We all want our children to be safe. We want to protect them from the dangers of the world - including dangerous people. As they grow up, however, we can't be with them every moment of the day - and this is exactly why kids need to learn how to watch out for danger, and how to protect themselves if they are ever in a threatening situation.
At Impact Martial Arts Naples, instructors share age-appropriate lessons on child safety and self defense with the students in their classes. Kids learn safety rules such as: staying together with their parents and guardians in crowded places, asking permission before going somewhere, what to do if they get lost or separated, what to do if they are approached by a stranger, the importance of always going and telling a trusted adult what happened, and more. The instructors aim to make sure that children can avoid bad situations in the first place - and they also teach kids how to physically defend themselves if necessary.
Depending on a child's age, self defense might be screaming and yelling, biting and scratching, hitting vulnerable targets, breaking free from grabs and holds, or simply saying "NO!" in a confident and assertive manner. Students at Impact Martial Arts not only receive instruction on these techniques, they also get to act out and role play situations so that they will be better prepared if they ever happen. The instructors make the practice fun and educational, and the kids get a chance to hone their self protection skills.
Parents at Impact Martial Arts say that they are very thankful that the instructors are teaching their children these important, potentially life-saving lessons about safety and self defense. They say that their kids really like the exciting martial arts lessons, and it's even better that they also gain real life self defense skills. We hope they never need these techniques - but if they are ever in a threatening encounter or dangerous situation, we are thankful that they have the ability to defend themselves and escape to safety.
