Jiu Jitsu Against Bullying: Tiny 13-year Old BJJ Prodigy Mops Classroom Floor Using Fat Bully's Helpless Body

In this post, I am going to show how 13-year-old jiu jitsu prodigy Apolonia Nuncio is using jiu jitsu against bullying. The video of Apolonia mopping her classroom floor with a fat bully is a powerful demonstration of jiu jitsu that has gone viral. It was 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu black belt Geo Martinez who first shared the video online on his Instagram account. Apolonia happened to be one of his…

Hi! Since Sai was an early baby, what if it made her smaller than her pears as a kid? And the other kids make fun of her for that, Sai told what happened to Satoru, he must be so mad!

𑁍 Synopsis: No daughter of Satoru gets kicked around, not under his and Kouki's watch

𑁍 Genre: family theme, fluff, very mild angst if you squint, comfort

𑁍 CW/TW: (1.7k)— Satoru using his influence, mentions of bullying (please beware), Satoru teaching his daughter to defend herself, sassy Saika, not proofread

𑁍 Grey ✒️☕: Happy Birthday to my sweet Cat~ my munchkin isn't a toddler no more, she's ready to be a big sistahh~✨

At six years old Saika is somehow smaller and thinner than her peers. You and Satoru noticed this and never really minded it since kids don’t necessarily have to be as chubby as the stereotype. There are also kids who are simply slim. And Saika is perfectly healthy on her check-ups and she’s a very active kid. She trains like her brother and even started joining on Kouki’s Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes with Satoru’s active support. It’s simply your baby girl’s body built to be petite.

Perhaps you cannot blame your son being so overprotective with his sister, she is indeed the apple of Kouki’s eyes. So protective and indulgent with her whims. And you don’t want to get started with Satoru. He’s too much! He really needs to learn how to say “no” whenever she asks for something.

“When I first held her in my arms, I knew I would give her anything she wants.” Satoru told you some time ago while you’re talking about the kids. He opened his arms as you climb in the bed and lay on his chest. He kisses your head and drew circles on your shoulder. “She was so tiny, so precious that I could cry just feeling her heartbeat against my skin.” He chuckles with a sigh. It was just few years ago but he cannot help being nostalgic about it.

You know how much he wants a girl. Way back with Kouki, you listen to him betting on it being a girl, and now with Saika you knew he could really be a mushy dad that would spoil his baby girl rotten it’s almost unhealthy.

“You were really scared back then for her, weren’t you?” You nod, remembering how hard it was with Saika. The anxiety of Satoru’s sealing, the constant threat with you and Kouki, and finally the last trigger with the Tachibana clan. Your baby girl was so strong to endure it and come out healthy.

“I thought I wouldn’t fall in love with another girl other than you.” Satoru kissed your temples and cuddled close to your chest. “But when I saw her crying and healthy, I just knew I’d never let her go again.”

You watch your husband turn to a puddle when it comes to his Little Cat. It seems Saika will never grow out of her “princess treatment” from her Papa.

Safe to assume it will never be easy to get away if ever someone tries anything funny with the baby girl of the house. But everything isn’t perfect.

She looks different. Saika knows that. Oftentimes her difference makes her welcomed and sometimes she is shunned. What’s certain is that it makes her standout. Like the time you were called in to dye her hair into black because it’s mandatory for students to have a black hair, the school administration thought Saika has a dyed hair until you presented a medical certificate for it.

And now… her body built…

“You’re so tiny, I could flatten you if I want to!” The bigger boy laughed at Saika who was visibly smaller compared to him.

“Clearly you’re not raised enough to learn the word ‘manner’.” Saika raised her brow and look at the boy up and down. “Unsophisticated urchin.” She smiled sweetly in her siren eyes.

“You! Ugly! Ugly! Ugly!” The boy grew red in anger and spat the disrespectful words.

But it wasn’t long until the bully’s feet left the ground, his collars clutched around his neck as a taller boy easily lifted him off the ground.

“What did you say to my, Sister?” Kouki’s eyes were bloodshot livid. “Which part of you looks handsome enough that you can call my sister ugly? Huh?” Kouki growled with his aura scaring anyone nearby and the boy on his hands struggling close to peeing himself from being swept off the ground in one hand.

Satoru was the first one to hear about this from the bodyguards he stationed to monitor his kids from the shadows. Kouki has a fair share of his squabbles in school so he knows how to handle it. But this is the first time his Cat joined a public school and she’s already bullied.

“Hi Cat! Look Papa got some coupons on that doughnut café you love!” He waved at his Little Princess who just got home from playing with the neighbor’s dog.

“Papa! I’m home!” Saika excitedly clung to his legs with a bright smile.

“Yes, yes, My Little Cat is home, wanna go on a date with Papa?”

She nodded and ran upstairs to change and ran back down in her pretty pastel blue dress and silver doll shoes, ready to go.

“Up, up you go.” Satoru scoop her into his arms, easily scooping the six-year-old into his arms and went out. Saika wraps her arms around her Papa’s neck and talked animatedly in their walk and Satoru replied back with the same enthusiasm. She is his princess, and making her happy is natural for him to do.

“So… are you having fun in school? Anyone giving you a hard time? Oh! Perhaps you have a crush?” Satoru slowly thread in the question, not making his intention obvious.

Saika pursed her lips and huffed.

“Someone called me ugly.”

“Oh… did they now?” Satoru’s face darkened for a bit but tried to hold it together.

“I called him, “unsophisticated urchin” and he turned red.” Saika made a cold face and laughed.

“Didn’t you feel hurt? My poor Cat, if I were you, you should’ve kick him where the sun doesn’t shine.” Satoru couldn’t hold back being pissed enough. “You should’ve do that technique I taught you!”

But Saika shook her head.

“Mama said I don’t have to always fight back physically. Mama said, I should do it with elegance and stay pretty because that’s the best payback to haters.” Saika made a finger heart and giggled. “Him calling me ugly, doesn’t make me less pretty, right Papa?”

Instantly, Satoru’s irritation melted and chuckled, kissing his daughter’s forehead.

