Discover The Bully Proof Power Principle

Last week, I responded to one of the many questions that I get regarding what I call the, "What If's…"

These are the questions that always start with, "What if my kid gets this…" or "what if my kid gets that…"

This is exactly like what happens when someone is learning the martial arts.

Many times, when you take a class, you will get warmed up, do some active stretches, practice some striking, kicking, rolling, falling, footwork and blocking drills, then go in to teaching specific techniques.

A technique is usually something that works in a certain situation, like when someone comes up and grabs you in a bear hug from the front.

In that situation, I would teach someone several techniques of movements that would help them neutralize the attack, escape the grab and then counter-attack.

It never fails that, after learning the techniques, someone will always raise their hand and say, "Yeah, but what if the bad guy grabs you like this?"  Here, the student will then try to grab me in a way different from what was just taught.

The answer I always share with them is simple, and it directly applies to the question I was asked after addressed the question of, "What do I do when my child is getting picked on and I don't want him to get in trouble for standing up for himself?"

In the martial arts – along with bullying and many other topics – it is NOT the technique that is the defense or where the power lies  – it is on the principle behind the technique.

It doesn't matter if it is having your child stand up to physical violence or having your child stand up to kids hazing him, stealing his pencils, verbally abusing him between classes or anything else…

Having the guts to face fear and stand up to bullies IS the "Bully Proof Power Principle".

I explain this principle in detail – along with 9 other tips – in my course "Bully Proof Kids", which you can learn about at http://www.bullyproofkids.com/index1.html.
