According to a recent article:
The survey defined bullying as "the use of one's strength or popularity to injure, threaten or embarrass another person on purpose. Bullying can be physical, verbal or social. It is not bullying when two students of about the same strength argue or fight."
Schools are under immense pressure to improve standardized test scores because of the No Child Left Behind Act, Cornell said. "This study supports the case for schoolwide bullying prevention programs as a step to improve school climate and facilitate academic achievement," he said.
Is your child a target of the local bullies?
Children who study martial arts are at a lower risk for bullying because they gain increased focus and self esteem and feel they can defend themselves if need be. In addition, children who train at Coquille Martial Arts learn a variety of strategies to prevent themselves and their friends from being bullied, including proper verbal response, removing themselves from the bullying, and gaining assistance from their peers and from the school community.
Parents gain from listening to us as we teach these strategies as well.
In addition, children who study martial arts on a long term basis gain increased focus and increased grades. They also suffer fewer significant injuries while playing team sports. Starting the martial arts is a win-won situation. A healthy activity that helps a child academically and prevents serious injury.
