Make Self Defense a required physical education course from elementary though high school.

We believe that it is vital to teach students self defense to be able to defend themselves in threatening situations. This is especially relevant in situations such as bullying, human trafficking, kidnapping and any situation where a student is in fear of being attacked. By making this a part of a students life from an early age it will equip our students with self confidence and may have a positive effect on self image issues, prevent anxiety, depression and suicide. Research shows that knowledge in self defense lowers a persons chances of becoming a victim as well as increasing awareness of surroundings. Self defense is an important skill that will teach our students self respect, improve physical conditioning, self discipline and have an over all positive influence on a students life.
