Bully Shield- Bully Prevention Program

Bully Shield Event Educates Kids and Families on the Issues of Bullying

 

This past weekend at Tiger Schulmann’s Mixed Martial Arts in Wayne, dozens of kids and their friends and families attended Bully Shield.  This seminar is gear towards showing kids what may happen and the right ways to handle different situations.  Students and instructors role played and acted out many different scenarios, many with humorous results, but all with a serious message…  “Bullies are out there, but with confidence and knowledge on handling them, no one will ever bully you.”

It is really kind of sad, that so much effort, time and resources have been wasted on trying to legislate bullying out of existence.  Many of these programs have already been labeled failures by the school systems themselves.  Even our state government has legislated what has been called the toughest anti-bully laws in the country.  Unfortunately, what ultimately happens is bullying still goes on and in many instances; good kids who aren’t bullies somehow get caught in the bureaucratic red tape and get labeled as bullies themselves!

The solution is simple; just ask any of the thousands of kids who have overcome bullying issues through martial arts training…CONFIDENCE. 

Parents, counselors and teachers all suggest to kids to use their confidence and stand up for themselves, but the problem is, what if a kid doesn’t have any confidence?  How do they get it?  Where does it come from?  One place for sure…Tiger Schulmann’s Mixed Martial Arts.
