Phoenix Martial Arts Instructor Teaches Peace Prior to Punches

How a Phoenix Martial Arts Instructor is Using a Peace Philosophy to Teach Children and Adults How To Prevent Bullying and Stand Up For What Is Right

One of the more common misconceptions about martial arts is that it teaches violence. At it's core, most traditional systems subscribe to a code of ethics and peaceful philosophy that promotes non-violence.

A true martial artist is probably the most peaceful person you will meet. Martial Artists work on understanding aggression, anger, and human conflict as well as study history and philosophy. These lessons instill in the martial artist both compassion and humility.

The battle avoided cannot be lost. -Sun Tsu

Verbal Judo Reduces Conflict and Prevents Bullying

By equipping students with life skills and negotiation skills they can prevent verbal attacks from escalating. From issues of harassment and bullying, on the playground, at school or in the workplace, these tactical communication skills arm students with the tools and confidence they need to prevent verbal bullying attacks from escalating.

Field Tested Tactics:

Over 700,000 law enforcement officers have been trained in the tactics of verbal judo. These same techniques are now used everyday by children all over the Phoenix area. They are putting to use what they learn in our Verbal Judo classes to stop bullies in their tracks with just words.

Effective Communication:
Verbal Judo isn't just about stopping bullies and bad guys. These communication skills transcend all levels. We teach kids how to keep their cool when angry, how to respond appropriately to someone that is mad at them, and how to really listen to what others are communicating.

Peace Prior to Punches:
At USA Martial Arts Phoenix, we teach our karate kids not only how to defend themselves but when it is appropriate to do so. Using the Verbal Judo Five Steps, your child will know how to respond to various threat levels and also be able to defend their actions at school when faced with a bully.

Not only am I a 6th Degree multiple Black Belt holder but I own a Security and Bodyguard training company. I don't state that to impress you, but to impress upon you that I can help. My team and I have been teaching these concepts to military, bouncers, doormen, security officers and others for decades because they work.

• Did you know that over 700,000 Police Officers have been trained in Verbal Judo?
• Did you know that the founder Dr. George Thompson was a professor, Police Officer and martial arts Master? He founded Verbal Judo on the non-violent strategies of ancient martial arts self-defense wisdom.

Our BULLY PROOF VEST program teaches the 3 Shields of Protection and is specifically designed to train children in how to de-escalate, deter and defend would-be bullying situations. They learn to derail an escalating bullying situation using verbal skills that are proven in the field.

In This Bullying Prevention Program Children Learn:

• How to stay centered, calm and emotionally separated from the situation
• How to respond rather than react to insults, taunts, exclusion or manipulation
• How to recognize anger triggers and avoid them
• How to retain their dignity and help themselves out of sticky situations
• How to stay strong, show confidence and be socially assertive without being aggressive

Included are role playing scenarios where children learn how people make decisions and judgments based on first impressions. They learn to use humor, and project inner-strength to not appear as good targets for bullying. Children learn to use appropriate responses through verbal judo practice and clever comeback lines.

In our Bullying Prevention program, children learn to become more self-aware and how others may perceive them. This goes a long way in helping them understand self defense skills that transcend bullying protection and extend into other areas of personal safety.

This Bullying Prevention Program is Designed To Work in the Real World:

• Bullying Prevention at the Playground
• Bullying Prevention in and Around School
• Bullying Prevention around Their Neighborhood

These Bullying Prevention Skills are designed for practical use and are taught in a simple, fun, step-by-step format.
