We had so much fun leading Kids on the Offense: Power Over Bullying yesterday at our dojo! Thank you to all our awesome families who took the time to be a part of this important discussion.
Kids on the Offense is a nuanced approach to bullying prevention. It teaches kids ages 7-12 skills in self advocacy, respecting boundaries, awareness, and self defense while empowering parents to support their kids!
In yesterday’s workshop, families had the opportunity to reflect on previous bullying experiences, practice setting boundaries, learn some fun self defense techniques and break boards!
If you are interested in bringing our Power Over Bullying Workshop to your School or community email us at [email protected]!

We loved leading our Awareness & Self Defense Workshop to the folks at New York Athletic Club! What an amazing group of people in such a beautiful facility!
If you haven’t already watched this video from Gavin De Becker, check it out. “The Gift Of Fear: Survival Signals That Protect Us From Violence” was one of the three primary source materials that we drew upon when we created Self Offense. There are solid actions you can practice everyday to stay safe. Fear driven actions are emergency based - highly effective and not an everyday way to live your life. Be on the offense in your life. Spot the red flags before danger happens.
Come to our upcoming in person courses in LA in May 6th & in NYC in June 15th! You can also check out our online Kajabi course! Link in bio.

Check out this scene from Friends! It's a great example of saying “no,” testing out their reaction, and then taking an action based on how they respond!
If you say “no” to someone and they accept your “no,” this communicates that they are listening and willing to accept your boundaries (at least in that moment!). This is a good sign that they are trustworthy and will continue to listen to you moving forward and in more vulnerable situations.
Did you notice how easy it was for her to change her mind after testing out saying “no?” Many of us think that saying “no” will completely shut down the conversation, but YOU get to say how the interaction goes and changing your mind is completely valid!

Inspired by !
Someone having these red flags does NOT necessarily mean they are a danger to you, or even that they are a bad person - we’re all human, are sometimes jerks, we learn, and we grow.
And once you take this program you’ll be able to listen from here, and be able to notice and assess whether or not the person you’re in communication with is worth you taking the risk, DESPITE these red flags.
