Training with Protective Gear
All kids are treated as winners
We focus on the positive. This means we use the training time to explore and practice skills that can prevent, avoid, de-escalate, or stop a problem as soon as possible. We do not use scare tactics or stories that focus on children being victimized. All the kids are treated as winners and encouraged to be their best.
There are allot of parents who are really keen to get their kids involved at a very young age. We do not believe in formally training kids when they are 3 or 4 years old. Your child will gain allot more from just playfully wrestling with one of the parents or brother/sister at home.
We accept kids from 6 years old to join the Bully Proof your child program. The program caters for all children who are officially in primary school.
Too young for our classes, but not too young to start training
