Kids Self Defense

Confidence Training for Kids

“We can’t rely on adults to save kids; they need to know how to protect themselves. With crime rising, many parents worry about their children coming home from school, taking public transit, and walking with their friends.”

Did you know?

About 1 in 5 students report being bullied every year. Sixty percent of students with disabilities report being bullied. These statistics include physical violence. Over 40% of students who report being bullied fear it will happen again, which is why many students won’t report the issue to a teacher or school administration. An astounding 70.1% of LGBTQ students report being bullied. The reasons for being bullied reported most often by students include physical appearance, race/ethnicity, gender, disability, religion and sexual orientation.

The effects of bullying include increased risk for depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, lower academic achievement, and dropping out of school. Youth who self-blame and conclude they deserved to be bullied are more likely to face negative outcomes, such as depression, prolonged victimization maladjustment and in some cases- hospitalization and suicide.

Luckily, there is a solution

Research has shown that self-defense improves self-esteem, physical self perception, and self-efficacy in young adults and children. Our objective is to teach kids the ABC’s of Krav Maga: avoid the problem, set clear boundaries and deescalate the situation - and if all else has failed, combat a bully. We work with schools, private groups and individuals. Reach out to us if you would like to bring AVIIR to your school or youth organization.

Every Child Deserves to Walk in Peace

“Raz, you have given my son confidence. You introduced him to physical fitness and have given him the skills to approach uncomfortable situations. You also created a space for he and I to bond. You are special. I enjoy all of our time together. Every class is a new adventure.”