“Of course, my Cat is so pretty she’s the apple of my eyes.” She really takes after you… Satoru smiled at the memories of your sass and brattiness. “But Cat, if someone is really giving you a hard time, it’s not bad to ask for help or make them taste their medicine. Got it?”

Saika thought for a second and hummed to herself.

“What if I hurt them badly? That’s not good Papa.”

“Well sweetheart, I’m not saying we hurt them badly…” Satoru thought for a second of an analogy easier for a six years old to understand. “Remember when we trained and I landed a punch so close to Kiku-nii’s face that it blew his hair back?”

Saika nodded. “But your punch didn’t landed Papa…”

“Mnnn, but what did Kiku-nii say after that?”

Saika thought again… “That he thought he would fly across the room from the punch.” Saika laughed remembering her brother’s surprised look and the well-controlled punch. “So I just have to scare them?”

Satoru smirked, his Cat finally getting his point.

“Scaring is another word. It’s more like a ‘warning’. You have to show them they cannot just beat you around, and you’re strong enough to defend yourself. Got it?”

“Got it Papa!”

“Good girl, no daughter of mine gets kicked around. My Princess can defend herself, right?”

“Right!”

The next week, you look at the letter you just received from the school and looked at your husband who was grinning ear-to-ear.

“Atta girl! That’s my baby girl.”

Kouki looked at you and shrugged, totally siding with his Papa. Saika laughed nervously.

“I didn’t kick him Mama, I made sure my roundhouse kick pass cleanly his nose without touching him.

“Very good! You were listening well in our training Cat! I should give you a badge. My baby girl is so well-trained. By who? By me!” Satoru laughed, slapping the table with great joy.

“Sai… What did I say about elegance and sophistication?”

“I tried but he didn’t listened. I don’t wanna be pushed around.” Saika shrugged. “I won’t do it if they didn’t hurt me first.”

“Yes, I know sweetheart, I don’t want you to be bullied too. But the next time, you should go to the teacher first, okay?” Y/n opened her arms for Saika. “I’m not condoning violent actions, but that was brave of you to defend yourself from bullies. But again, no violent actions is considered a good action, do you understand me dear?”

“Yes, Mama. I won’t hurt anyone for no valid reason.” Saika nodded, and hug her Mama back.

The next day you arrived in the disciplinary office, ready to defend your daughter but the officer told you there was no need, the principal explained to you the matter was cleared up. The boy who bullied Saika was also suspended and their family would like to apologize for their son’s ill-mannered behavior.

Satoru on the other hand, fiddled with the camera in his hold. Posting guards around his kids is a good investment he made. It made the ‘cleaning up’ easier with the evidences in his hand. Satoru ruffled his first-born’s hair. You don’t have to know what methods they used in this situation and how they handled the ‘left-overs’. No one is allowed to bully their Little Cat or make the First Lady of the house stressed.

“Mama won’t be suspicious why those parents got off their high horses, right Papa?” Kouki smoothed his long arctic mane and tied it back to a neat ponytail.

“Hmmm, who knows? Oh well, wanna go grab some milkshake Kikufuku? There’s a good café nearby…” Satoru listed the new desserts he found, seeing his son lit up at the sound of sweets remembering to take-out some for you and his sister.

He just knew the two of them will keep their Little Cat and you happy and protected.

[terrence-silver]

I hated most of season 5, but I cannot stop thinking about Terry’s outfits and accessories. All I could think about while watching the series was how his jewelry could be dangling in front of beloveds face while he pounds into them, or feeling the cool metal hitting against the back of their skin if beloved identifies as male. Even when fighting Daniel, that unhinged and primal energy had me clenching my legs shut. I love his use of power, and ultimately overuse of power. Would you be willing to write something nsfw/smut about s5 Terry and his overuse of power with his partner? 💕

This scene? This scene.

Generally, I feel Terry would be majorly into manhandling, or overuse of power, as you called it, because it has been said before on here and it'll be said again, but the man loves his size differences. He loves differences in strength. He loves being able to subjugate beloved with ease. Throw them around like a rag doll. On the bed. Against the wall. On the floor. On the couch. Holding down their wrists. Their arms. Their legs. Their neck. Bullying them some, downright. Heck, he has a penchant for doing this to people who aren't romantically tied to him whatsoever and he does so with a smile, so just imagine --- imagine what he does to someone who is. He loves to be the one having that upper hand in physicality, only enhanced by the fact that when you place age differences into the mix too that it becomes this potent cocktail of perversion where the old man comes home from the dojo, from whatever meeting, from whatever business in the evening and he might just join beloved in bed, wanting to play, 'not taking no for an answer', being demanding, domineering and hungry, ripping their clothes off and pinning them to the mattress with his weight and the full blunt, muscular mass of his larger, taller body, intending to have his fill. Playful dubious consent? Sure. Playful dubious consent beloved isn't certain when to expect?

Yes.

That's why it is dubious.

He loves him a fight. Regardless if he always wins.

The erotic element of surprise.

Now, this might all go very well hand in hand with Terry being into Free Use. Him having beloved whenever he pleases, regardless of the time and place. It could be a kink of his, very much so; having that ultimate control over someone's consent, mind, body, soul, heart. Beloved being Terry's, dare I say, little Robot? Always ready to roll? Always expecting it? Never being able to help it because he is always simply the tougher party in the combination? Maybe putting your partner in a Jiu Jitsu chokehold as a prelude to dragging them off to the bedroom isn't a commonly and very widely accepted prelude to foreplay but it is for Terry. Furthering things when he declares he wants beloved to pretend like they're struggling. He wants the aggression, and the teeth and the helpless resistance they put up because it gets his blood boiling and he can't help but smile as their weaker limbs fail to put up a front as he wrestles them. Home invasion fantasies? Rape fantasies? Where he 'breaks into' his own mansion to surprise beloved like a would-be burglar would, stalking them in the corridors of their own house? Catching beloved off guard? In the shower? In bed? Changing? Doing some domestic chore? In an impromptu sense of intimacy that fuels his voyeuristic tendencies? Mhmm, bingo!

Roleplaying himself as the demanding spouse?

Engaging in all those homebound fetishes?

Where beloved has their duties and they are meant to complete them?

And Terry Silver isn't an easy man to please.

