Anti-Bullying Training

Bullying is one of the difficulties of childhood and adolescence, which involves almost 35% of students - whether practicing or suffering violence characterized by verbal or physical aggression. Unfortunately bullying and aggressions take place, in most cases, without the knowledge of teachers and parents. The consequence for the person being bullied is a sense of fear and insecurity that disrupts schooling because it affects achievement and does not make the environment conducive to learning. It is important to note that we do not teach how to punch or kick, as this often does more harm than good. Through Jiu-Jitsu, we teach the use of immobilization to detain and neutralize the aggressor without violence. ​

We teach the little champions self-defense and the art of Jiu-Jitsu. In the program, they will learn the fundamental principles of Jiu-Jitsu: leverage, falls, and simulate blows in addition to control and immobilization of the aggressor. Non-violent self-defense techniques teach children to "counteract and negotiate" with bullies. As a result, we consider verbal assertiveness techniques an indispensable part of the program.
