At Krav Maga Somerset, we know every parent wants peace of mind when it comes to their child's safety.
That’s why we’re setting the record straight on children’s self-defence—because every child deserves to feel secure and empowered in a welcoming community.
Let’s clear up some common misconceptions! 🛡️
Myth 1: “Self-defence means learning how to fight.”
Truth: It’s mostly about staying alert, avoiding trouble, and making wise decisions, not just physical moves. The aim is always to stay safe, not to win a confrontation.
Myth 2: “Kids should stick to playing fair.”
Truth: In real-life situations, there are no rules when your wellbeing is at stake. We focus on teaching effective, straightforward techniques that prioritise safety over fairness.
Myth 3: “Only certain places or times are dangerous.”
Truth: Risks can arise anywhere, at any time. Self-defence helps kids develop readiness and trust their instincts, without living in fear.
Myth 4: “The police will be there right away.”
Truth: While police are crucial, your child’s immediate response can make all the difference. Simple, practical skills can empower them until help arrives.
