Marie Sales
Role: Program Director
Social exclusion and bullying in schools is one of the most traumatic experiences a child can have, I know as we have seen the effects many times. It can affect them mentally, physically, emotionally and thinking that talking to them everyday about it is doing enough, it truly isn’t. There are expert programs at Alpha Jiu Jitsu that help equip your child. Children who do not know self-defense, no matter the confidence they display will not be confident enough to stand up to an aggressive bully and amazingly a child that does know how to fight will not want to engage in one and can happily walk away without having their self-esteem brought down by the bully or be emotionally affected.