And therein comes his overuse of power. Where beloved will make do of their duties or he'll ''force them'' to. He is feral. He is brutal. He is sneering in this scene they've set. He always keeps himself clothed during moments like these, while fucking beloved, having properly subdued and defeated them, reaping his dues, to put even more on a deliberate distance between them, sweetly humiliating them, pounding them as they're fully naked, exposed and vulnerable to him --- so very available, whether they like that or not --- and he's all layers and suits and jewelry galore. Reaping his dues? Now, there's an idea too. Terry roleplaying the loanshark (or the greedy landlord raising rent, eh? Talk about topical!) and poor beloved being unable to pay while their, erhm, 'careless chump of a man' is away? Well, they can pay him in other ways and he'll just fight it out of them. Thing is, with Terry, one kink is always explicitly tied with several other kinks as well, and one can't talk about one without a bunch of others bleeding in as well inadvertently, bottom line is, it all boils down to domination and his physical prowess being the King of the chessboard. Terry's desire for beloved being so strong he sometimes wants to pretend he's entirely lost control and that he cannot contain himself, which in a meta sense, is entirely true, while he has absolutely upper hand of the narrative. What is imitation and what isn't? Guess the lines are blurred.

I’m officially a member of a jiujitsu school in Japan. I love it. Of course, Krav Maga will always have my heart. It’s my first martial art, and I ache to return to it. I love the explosive swirl into techniques and the mad rush to subdue your partner. I love the exhaustion we’re forced into before beginning actual training and sparring. I will never be more invigorated than when I get a full on punch or kick and have to ride with the momentum and pain to find my way into the next move. The thrill of being against two people wildly trying to throw you off balance and figuring out how to manage the two? It’s so exciting.

Brazilian jiu-jitsu is different. There is no striking and it is primarily about grappling. You are up close and personal with your partner, and breaking the contact or stalling can cost you points. Learning how to figure out the rhythm of someone else’s body and expose ways to break their guard or submission is so cool. I’m learning how to use all different parts of my body so that I can roll longer. Since I’m just a white belt, drills are the primary focus and sparring isn’t a thing yet. I can’t wait to spar. I want to go in cocky and get submitted in three seconds flat so I can learn where my weaknesses are. For now, I’m focusing on learning the technique and making it perfect.

My instructors for both, much to my vain-ass self’s pride, describe me as a boundless creature of pure energy. To my chagrin, I’m seen as very cute because I smile and get super excited whenever I get knocked down or whenever I’m told to repeat a drill again and again. My BJJ instructors have put me on the competition path. After a few lessons, they asked me why I was doing this. I said that I want to learn to fight and win regardless of how big or strong my opponent is. They asked if I was worried about getting hurt, and I said that I am going to and currently doing everything to avoid injury, but that pain is not a deterrent. Quite the opposite. I was then asked if I wanted to compete. I immediately asked when the competition was and everyone in that gym in ear-shot started laughing. But in a nice way. The master of the dojo (I think that’s how you’d refer to him?) said that I had a long way to go before I was ready to compete. I felt a little deflated at that. Then he said, but you’re a runner, so I imagine you’re going to power your way into it with no trouble. And he then told me I was on the competition path.

It’s cool because this is all in Japanese. I’m not close with my fellow English teacher JET people. It makes me a bit sad when I see them so easily becoming friends and going out drinking and enjoying the night life. I’m not one for that scene. I don’t like drinking. And I also don’t like being out and away from my safe places, especially with people who just… idk. Like, we aren’t on the same page. I understand them, but I can’t relate. However, at BJJ, I feel at home. I’m making friends, even if it’s just during class and free mat time.

My social experience here in Japan hasn’t been what the majority of my fellow ALTs are able to do. I wish I could. I try and have tried. So I’m really happy to be able to be finding a community not only among my teachers at my school, but in BJJ classes. My new table of teachers are “bullying me” into going to karaoke with them. They leave me notes and we all chat and grab coffee and snacks together. And now my BJJ buddies are just… such blessings of pure light.

I’m not good at social stuff when there is no prompt or goal. But I can do things easily when I know how to act and what is expected. My fellow teachers are amazing, but my new team makes me feel like I am actually a person. It sucks that all the fellow ALTs respect me but don’t see me as part of their groups. When everyone meets together and I see all these people with friends, I feel like there is something wrong with me. But at school and in BJJ, I feel like I belong.

How do you bully proof your children? Martial Arts is the answer!

Choosing a martial art suitable for you?

The choice to train BJJ or deciding which martial art is suitable for the individual, boils down to personal choice. There are stand up martial arts like kickboxing and Muay Thai, Judo does pins and throws and then Brazilian jiu jitsu is primarily ground game.

Whatever martial arts class you decide to enrol your child in, learning any martial arts, is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child and teenagers, as they mature in age and as they journey through life. You, as their parent, won't worry as much in comparison to a parent with an untrained child. Martial arts training is not just self-defence or a sport activity, it's learning a skill that shapes your child mentally, emotionally, physically and psychologically. Training any martial arts can teach children techniques and strategies to use their words, seek help, empathize, and rely on their strength and self-confidence to deal with and neutralize bullying.

A child won't be thinking about their bad day at school when they are in compromising positions during training. Our students have an outlet to release steam, which will help them decompress from the days stresses and become more relaxed in their world outside of training. Martial arts offers a clean lifestyle and builds your child's character. If a child loves the martial arts they're enrolled in, they are less likely to become involved in drugs or excessive drinking as they will more than likely gravitate towards other students in their dojo who are like-minded.

How does C2MA bullyproof our students?

The Gracie Bullyproof program we offer at C2 Martial Arts, is founded on the sport and martial art created by the Gracie Jiu Jitsu family. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or BJJ, are martial art classes, a self defence program and a sport that helps equip your child with the confidence to defend themselves against violent punches, verbal harassment, harmful harassment, physical aggression and physical attacks. Our kids and teens martial arts, BJJ program will build a child's confidence in more ways than just having that knowing they can defend themselves, with the technique and technical skills they'll learn at C2 Martial Arts. They will also learn respect, they will learn mental strength, they will refine their motor skills, social skills, they will develop verbal assertiveness strategies and will overall, become a more confident child, when it comes to bullying.

