Bully Prevention / Youth Empowerment Day

Bullying…..it’s something that has probably touched every child’s life at some point either at school, on the bus, or on the playground. Recent statistics show that bullying throughout the United States has reached epidemic levels. Has your child ever been bothered by, or been verbally assaulted by an older, or more aggressive student at their school? Maybe it even went a little further…maybe there was some pushing or maybe a punch was thrown. Many parents struggle each school year with their children being constantly abused, picked-on, harassed and assaulted on a daily basis. If your child has experienced any of these forms of bullying, or, has witnessed this type of negative behavior, our annual Bully Prevention / Youth Empowerment Day can help.

Kick Masters Karate has been instrumental in instructing elementary and middle school students on how to stop bullying through various methods involving prevention and protection for the past 13-years! In fact, our studio is the place children and parents can find non-violent solutions on how to handle bullying for just about every verbal situation. Just last year our Bully Prevention / Youth Empowerment Day drew over 800 attendees from over 18 schools in 4 counties to confront bullying with this modern and inventive approach aimed to keep children safe and thriving academically. What better way to empower children than in a fun-filled learning environment with their own peers?

Our Bully Prevention / Youth Empowerment Day gives parents and children the opportunity to obtain crucial anti-bullying information and techniques from local professionals who are experienced in bully prevention. The unique and interactive 12 anti-bullying stations help families discover steps for handling one-on-one altercations, verbal group bullying, conflict resolution, cyber-bullying and tips for stopping friends from being harassed. With these techniques parents will be given the tools necessary to handle bullying when it happens to their child.

In this exciting, supportive, and contagious atmosphere at our Bully Prevention / Youth Empowerment Day, children will learn:

Methods to stand, speak, hold your “stance” while encountering a bully…

Ways to ask for help from a trusted adult…

Strategies on how to Avoid, Ignore, and Manage bullying situations…
