ANTI BULLING PROGRAM
At Horizon Martial Arts, we believe kids should feel safe, confident, and capable—at school, online, and in everyday life.
Our Anti-Bullying Program gives children practical tools to recognize bullying, respond confidently, and remove themselves safely from difficult situations. The focus is on awareness, confidence, communication, and personal safety—not aggression.
This is a positive, age-appropriate program designed to empower kids without encouraging fighting.
How the Class Is Taught
This is not a lecture.
Kids learn through movement, games, drills, role-playing, and guided discussion.
Classes include:
Confidence-building posture and awareness drills
Scenario-based role-playing using age-appropriate examples
Simple, safe self-defence and escape movements
Group activities that reinforce teamwork and awareness
Our goal is to help kids remember what to do when it matters.
