Self Defence For Kids
BEGINNERS CLASS
The beginner's class is the first experience your child will have in the martial arts and we believe this is one of the most important times in your Childs personal development.
The class is to teach the children the basics of self-defence and also to teach them about themselves and there own capabilities.
We aim to build on your Childs self- confidence and encourage the students to work in teams and help each other. The students will learn how to fall if they are attacked without harming themselves and how to take up a ground defence should they find themselves on the ground and this is vital for all students.

BULLY DEFENCE BASICS
At Shogun World, we believe the best defence you can have against a bully is to be truly confident that you are strong in mind, body, and spirit. A positive self-image will lessen the likelihood that you will be targeted by a bully in the first place. Using martial arts to protect you must always be a last resort. Here are some tips that may help you.
Bully Defence on the Bus
1: Sit near the front of the bus! Sitting close to the driver will make bullies and teasers think twice before acting for fear of getting caught.
2: Don't stay silent! Unless you feel that another kid will physically attack you if you speak up, remaining completely silent while kids are harassing you will only encourage them to keep doing it. Try one of the following: Directly ask them to stop. Distract them by starting a conversation that might interest them.
3: Sit with friends! There is strength in numbers. You are less likely to be singled out if you are sitting with others.
Bully Defence at Lunch
1: Move your seat! Ask a friend to move with you. If you are assigned to a seat, ask an adult if you can change it. If he or she says no, tell your parents so they can talk to the person in charge to get your seat changed.
2: Sit close to an adult! Bullies don't bully and teasers don't tease around adults? So sit as close to one as you can! If an adult who is supervising doesn't recognize the problem, please tell a teacher you trust or your parents.
3: Be the first one to enter the lunchroom and the first one to leave! Don't waste time in the halls when going to lunch or when getting back to class after lunch. Wasting time only gives bullies more opportunity to bother you.
