Nice idea, martial arts can help improve a child’s confidence. Confidence can exonerate one from bullying.
Sara white says
I remember when i was a kid, it is difficult taking to my dad about somethings like that. He found it difficult to understand that I was not too strong to stand against my seniors in school. I rather keep quite than let him punish me. Most parents don’t really know what their kids are passing through in schools.
Sara white says
I was involved in a fight with a kid when i was in 4th G, i didn’t start the fight. The seniors were arguing on the issue, they wanted to know if i’m stronger than the other kid. They pulled us together and asked us to start fighting. It didn’t end there, the other kid was injured and the elder brother found out that i caused the injury. He said if he had cut me during the fight, he will make me lick the brother’s blood.
That was horror.
