Parents don’t wait until your child is attacked to get them in the gym.
Parents!
This breaks my heart. 💔
And we’re gonna do everything we can to help this young man. 👊
But the BEST time to get your child training martial arts is about 2-3 years BEFORE this happens.
In my experience the tough years start somewhere around 6th grade (maybe even sooner now).
So if you don’t want your child taking any trash from “that” kid in their class…..they should start training around 3-4th grade at the latest.
6 weeks of training will do nothing. 0️⃣
3 months of training will do nothing. 0️⃣
6 months of training will BEGIN to do something.
12 months will give them a fundamental foundation of self defense
2-3 years of training with competition will give them a pretty unfair against 98% of their peers.
But the REAL skills you’re building along the way isn’t just combat.
It’s the confidence to stand up against “that” kid so it doesn’t even come down to combat.
See you on the mats,
