Young Boys in Karate Poses
The general theme of the clinic will be using martial arts as a vehicle to build confidence while
reinforcing positive values and good character. The underlying implication is
that students become better equipped to deal with the challenges they face. It
speaks to the heart of the bullying issue (lack of self-confidence) while
guiding them towards sound character and morals. In speaking about bullying,
most martial arts programs rely on striking the attacker with violent punches,
kicks, knees, and elbows, but we take a different approach. All the techniques
are purely defensive and utilize no strikes. Furthermore, we teach children how
to defuse confrontations with words and never to initiate physical aggression.
If attacked, we offer techniques to non-violently neutralize the threat and
gain control until help arrives. Basically, we teach the children how to fight
fire with water so that parents never have to worry about their child becoming
a bully under our guidance.