A Gracie Bullyproof class at C2MA taches your kids and teens and teaches them prevention with less intervention is best, when they are confronted with a threating situation. Without a doubt, by learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, your children will become a more confident individuals as they mature. They'll also learn to be humble.

When children train in Jiu-Jitsu, they are taught how to defeat an opponent, avoid various types of holds, and use their body to force an attacker into submission. Your child will also learn to subdue a larger opponent without hurting the bully. Your kids will learn all sorts of tricks that can protect them in the face of danger, like when bullies start physically attacking them. As far as self defence is concerned, when a fight goes to the ground, how do you punch your attacker? Think about it, it's pretty hard to punch when someone has their arm around your neck in a choke hold. This is why we focus on teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Your children will be taught how to disarm their attacker if they take their attacker to the floor, so they walk away unharmed.

At C2 Martial Arts, we have found that building a student's confidence is one of the best ways to help your child defend themselves against any type of bullying.

A bully or being bullied? BJJ Boundaries

At C2 Martial Arts, Crimson a Legion 13 black belt, the head instructor teaches kids how to put out fires (hostile situations) with water (level-headedness). One of the rules drilled into our young people when training at C2MA, is to never hurt your partner. That's why, you never have to worry about your child becoming an instigator of trouble or a bully with our guidance. However, if your child is a bully when they start coming to training, we'll put a stop to that too. We train children to not bully others, through discipline and by giving them an unshakable confidence in themselves, so they don't feel the need to prove themselves to anyone else or to hurt others. BJJ is the only bullyproof program for children that teaches children exactly what techniques they can and cannot use. Some moves are for certain age groups, as they can cause some serious damage, if a young person puts the move on quickly. Training is to teach them submissions and attacks if they need it in real life situations.

When someone is a bully towards your child and they're forced to respond to the bully. We'll teach your child to use their words first, to stop bullies' actions from escalating. We also focus on some nonviolent self-defence techniques to stay safe in the event of a physical attack. We find most kids will more than likely walk away or not react, as they have that quiet confidence and that knowing, that they can defend themselves if they need to. They understand they have nothing to prove to the attacker or instigator of trouble, but if they need to use it to defend themselves in real life situations, the skills they learn at training becomes a reflex and they more than likely walk away unscathed.

Crimson, in his years of training, has heard from other parents that their jiu-jitsu trained kids chased the bullies away from hurting other kids and the BJJ student, walked confidently knowing they're fully capable of managing themselves and they have the confidence to help other kids in compromising situations. More often than not, our students try and avoid confrontation. Jiu-jitsu literally means "soft art" and we've had many real-life success stories where older kids bullied our students and they put an end to it without any physicality or the use of their body to attack their opponent. At C2 Martial Arts classes, we teach our students to breathe slowly (calm breathing exudes calm composure) and speak confidently to prevent any immediate threat from a bully.

A good video to watch is the show Jr. Grapplers Gracie Bullyproof, which focuses on 33 nonviolent self-defence techniques, teaches kids to "neutralize and negotiate" with bullies.

How do you help your child fight bulling in the real world and as adults?

As parents, we cannot fully protect our son and daughters from the bullies and dangers of real life. It is unrealistic to assume that our schools can protect our children even with a zero-tolerance policy for bullying. Our primary goal at C2MA is to help parent's fight bullying by helping our sons and daughters learn to stand up for themselves and others by dealing constructively and confidently with a potential bully. While we have made great strides in raising awareness -in efforts to protect against bullying in schools and at work - as parents and educators, we must prepare our children to deal with bullying on a personal level, which can be achieve through education. Self-defence education and self-defence training.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu not only teaches kids the value of success through dedication and hard work, but it is also a fantastic way to harness your child's anger. Children need a way to feel secure, confident and empowered, so they don't walk around with "a chip on their shoulder." At our gym children are not only taught to speak confidently when needed, but they also learn how to use direct eye contact and confident gestures. This confidence and the skills they learn in training, is able to give them the confidence to deter bullies who are targeting them. Bullies usually back off when the other person stands up to them and shows no profound fear. Especially with children in the school yard. Yes, the skills kids learn can prevent bullies from causing physical harm, but Crimson often tells our school aged student practitioners to not use jiu jitsu outside of training, especially at school. This is because other children who don't train in BJJ, don't know how to 'tap'. A tap releases the attacked from a submission and in training, it's a cue for the attacker to release their grip. If a child has their opponent in a choke hold, it can be lethal. This is why, we teach our students to find other ways of controlling a situation than using the art, usually by telling a teacher or a principal. Most students, as they age, have more understanding of the skills and Gracie bullyproof techniques, so if they are put in a compromising position may use BJJ on the street in a real-life fight.

Our Gracie bullyproof program is one of the few jiu-jitsu programs for kids that segregates children by age and experience level to ensure every kid gets the perfect balance of fun, games and challenge in weekly marital arts lessons. Join our BJJ program and take advantage of our introductory free week trial offer. Our BJJ program focuses on character development and a lifestyle change. We also offer adult martial arts classes, adults can also enjoy our kickboxing class with coach Bryan. We are an MMA academy. After you receive a free trial, you will see that we have the highest quality martial arts program!

[armyybrat]

Why should you learn self-defense?

There are various reasons why learning self-defense is important. The most obvious one is the desire to be prepared to protect yourself and your family in case of an emergency. As you go about your daily life, especially as a college student, it is crucial to remain vigilant and aware of your surroundings.

Encountering someone with harmful intentions is highly unlikely, but without a plan to handle such situations, you become vulnerable.

It is important to note that victims of attacks are never at fault, and not all attacks can be prevented. However, practicing self-defense techniques can help you repel or escape from the attackers.

Learning self-defense is about developing the ability to stand your ground and stay composed under pressure. It is about gaining the confidence to effectively handle situations that would otherwise feel overwhelming and beyond your control.

Importance of Self-Defense Training

1. Defends against danger

The most obvious reason for learning self-defense is the ability to protect oneself from harm. Self-defense techniques empower you to stay vigilant and defend yourself against physical abuse or bullying using styles such as judo, karate, jiu-jitsu, and more.

