HELP with Bullying - Anti-Bullying Tips

Arizona Bullying Intervention Initiative Phoenix BullyProof Project

General Types of Bullying

• Physical
• Mental
• Manipulation

H.E.L.P. Method for Bullying Prevention

H

Have a good plan for preventing bullying.  Avoid those situations that lead to bullying.  Stay away from insults, teasing and picking on others.  Avoid reacting to taunts, teasing and harassment.  Bullying back makes things worse.

E

Elevate your awareness.  Know what bullying is and what bullying behavior looks like.  Bullying can be done by anyone, boys, girls, tall, short, older and even younger.  Remember that bullying is a behavior that needs to be avoided.  Decide not to be a bully.

L

Learn to ask for help.  It's OK to feel afraid but don't be scared to ask for the help you need.  Ask in private not in public.  You don't want to embarrass or anger others.  It is better to go to a teacher, parent or coach and report bullying behavior to help the person.

P

Protect your mind and body.  Imagine mean words as a gift you can choose to accept or just throw away.  That is your power.  As a last resort, you should shield yourself and escape to safety.  Cover your head with your arms, use a table or other object as a barrier to buy time for you can escape.

Since 1986 USA Martial Arts & Kickboxing staff have been teaching a traditional mixed martial arts program of Tae Kwon Do (Tang Soo Do) and Kung Fu classes to men, women and children of all ages.

• Jujitsu/Jiu-jitsu is a traditional Japanese martial art that encompasses the use of leverage, pressure points, throwing, locking and body manipulation.  You may be familiar with Judo (as seen in the Olympics) or Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (made famous by events like the UFC), or Hapkido (a Korean expression sharing Jujitsu origins) each are branches of classical jujitsu.  

• Kung Fu (Gong fu, Kungfu, gung fu, Shaolin gong fu) is term used in the West to refer to martial arts from China. It was made popular by TV shows such as Kung Fu (where philosophical lessons were made known) and movies featuring stars like Bruce Lee. We also offer a PFS Jeet Kune Do program (Bruce Lee’s system considered forerunner to MMA, the mixed martial arts of the UFC).

• Wushu is the Chinese name for a modern exhibition and full-contact sport based on traditional Chinese martial arts, created in China for all styles of Chinese martial arts. WUSHU is a Chinese term that literally means “martial arts” or “military arts”. Wushu is practiced by millions of people and enjoys status as the national sport in China. (We even do training tours in China to places like The Shaolin Temple and Beijing Wushu headquarters- gym of Jet Li.)

• Tae Kwon Do (Taekwondo, Tae-Kwon-Do), often referred to as Korean Karate, is a martial art that was created in the late 1950’s. Tae Kwon Do specializes in powerful kicks, improving individual character and an indomitable martial arts spirit. (Ask about our students who have trained and competed in Korea!) Taekwondo is also an official Olympic sport.

Phoenix Karate Kids Stand Against Bullying

For immediate release
Contact John Nottingham 602-896-8721

Today a group of Phoenix karate kids joined over 1.3 million students in over 2,100 schools Stand for Change against bullying.  As part of the Phoenix BullyProof project they teamed up with Defeat the Label to promote the demonstration of unity and peace.

The karate kids are from USA Martial Arts & Kickboxing Phoenix at Tatum and Greenway.  They were given fliers about the event in addition to training on how to handle bullying and the importance of treating others with respect, compassion and kindness.

USA Martial Arts Master Instructor John Nottingham said, "I started the Phoenix BullyProof Project to share peace education and conflict avoidance skills for bullying prevention.  Stand4Change was a great opportunity to partner with a national organization to promote awareness and give USA Martial Arts students a chance to put our leadership, citizenship and bullying prevention lessons into action. In addition to our workshops, camps and other bullying prevention training, it is one more way of reaching our community."

Defeat the Label/Stand4Change.org is promoting a series of events and promotions aimed at bullying awareness including a website, pledge, celebrity support as well as a song.  Celebrities such as Justin Bieber, Ellen, Cody Simpson and the Jonas Brothers have already taken a stand and you can too.  Individuals can take the pledge here.

The force behind Stand4Change.org is Ken Kragen, known for his Hands Across America "We are the World" charity song project in the 80s.  The event kicked off a movement to raise awareness about bullying and to encourage discussions on respect and peace education.

Are Kids Less Fit and Healthy Today?

The following piece is from my mentor and teacher Shihan Dave Kovar.  He one of the top teacher trainers in the world in martial arts, instruction and life skills.  Enjoy.  -John Nottingham

In my 35 years of teaching martial arts I've had the privilege of working with literally thousands of children. I continue to be impressed with the positive impact martial arts can have on them.

In recent years however, I have become aware of a trend that concerns me. Today's children seem to be way less fit than the children of a decade ago. They also seem to be more prone to injury than in years past.
I ask a doctor friend of mine about this recently and his comment was that there seems to be an increasing number of fluke injuries among children. His observation is that the sedentary lifestyle of today's child is causing major issues with the way their bodies are developing. I asked him what he felt we could do about. His answer was that kids just need to be more physically active. They need more unstructured play time.

No I'm not a doctor, but I have had years of experience working with young children and I couldn’t agree more with my friend. For children to develop properly, they need to run, jump, crawl, climb, and somersault on a regular basis.

As parents, there is nothing more important than working time into your child’s busy schedule for unstructured, physical play. So the next chance you have, turn off the tv, unplug the phone and get your kids outside for some good old fashioned fun.
