I was bullied in school. It wasn’t just the physical pain—it was the fear, the silence, and the feeling of being powerless.
That experience shaped who I am today. It’s why I now teach realistic self-defense—not to encourage violence, but to help others never feel helpless again.
Bullying comes in many forms: 🔸 Physical – Kicking, hitting, tripping, pushing, or damaging someone’s belongings. 🔸 Verbal – Teasing, insults, threats, or cruel comments about someone’s body. 🔸 Social – Spreading rumors, excluding someone, or publicly embarrassing them. 🔸 Cyber – Online threats, hurtful texts, or viral shaming through images and videos.
These aren’t “just part of growing up.” They can leave deep emotional scars that last for years.
What I teach isn’t about throwing punches or “getting even.” It’s about awareness, boundary setting, verbal assertiveness, and calm, effective responses—including physical techniques, only if absolutely necessary.
Real self-defense teaches students how to: ✅ Walk with confidence ✅ De-escalate dangerous situations ✅ Protect themselves without becoming violent ✅ Rebuild their self-worth I’ve seen students go from scared and anxious… to empowered and unshakable.
That transformation is what keeps me going. If you’re a parent, teacher, or student who believes that safety shouldn’t be left to chance, let’s talk.
Because no one deserves to feel powerless.
Let’s raise a generation that’s not just strong—but confident, aware, and unbreakable.
This is great insight