2. Builds self-esteem and confidence

Self-defense training provides knowledge and skills to assess risky situations and navigate them effectively, boosting confidence and self-esteem. Confidence and self-esteem are essential components of a person’s personality and contribute to overall personal development, both mentally and physically.

3. Enhances skills

Through self-defense training, individuals can learn a range of techniques, from basic to advanced, to defend themselves against assaults. Acquiring self-defense skills can reduce anxiety in public spaces and alleviate fear when being alone at night.

4. Encourages physical fitness

To protect oneself from various types of attacks, physical fitness is crucial. Self-defense training naturally promotes physical strength and serves as a rewarding and effective way to improve overall fitness, burn calories, and strengthen the body. Exercise also enhances mood, benefiting individuals dealing with depression and other challenges.

5. Makes you street smart

Engaging in self-defense training encourages college students to be more aware of their surroundings. While no one plans to be assaulted, maintaining awareness of our environment is essential. Being prepared and alert is key because you never know when such situations may arise.

6. Builds toned muscle

Being physically and mentally prepared is crucial in the event of an attack. Through self-defense training, you can maintain and improve your strength and stamina through regular practice and exercise, leading to enhanced muscle tone and overall fitness.

7. Boosts focus, control, and balance

Self-defense training not only improves physical balance but also cultivates mental balance, enabling better focus. By learning to control your body while staying focused on your objective, you develop a sense of balance that is essential in combat situations. Self-defense skills empower students to gain control over their lives and understand the importance of concentration.

8. Makes you disciplined

Discipline is a quality that is often sought after in educational settings. Self-defense can be a powerful tool for instilling discipline in students. Particularly at a young age, students are more receptive to following instructions and developing self-discipline. Cultivating self-control and maintaining a commitment to practice are essential aspects of self-defense training.

9. Improves reflexes

In any fight, swift movement is crucial. Reacting quickly and decisively is essential to avoid being hit by an assailant. Self-defense training helps develop reflexes, enabling you to respond swiftly and strategically in such situations. Building strong reflexes is key to self-defense and personal safety.

10. Enhances social abilities

Self-defense training can also contribute to the development of social skills. Martial arts and self-defense often emphasize values such as respect for elders and tolerance towards others. By improving these social skills, you create a positive outlook and enhance your ability to interact with others. It also promotes harmony and peace of mind.

Learning self-defense plays a significant role in a student’s life, enhancing their preparedness for potential threats. It contributes to their holistic development and empowers individuals to defend themselves rather than being vulnerable and defenseless. Therefore, prioritizing self-defense training is crucial for personal safety and well-being.

The Surge of Martial Arts Among Kids: Fostering Discipline, Confidence, and Physical Fitness

In recent years, there has been a noticeable surge in the popularity of martial arts among children. This trend reflects a shift in parental preferences towards activities that not only keep kids physically active but also contribute to their holistic development. From traditional disciplines like karate and taekwondo to more contemporary forms like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the rise of Martial Arts NYC Adults among kids is transforming the landscape of youth sports and extracurricular activities.

Physical Fitness and Well-being:

Martial arts offer a comprehensive approach to physical fitness, encompassing strength, flexibility, endurance, and coordination. The structured training sessions involve a combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercises, contributing to the overall well-being of children. Engaging in martial arts from a young age establishes a foundation for a healthy and active lifestyle.

Discipline and Focus:

Central to the practice of martial arts is the cultivation of discipline and focus. Kids participating in martial arts programs learn the importance of following instructions, adhering to a set curriculum, and practicing techniques consistently. These lessons extend beyond the dojo or training facility, positively influencing behavior, academic performance, and everyday tasks.

Building Confidence and Self-esteem:

Martial arts instill a sense of confidence and self-esteem in children as they progress through their training. Achieving belts or ranks, mastering new techniques, and participating in competitions contribute to a child's sense of accomplishment. This newfound confidence often transcends into other aspects of their lives, fostering a positive self-image and resilience.

Respect and Courtesy:

Traditional martial arts emphasize respect and courtesy as integral components of training. Children learn to show respect to their instructors, fellow students, and the art itself. The structured hierarchy within martial arts schools promotes a culture of mutual respect, teaching kids the value of treating others with courtesy and consideration.

Conflict Resolution and Self-control:

Martial arts emphasize the importance of self-control and conflict resolution. Through controlled sparring and simulated combat scenarios, children learn how to manage their emotions, make strategic decisions under pressure, and resolve conflicts peacefully. These skills have practical applications in school, social interactions, and later in life.

Cultural Appreciation:

Many forms of martial arts have deep cultural roots, originating from various regions around the world. Participation in martial arts introduces children to different cultures and traditions, fostering a sense of global awareness and appreciation. This exposure broadens their perspectives and encourages cultural sensitivity.

Anti-bullying and Self-defense Skills:

Martial arts equip children with practical self-defense skills, empowering them to protect themselves if the need arises. Additionally, the values instilled in martial arts training often include a strong stance against bullying. Many programs emphasize the responsible use of martial arts knowledge, promoting a culture of non-violence and empathy.

Social Interaction and Teamwork:

Martial arts classes provide a unique social setting where children interact with peers who share similar interests. Working together in drills, sparring, and team activities fosters a sense of camaraderie and teamwork. These social interactions contribute to the development of valuable interpersonal skills.

Adaptability and Perseverance:

Learning martial arts requires adaptability and perseverance. Children encounter challenges, setbacks, and the need to learn new techniques. Facing and overcoming these obstacles instills a sense of resilience and perseverance, traits that are beneficial not only in martial arts but also in various aspects of life.

Fun and Enjoyment:

Perhaps one of the most significant reasons for the increase in martial arts participation among kids is the element of fun. Many martial arts programs incorporate engaging and enjoyable activities, making the learning process exciting for children. The combination of physical activity, skill development, and enjoyment makes martial arts a compelling choice for parents and kids alike.

Conclusion:

The surge of martial arts among kids signifies a shift in the way parents approach the extracurricular activities of their children. Beyond the physical benefits, martial arts contribute to the holistic development of children, fostering qualities such as discipline, confidence, respect, and teamwork. As more parents recognize the profound impact of martial arts on their children's lives, the trend is likely to continue, shaping a generation that embodies the principles of martial arts both inside and outside the dojo.

