Every child deals with bullies in their life, and unfortunately what worked for today's adults doesn't always work for modern children.
Bullying has been linked to depression, anxiety, physical health deterioration, reduced grades, and higher risk of addiction. It's far more than a childhood rite of passage, but instead a serious problem impacting families worldwide.
Dave Kovar got into martial arts in response to bullying, and has made bully resistance and prevention part of his teachings from the beginning. His program Done With Bullying teaches the best methods for stopping bullies in their tracks, in schools and martial arts schools in multiple countries. In today's video, he runs us through the key differences between "old school" and modern bullies, and walks us through his four-point system for preparing our children to stop bullying in its tracks.
