| It is my belief that children should know how to protect themselves -- not just how to fight but how to deal with the bullying, fearful, and dangerous situations that all children face at one time or another. As much as we would like to be around children to protect them, we can't. The next best thing is to give them the tools, principles, and learning to take care of themselves. This children's class is unlike any other you will find because it combines the fighting techniques of Kung Fu San Soo and the street awareness of Andre Salvage's Assault Prevention Seminars. We combine safety and self-defense principles in each class, focusing on principles and techniques that will help children be safe, strong, confident, aware, and assertive. Class Curriculum: Awareness - Understanding, knowing, trusting, and following one's intuition
