FOR KIDS & TEENS

The primary focus is on how to avoid a fight, whether by avoiding the situation, using words to diffuse the situation, or, if necessary, dropping into a fighting stance to scare an opponent. All of these are taught as preferable to fighting. However, should a student need to defend themselves, they will be more prepared.