Pre-Teen Kickboxing / Self Defense

We have a firm belief that martial arts need to be rooted in being effective. That’s why once our kids reach a certain age, we try to incorporate as many realistic training modalities as possible.  There is an aspect of martial arts that requires focus of mind while performing movements that are complex, but these moves aren’t always effective for fighting.  We encourage our students to practice what they like, if they enjoy the performance aspects of training that’s great.  But at the end of the day, what we teach daily in classes needs to be effective for fighting.  If you’re not getting better at self-defense while you are training, then how are you supposed to gain real confidence?

Does Your Pre-Teen Struggle With:

Mood swings that make it difficult to control their actions or emotions 

Being bullied or peer pressured into doing things they don’t want to do

Academic pressure that leaves them mentally exhausted without any coping skills

Symptoms of anxiety or even depression like irritability, low self-esteem, inability to focus or concentrate, or always seeming tired

No Self-Control when it comes to eating or just not getting enough physical activity

Kajukenbo For Self-Defense

Our base self-defense system is more than a style, it is a philosophy. Kajukenbo originated with an idea, bring different styles together to try to create the most effective self-defense style possible. Although the idea seems commonplace now, during its time when you weren’t allowed to share your martial arts techniques with outsiders it was taboo. Now you can go online and learn almost anything, and that’s what is truly great about this style. Kajukenbo is a fantastic starting point for someone who is getting into martial arts. You learn to strike self-defense, throws, locks, vital targets of the body, and grab escapes.  All of these things are built around concepts that hopefully will help you further your understanding in the martial arts as you continue to grow.  

The philosophy of Kajukenbo is to take what works for you and leave the rest behind. For that reason, our head instructor has trained in multiple styles of Kung-fu, stick fighting, Thai boxing, and Brazilian jiu jitsu to try to offer a wide variety of self-defense techniques. Some students prefer to use strikes in a situation, others want to use a throw or a lock.  A wide variety of technique options are available.  

Kickboxing

Every week we alternate the curriculum between self-defense techniques and kickboxing/sparring techniques. Sparring is a great physical activity meant to develop kids physically and mentally. Kids will have to learn to deal with bigger and faster opponents. They will also need to develop the focus and timing to make their strikes effective.  

Confidence comes from kids facing down other students who have been working on the same techniques they have been. Kids learn to strike with speed, but also to have control.  We aren’t training amateur fighters, but we do want them to have the skills they need to protect themselves.

Pressure Testing

All 4S Ranch and Rancho Bernardo martial arts schools are teaching students self-defense, but we like to think we do a better job of pressure testing our students. We want our students to feel the tension and aggression from their partners. We want them to feel the adrenaline rush, so they can learn to focus on what they need to succeed in each moment. That’s why we try to get our students to spar as competitively as possible without someone getting hurt.

We also attack our students in a riot suit. Doing different drills and scenarios to try and push them. We black the lights and make them walk through a dark alley, we try to get them to run across the room avoiding the attacker. We do drills where 2-3 people will charge them across the room, forcing them to think quickly and try to survive. We want them to learn self-control and be able to defend themselves against a giant juggernaut parading toward them.  

Can My 7-Year-Old Train With Their Older Sibling?

Most of our pre-teen students are 10-13 years old. We have many 4S Ranch and Rancho Bernardo Kids who started karate young and have moved through our younger kids’ curriculum.  These kids may be nine years old at the youngest, but have developed the spatial awareness and ability to survive in this older kids’ class despite being younger.  

We know the focus for 4S Ranch parents is convenience. There are already so many activities to “uber” your kids to and fro, we offer private lesson programs that allow students to train with their siblings for convenience. That way, you can keep your kids’ martial arts classes together without having to drive to the 4S Ranch business park 4 times a day.

Evan Bass Men's Clinic: Home Gyms and Martial Arts

Evan Bass Men's Clinic discusses home gyms and explains why martial arts equipment is ideal.

Evan Bass Men's Clinic on Martial Arts in Home Gyms

Evan Bass Men's Clinic firmly believes that one of the best fathers can do for their families is to encourage everyone to adopt a healthy and fit lifestyle. One way to do this is to build a home gym everyone can use and enjoy.

The most important thing when setting up a home gym is to ensure it is properly equipped. Of course, this doesn't mean you should invest in all kinds of expensive and fancy equipment and machines to help get your family fit, but rather that you must buy everything your family needs.

We're not just talking about a treadmill and weights here. There is stuff like yoga mats, medicine balls, resistance bands, and even foam rollers – all of which will go a long way in helping you achieve your fitness goals.

It's also worth checking out the prices of exercise equipment for athletes at sites such as Amazon and Overstock. This equipment is often cheaper than in a bricks and mortar outlet.

Picking the right home gym will also depend on your family's size and fitness levels and how much space you have to put it into. You might want to start by buying free weights such as kettlebells or dumbbells, but you should also consider getting a power cage for working out.

Evan Bass Men's Clinic also notes that if everyone is going to use the home gym, you will need to set it up properly and ensure the safety of anyone who uses it. It means marking all the equipment or ensuring proper warning signs around the gym.

One great idea for a home gym is to infuse it with equipment for martial arts. Not only will your kids get healthier, but they'll also be well-prepared to defend themselves against bullies. After all, self-defense is a life skill. Also, martial arts and fitness very much go hand-in-hand.

Very few people who are deeply rooted in martial arts are unhealthy. Martial artists often achieve a level of fitness that allows them to progress in their given art. You can even make the case about how the huge sumo wrestlers of Japan, though morbidly obese, are not in bad health. Many fitness routines nowadays incorporate martial arts in one way or another, which is why it fits perfectly in a home gym.

Take boxing, for instance. Boxers undergo rigorous training that allows them to go round after round in the competition. Many fitness centers today incorporate aspects of boxing training, such as jump rope and a heavy bag. Little do they know it, but boxing also develops a practitioner's shoulder, back, and core strength. Kickboxing and Muay Thai take things further by involving heavy leg movement. What's more, the equipment for this takes up very little space in your home workout area. Add a few mats; you already have a place to practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or BJJ.

