What Simply Works!

Whenever I read or hear news about unfortunate incidents involving schoolyard bullies, I can’t help but think of things that I can do to somehow ‘protect’ my child from them. I once thought of enrolling her to mixed martial arts (MMA) class for her to learn self-defense.

I know educating my child on how to deal with bullies is one way but being equipped with MMA skills is also good for teaching discipline and self-control. She may or may not like the idea but it’s up to her to decide when the time comes.

I have to say that a low to mid level martial arts skill would do. She doesn’t have to be an expert and be like those rough and tough women in the Ultimate Fighting show. But then again, that’s up to my daughter to choose and eventually take on.
