The kids went to an anti-bully seminar over the weekend in their BJJ school. I can't help but think - how can we be anti-bully? Bullys are one of the greatest things on the planet! :D
Anyway, things they learned:
1.) Do not be the bully. A trained martial artist bully is the worst kind of bully.
2.) If you see a bully making fun of somebody, don't aid the bully by laughing.
And the kids learned steps to deal with a bully who targets them:
1.) Ignore the bully. Just simply walk away.
2.) When a bully gives you a put-down, immediately give yourself a put-up.
3.) If the bully targets you again, tell the bully in a clear and calm manner to Stop because it makes people feel bad. Walk away and then tell an authority (parent, teacher, etc.) about the incident in a calm manner in complete detail and without embellishments or exaggerations.
4.) If the bully tries to use physical force, use your BJJ training to take him down, then walk away at the first opportunity and tell an authority.
I added a 5th step:
5.) Then go home and hug your bully and get some good bully lovings in return.
