Street Smart Self Defence for Children

Self defence for Junior and Primary Schools (grades 5, 6 and 7)

For almost 15 years the Academy of Self Defence and Martial Arts has continued to run the KID SAFE SELF DEFENCE program. The course helps improve the confidence and awareness of young children, allowing them to learn ways to re-act to possible threatening situations that may arise from verbal abuse (bullying) to physical attack or abduction. Children are taught skills and strategies that empower them to protect themselves from danger.