Of course, Evan Bass Men's Clinic suggests that you first study these martial arts in an official school and use your home gym to practice and build strength between days.

Evan Bass Men's Clinic touches on essential topics such as fitness, men's health, fatherhood, and more. Visit this site to read similar blogs.

Why Your Children Should Join Jiu Jitsu Classes Near Me

It's standard parenting advice to tell your kids they shouldn't punch or fight, but is it practical? Almost one in four kids is bullied, so it seems wrong to teach them that they can't do anything. Now, this is not to say that anger and violence are acceptable. Instead, teach your child a method that has been tried and true for generations by teaching them Jiu Jitsu. Find the jiu jitsu classes near me and admit them for training.

Body coordination and body awareness

For a child to master Jiu-Jitsu, they must master the intricate subtleties of complex techniques. The child's fine motor skills will improve, and their sense of balance and stability will improve as they learn these strategies. The child's coordination and balance will improve due to the development of robust neuromuscular connections. These abilities help them in Jiu-Jitsu and many aspects of their lives.

Constraint and concentration

Just look around; the modern world is bursting at the seams with exciting things to do. As a result, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is an epidemic among children. They say that self-control and concentration are like muscles; they need to be worked out. Jiu-jitsu is a lot of fun to study, but the techniques can be challenging to master and execute properly. Children have fun while being motivated to pay close attention in class. Jiu Jitsu is a great way to help kids develop self-control and concentration. The positive effects on one's academic performance, social life, and general happiness will be evident after this implementation.

Confidence

Martial arts do boost kids' self-esteem. BJJ isn't classical martial arts, yet you'll practice with your training partners daily. Learning requires two things: 

1) You understand how a method works 

2) You learn how to use the approach against an adversary. 

Instead of yelling and smashing boards, you'll observe a child fighting for dominance or escape.

Self-Defense

Last but not least, BJJ can provide your kid with a legitimate method of personal protection. Bullying should concern all schools. Your child's increased self-assurance is the most effective defense against bullies, and jiu-jitsu is a great way to instill that confidence. Self-assured children are less likely to be targeted by bullies, who prefer weaker victims. On the other hand, they won't just have mental fortitude; they'll also be armed and ready to fight through hours of training in real-world scenarios and BJJ techniques rather than through flashy, planned dance-like motions or board breaking.

Final Words…!!!

Your kid will gain a lot from learning jiu-jitsu. Young people can develop excellent problem-solving abilities and self-discipline through these experiences. Through these activities, kids can make friends for life and acquire self-defense skills that will serve them well. So, find the best jiu jitsu classes near me and join; at this point, you are suggested for "RABJJ Academy".

Their first walks on the Wayne’s garden - Chapter 1: Dick Grayson

A glimpse into Bruce's relationships with his kids, seen through the first time he took each of them on a walk through his garden.

Or: Bruce Wayne actually tries to communicate and care for his children. Because fuck canon.

Word count: 1806

Notes: Hello! This is a multi-chaptered work. It doesn't exactly follow canon (bc canon had Bruce being an awful dad) but also doesn't disagree with most of it. It's simply short stories of the batfam, all set in the same environment. Each chapter will focus around Bruce and a certain kid. This one, as the title says, is focused on Dick and Bruce.

TW// This chapter talks about racism and bullying. I used a slur in one of the characters lines, but in no way do I (or the character) condone it's use. It's there because said character is reporting a bad event. Those mentions are not graphic and shouldn't make your experience reading this unpleasent, however, if you feel unconfortable with this, please, skip this chapter.

Bruce Wayne is an introspective man with too much to do. Inside the manor, there was usually this unspoken pressure he put on himself and other to always be occupied with something. Of course, living alone, that was probably due to the fact that everyone but him was working on something - working for him. So he felt his quiet restlessness was only fair. If he ever needed to be alone with his thoughs, he would take walks around the garden, when the gardeners – who also worked for him - had already left. Every afternoon, just before the sun would set, he’d stroll through the vast green area that surrounded the building, appreciating every tulip, lily and carnation planted there. He particularly liked the roses Alfred cared for.

He jokingly called them Alfred’s children once. The buttler had told him that if this were true, then Bruce could consider himself the plant’s foster brother.

When Dick moved in, he also took a liking of the garden, although for very different reasons. He liked to be there early in the morning, basking in the sunlight before he went to school, when it was brimming with life and movement. The gardeners treated him like a son, showed him how to care for all the different flowers and plants they had and allowed him to check the bushes for bugs he could save before they’d prune and shape them. Of course, Alfred wasn’t exactly pleased with the habit, since he would always get dirt all over himself before school, and would need to change into a new uniform after being called back inside. However, no matter how upset the extra laundry made him, he would never deny the boy such a simple pleasure; when he first got to the manor, his smile was a rarity to be cherished. Alfred kept a brief mental list of everything that could put a grin on Dick’s face.

One day, after school, Bruce’s stomach felt cold and tight. Something was up with Dick. He knew it, but couldn’t explain why the small boy was gloomier, less fidgety and more still than usual. When inquired, his answer would invariably be:

“It’s nothing B, I’m fine.”

After the third attempt, he decided to approach this matter through a different strategy.

Dick was sitting next to him on the couch, pretending to watch a movie.

“Come with me,” He said, extending his hand to him as he got up “Let’s take a walk.”

He hesitated for a moment, but decided to go. The sun was starting to set, but the clouds still painted the sky white. Bruce’s pace was slow; he wasn’t in a hurry. Dick kept his head down as they walked in silence, but grew more and more nervous by the second. He couldn’t bring himself to speak right now, even if he wasn’t the type to enjoy quiet. Thankfully, Bruce noticed his discomfort and started to talk.

“I do this every day.” He explained “For some reason, it’s almost like I can’t think properly inside. Like there’s not enough room.” Dick kept himself quiet, wich scared the man a little “Of course, that sounds a little silly considering where we live.” At least he could bring a little smile to the boys face. Good. Keep going. “Still, for some reason, my head clears out when I’m outside. I noticed that when I was sixteen, and then the walks became a habit. It’s almost like my version of venting.” The sky was starting to turn pink at that point, and the clouds took on warmer colors to match it “Sometimes, everything can be so chaotic. But here, it’s always so quiet. So beautiful.”

