are trained to avoid it.
We demonstrate to student’s that bully’s target those with low self esteem, so we show them what confidence looks like - how to gain and show it.
Our goal is to drastically decrease instances in bullying all over the country.
A confident child - is a bully proof child!
The only way to stop bullying is to encourage children to stand up for them selves and each other.
This is a fact: When bystanders defend or support the student getting bullied often the bullying stops quickly. Research shows that with 85% of bullying incidents at school, it has been shown to stop within 10 seconds when bystanders take positive action. *

We demonstrate to children that it is okay to defend themselves, and also to notice if another child is being bullied and stand with the victim.
