NATIONAL CHILD PROTECTION WEEK | BOARS MARTIAL ARTS
This week on the mats, our junior classes are taking part in something that goes far beyond learning martial arts.
Throughout our junior classes, we’re incorporating age-appropriate self-defence training and conversations around personal safety, boundaries, awareness and speaking up.
We believe every child deserves to:
🥋 Feel confident in their ability to protect themselves
🗣️ Know that they can speak up when something doesn’t feel right
🚦 Understand safe and unsafe situations
🙅♀️ Learn that it’s okay to say NO and set boundaries
🤝 Know who their trusted adults are and when to ask for help
💪 Build confidence, awareness and resilience
Child protection isn't about teaching children to be afraid of the world, it's about giving them the knowledge, confidence and skills to navigate it. It also opens up the table for conversations at home.
Our martial arts classes provide an environment where children can learn, ask questions, build confidence and understand that their voice matters.
Because self-defence isn't just about protecting your body.
