The National Education Association reports that more than 160,000 kids miss school every day because they are afraid they will be bullied. Almost 300,000 students are physically attacked in secondary schools every month. One professor put it brilliantly: “Jiu-jitsu doesn’t teach children to be ‘monsters’ but does teach them what to do when they encounter one!” Common self defense situations and the mental tools to deal with physical intimidation are taught in the anti-bullying classes and invaluable in helping victims of bullying.
