Free Bullying and Predator Prevention Classes

The Pro Martial Arts Armor program teaches children how to stay safe in an increasingly dangerous world. By enrolling your child, you acknowledge the serious safety threats that your child may face and are making sure they have the armor needed to stand tall against bullying behavior and predator activity - both online and in their everyday lives.

Bullying Prevention

We teach students:
•To recognize bullies and not become their victims
•To carry themselves with confidence, to set and respect personal boundries, and to be assertive when seeking help
•How to use martial arts defensive skills (as a last resort)
•The characteristics of bullying and the red flags to look for
•How to avoid cyber-bullying

Predator Prevention

We teach students:
•The real safety issue isn't strangers, but STRANGENESS

•Appropriate versus inappopriate adult behavior
•Online safety and rules for families to go by
•The importance of good communication between parents and adults, as well as sharing with each other daily
