AKA karate students are taught to respect their fellow human beings and to be respectful and courteous to all.  This in itself is a part of true self-defense.  The AKA Self Defense program for children is designed to keep kids safer in their normal environment.  The focus is on the philosophy that karate should be used as a last resort and that a karate adept never initiates trouble.  Although we teach kids how to punch, kick and defend strongly, we also teach verbal skills and strategies to avoid having to use the skills learned.

Unfortunately in our view, verbal skills to diffuse confrontations and just walking away are not always enough.  Being a parent myself, and teaching hundreds of kids over 4 decades, in my experience, children that know how to defend themselves are rarely selected as victims. You should feel a lot easier knowing that your child has gained an education in how to protect themselves when there are no other options available.

In earlier times the best education was always the “Sword and the Pen”… meaning a balance of both mental and physical skills to enjoy a better life.
