Let’s Talk Bullying.
As a parent myself and a martial arts educator teaching thousands of children, tweens and teens in our community, I give young people the tools they need to not get bullied and to not become a bully themselves.
I am sharing this video with you to offer every parent and young one a simple tool in dealing with being a victim of Bullying.
I look to tools such as this to gain the know how and the verbiage to be able to effectively and openly communicate in the best way possible to young people about this and other topics which I think are relevant to self-defense.

I constantly continue my education, I’ve enrolled in the online course of this speaker as well, it’s offered at a nominal fee. I have already been implementing some of this information into our lessons for children. After I complete the course I’ll be sharing the new stuff of what I’ve learned also. Parents like best that I reinforce what they are teaching their children or if they can’t find the right way to explain it themselves, they have comfort knowing that I can and I do it well. Here is a link to this speakers website (I get no money from this) http://BrooksGibbs.com
The speaker, in this video, distinguishes between bullying which is verbal/emotional verses bullying which is physical. I like his distiction.
If your child is a victim of bullying or has been a bully themselves parents are always welcome to set up some private time to speak with me for tools and ideas or to sit down with your child to discuss the issue. Call me at (201) 933-3050 or email meDan@TheDOJO.org

We specialize at giving children the right tools such as conflict resolution which is non-violent, teaching children how to manage their anger, and how to outlet stress and anxiety in a safe way.

We give children confidence by teaching confidence building in all of our lessons. Children learn skills such as assertive communication and how to properly set a verbal boundary, they learn the proper physiology so they may posture themselves defensively as well as how to simply stand up for themselves non-violently or even just walk away with their head held high.
When it comes to physical self-defense, we teach that and better than most people would. But when it comes to self-defense there are so many things that can be done to prevent being an easy target in the first place. That is where self-defense begins, what we get to talk about and learn before something bad happens is 10 times better than learning it after it occurs. Children protect themselves with their knowledge, these are the kind of tools we give children in our martial arts education of intelligent curriculum, we unleash human potential.
Let me know what you think of this material.
