Bully Proof Your Child

This spring give your child a fighting chance

Bullying can have such a pervasive effect on the lives of our children. From declining grades, to low self-worth, to long-term damage such as depression, and anxiety well into adulthood. In some regards it is worse today than ever before due to the onset of social media; making it ever harder to hide from the abuser(s).

While I applaud the school systems for trying to stop bullying, unfortunately it is a natural part of human existence. No matter how many 10 or 12 year old's we lock up in jail, there are too many circumstances in life that create bullies. I should know, I had plenty of experience as a victim of them in my own life. So what is the answer? Easy, give your child the confidence they need and they will no longer be a target.

Confidence Course

This 6 week course is designed to give your child confidence, teach them to establish verbal boundaries, and give them physical self-defense techniques to use, just in case they ever need them. We also have a parent session where we will discuss the psychology of the bully, posturing, human behaviors, and what you can do long term to help your child when they are struggling with a bully.

Defend Against the 12 Common Attacks

Those of you that grew up where schools and kids were more physical, probably remember some of the common problems you faced - being punched, headlocks, pinned on the ground; the list goes on. I will teach your child to defend against each of the attacks they are most likely to face from other kids; giving them the confidence to deal with physical violence they might face, or may already be facing. Learning self-defense skills can be TRUE EMPOWERMENT!

Kung Fu for Kids Holds the Secrets!

Did you know:

• Childhood Obesity is on the rise, tripling since 1980.  Kids have more than a 33% chance of being obese as adults by today’s statistics (this does not include overweight).

• Kids today are averaging 8 hours/day connected to some form of media (TV, Video Games, Computers, MP3’s, Phones).  Studies show this leads to decreased ability to pay attention.

• Kids are spending far less time exercising, playing with friends, or socializing outside of school. 

• 17% of Kids in grades 3 - 12 report being bullied 2 to 3 times/month.

As adults, parents, and members of our community, it is our job to protect children from harm brought on by others, or from themselves; to prevent kids from falling into one of the above categories.

For centuries, Kung Fu has been used by warriors to hone the body, as well as the mind.  Kung Fu builds your child’s self-esteem and self-confidence, which prevents them from  being a bully target in school.  Kung Fu helps focus the mind through dedicated practice and meditation; this helps children to pay better attention in school and at home.  Kung Fu also instills self-discipline through commitment to mastery.

Kung Fu is a life long exercise, and when ingrained in children from early on, it helps them understand the values of a regular exercise routine to care for their mind and body throughout their lifetime.  Not every child is cut out for ‘team sports’, and Kung Fu gives them an opportunity to shine as an individual, while building valuable friendships with other children.  

Our Kids Kung Fu program uses qualified and well trained Adult Instructors with thorough background checks.  Our fully equipped Wu Guan (martial hall), is kept clean and safe to limit/prevent the spread of disease or infection. Our classes are for boys and girls ages 7 to 12, and class sizes are limited, to keep an environment of higher quality learning.

"The curriculum of Plum Blossom Kung Fu has significantly boosted my son's self-esteem, while raising his awareness of his responsibilities as a good citizen. The emphasis placed on becoming a role model for behavior has gone a long way to assist in Anthony's social development." - J. Rosenthal