He stopped and kneeled down, examining a pink carnation between his fingers.

“I know something’s up Dick.” He said, trying to sound understanding and caring, unsure on whether he was succeeding in it or not. “You can talk to me, if you want to. Or Alfred. It’s also okay if you prefer to deal with it on your own, but you don’t strike me as the type to keep things to yourself.” He smiled a little, standing up.

“You think I’m a crybaby, don’t you?” Dick sounded more doubtful and hurt than angry as he asked.

“No.” Bruce answered “I think you have a healthier approach to life than I do. You share things. You learn to let go, eventually. I keep silence and carry burdens because I don’t have that skill anymore. You know how to trust people in a way I’ll never be able to. I don’t want you to lose that because you don’t think I want to hear what you have to say.”

“Do you?” He asked, still uncertain and scared. “Want to listen to me, that is?”

“Of course I do, Dick.”

“Okay.” The boy still reflected for a couple of moments “It’s... silly. Some kids at school are making fun of me, and, well, it was harder today I guess.” Bruce had questions. Who were these kids? For how long had this been going on? Why were you keeping it a secret? Still, he bit his tongue. He knew he had to listen now, the questions could come up later “There’s this girl, Lisa. Mr. Hans, the gardener, he told me to give her a flower and tell her how I feel, and Alfred gave me one of his red roses for me to give her. She’s really pretty.” He sighed, ashamed “But she didn’t want it. She laughed and...” His eyes got a little teary and he choked on the words, words that tasted like iron on his mouth and felt like poison on Bruce’s ears “And she told me she’d never be with a dirty gypsy like me.” Dick couldn’t hold back the tears anymore, so he hid his face in his hands before finishing “It’s just... I never thought she’d think like that too. Just the boys was bad, but... It hurts. It hurts so much.” Bruce kneeled down to be at his height, and placed a hand on his shoulder “And then Thomas came up and stomped on the flower, called me a charity case, a circus freak, and pushed me down, and I couldn’t do anything because I didn’t want the reporters to talk about me like they did last time.” He was sobbing now, and Bruce pulled him in a hug, wrapping his arms so tightly around him, desperatly holding his child as he fell apart in front of him.

The last time he mentioned was when he got in a fight at school for the same reasons, on his first week with Bruce. The newspaper wrote a small commentary on him, titled “Richard Grayson-Wayne: Perfect heir or Problem Child?” Dick was so angry. He cried himself to sleep that night. He didn’t tell anyone, but Alfred heard him as he walked away from Bruce’s room.

“I miss... I miss the circus Bruce.” He went on “I know it’s been years now, but I still miss it. I miss moving, and I miss performing there, and I miss my mom and my dad. I wish I could have it back.”

“I know kid.” Bruce said, rubbing circles in his back.

“It was so much easier. So simple.” After a while, the tears subdued a little “I’m sorry Bruce. I don’t want to sound ungrateful. You gave me so much...”

“It’s okay Dick, you’re not ungrateful. It’s normal to miss it.”

They held each other for a little while longer. Dick was the one who let go, when he was ready to. The sky was almost entirely navy blue when they resumed walking. This time, Dick lead them to the white roses and sat down in front of them.

“They are my favorites.” He smiled, taking in their strong scent. “At least for now.”

Bruce sat down next to him and placed a hand on his back.

“Dick, I don’t want to upset you,” He started “But I need to know who’s been making fun of you.”

“It’ll only make things worse Bruce.” He answered, looking down.

“Dick, this is serious.” Bruce insisted.

“It’s just bullying Bruce, I’ll be fine. If you do something, it’ll get worse, trust me.”

“It’s not just bullying Dick.” Bruce turned around to face him, but the boy averted his eyes “Dick, those kids... I know it’s hard, but... Lisa said a very racist thing to you.” His eyes were still fixated at the ground, avoiding Bruce’s “I’ll understand if you don’t want to take action against it Dick, and I’m only trying to protect you, but...”

“It’s Thomas Kline.” Dick interrupted “Thomas Kline, Matthew Peterson, Calvin Harrington and... Lisa Randolph. They are the ones who call me that.” Both of them kept silent for a while, Dick writting patterns on the dirt while Bruce watched him.

“Thank you Dick. I’ll talk to the principal tommorow. And if those kids ever treat you like that again, well...” He smiled “You are Robin. And the media would surely belive you have jiu-jitsu lessons, should things get out of hand.” Dick chuckled a little at that.

“Thanks Bruce.” Dick launched himself forward, wrapping his arms around the man’s waist and burrying his face in his chest.

“No problem.” Bruce smiled as he ran his fingers throug Dick’s dark, messy hair.

...

“Alfred,” Bruce called as he pulled his suit on “I just tucked Dick in. I need to go out for the night.”

“As Bruce Wayne? Or should I worry, master Wayne?”

“Andrew Randolph is throwing a party. I wasn’t planning on attending, but due to current events...” He smoothed his shirt and he walked through the door, Alfred following suit. “We need to talk about his parenting skills.”

...

The next morning, Bruce made the front page. Dick woke up to “Good Morning Gotham!” showing picture’s of him punching Andrew Randolph’s teeth in, in the middle of the socialite’s ball room. The kid’s hair was still smushed on the side, his eyes were a bit puffy and he wore his pajamas as he watched it.

“I don’t know, Charlotte,” One of the anchors commented “The attack seems completly unprovoked.”

“Well, Peter, we have no clue on the content of that conversation.” Charlotte answered “What happened that led the sociable and easy-going billionaire to lose his temper like that?”

“Actually,” The third person, a woman named Nadia, began speaking “When asked about the incident by one of our reporters, Bruce Wayne answered with a simple ‘I don’t appreciate any kind of prejudice. Especially if it’s directed towards my son.’ It’s safe to say that what provoked the fight was, most likely, an unnapreciated comment on Richard Grayson-Wayne’s romani heritage.”

Dick turned off the TV and turned to the man queitly sipping his coffee behind him.

“What did you do last night?”
