Don’t Bully Me!
Learn strategies for dealing with situations involving bullying and harassment. Taught by Martial Arts Hall of Famer Lance England, the course material is based on 33 years of martial arts experience and his observations and experiences in the world of education. His instruction centers on producing successful individuals with a positive attitude toward life and a strong sense of “Can Do!” Having a degree in exercise physiology, England believes that the individual is the sum of the parts. Each person not only needs the mental skills equivalent to the challenges that they face, but they also need the confidence that physical skills can provide. The goals for children are to enable them to become a successful, confident individual with a strong positive self-image. The goal is not to train aggressive fighters, but rather to help them become well-rounded individuals who have the ability to take care of themselves. Instructor: Lancing England.
