[quote=Anonymous]Martial arts aren’t talk to kids in this aggressive fashion. There’s just no practical way to do it. No one is going to be comfortable with the hand to hand grappling inspiring that would be needed to get a child up to a level where he could beat up his bullies ninja style. That said, martial arts is beneficial because generally the proprietors are good with kids and have lots of experience teaching self-confidence, discipline, assertiveness, and a certain familiarity with being hit. As women, what we see in movies is women being hit or grabbed and freaking out in terror. As a woman who trained in martial arts, you can count on me trying to hit back and get away, and recall some of the soft areas like the eyes, the groin, etc.  your kiddo will pick up these skills after some time.   In a bullying situation, I think the immediate benefit is that the instructor can help the child work out some strategies, like yelling “no” loudly or “stop that” loudly and giving him a voice and some confidence.  So sorry for what you were going through, that totally sucks. Best wishes to you and your kiddo.[/quote]
