and / or Fridays 17:45 - 18:30

We understand the challenges kids face today. Over the past decade, bullying has been shown to cause serious effects such as stress, anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, fatigue, and fearfulness. That’s why at Tsawwassen Martial Arts, our Bully Proof Curriculum is an important part of every children’s class. Students learn the confidence and skills to stand up to bullies first through non-conflict strategies, and then, if necessary, how to respond safely to verbal or physical aggression.

In this class, students not only train in Karate-Do and Taekwon-Do, but also begin learning the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

With our exciting and easy-to-follow curriculum, students feel like they’re on the “Highway to Black Belt.” Training includes sparring, weapons practice, and groundwork, all taught in a safe and structured way.

This fun program also develops teamwork, physical fitness, mental toughness, and a strong positive self-image but one thing is for sure:

WE DON’T PLAY MARTIAL ARTS

Alongside sport training, students advance from verbal and physical anti-bullying and anti-abduction strategies to real-life self-defense scenarios giving them the confidence and skills to succeed both on and off the mats.
