10th planet for kids self defense

cant wait master Eddie!!! thats excactly what Jacob want for his birthday, to train with Master Eddie again. What an awesome early b-day present:)

I agree. If the instructor is responsible in how and what they teach Martial Arts helps prevent bullying and street fights for most kids. That was a great video spot and looks like an awesome program! So cool for 10th planet. We do a regular monthly "bully week" at our school and even have a "Bully Game" for the younger kids that teaches non-violent ways to deal with bullies, then the slightly older kids get more hands on training. I also agree besides just a self-defense class or seminar(which is great) , enrolling your child in a regular class is the best! Especially for kids- they need to have these moves be second nature to be able to use them is a stressful situation and Jiu-Jitsu is all hands on, practical and can be non-violent if needed. Thanks for the share, very cool to see.

I have two things to say about this: 1. When it comes to kids, generally speaking, teaching them a martial art actually reduces conflict. It's the same way that teaching your kids firearm safety reduces gun accidents. Kids will be kids and kids will fight. But when a kid knows how to fight, they realize that they can seriously hurt someone and that's not to be taken lightly. So it seems that kids are more confident because they know HOW. The confidence is a deterrent to bullies. And the kids avoid fights because they know they can really hurt someone so they only use it when necessary. 2nd, make sure the parents aren't the type to look for trouble and the kid won't be either.

LOL. Nah, anti bullying methods combined with martial arts isn't a Gracie exclusive. They'd get laughed out of court.

We really have some great kids. Most of my best students are on the honor roll. Instead of teaching decipline. We teach self decipline. They are taught that there is a time and place for everything. We hav'ent had any problems with our kids being aggressive towards any other children. The mma is slightly modified for the kids, the sparring is limited to keep everyone happy and healthy. The 5:30 slot in our schedule is the peak of my day!

simply amazing..nothing but positivity
