It is difficult for most people, and especially children, to stand up to someone who they perceive as having power over them.  This is not because it’s a difficult thing to do, it’s actually pretty easy.  The only reason that most people have difficulty with it is that they were never taught how to do it.  Imagine that you had never been taught to recite the alphabet or tie your shoes.  Even though these are both pretty simple skills, if you suddenly had to know them you would be in trouble if you never learned.  Defeating a bully is no different, and just like reciting the alphabet or tying your shoes, it can only be learned by practicing it yourself.  Psychologists and school councilors can tell your child how to deal with a bully, but they simply don’t have the capacity to teach him how to practice it.  That’s what we do here. Your child is about to learn a few simple foundational techniques that he can use to stand up for himself and defeat any bully.  In fact, we have several little dragons who have dealt with bullies all on their own just by using the techniques they learned in their first lesson.

The School Couldn’t Help…

A single father brought his son in because he was subject to daily bullying, just like your child is.  He had discussed the problem with school officials on but was told that there wasn’t anything the school could do.  The father couldn’t afford a private school, and as a single parent simply did not have the time to home-school his child. His son was 9 at the time and was looking at 9 more years of daily bullying and harassment in school.

When he started training with us making eye contact was a daunting task for him and, because he had always been bullied in school, he was afraid to work with the other students.  After one month of kung fu he was walking with his head up, speaking confidently, and working with his fellow students with enthusiasm.

How his Son handled the Older Bully…

The same week his son earned his purple sash the father came in as happy as anything over a call he had received from the school. An older boy who routinely bullied his son by literally pushing him around the cafeteria had tried to do it at lunch that day.  This time his son got into a lunge stance (which your child is about to learn) put his guard up, looked the bully in the eye and told him “I’m not going to move, and you’re not going to move me”.  That was all it took.  The bully didn’t even try, he just walked off.  You might say that’s great, but is he going to have to do that every day?  The answer is no. One thing you can say about bullies to their credit is that they learn quick.  And as soon as that bully learns that your child will not be pushed around, he’ll leave him along for good.
