Austin, Texas is a wonderful city. The Oak Hill area is a wonderful community. But despite the things that makes this community so wonderful, such as our top-notch schools, there are still concerns. One of those concerns is childhood bullying.
A child can be a victim of bullying anywhere—at school, online, at a playground, or in the neighborhood. There is no demographic that is impervious to bullying.
Bullying can be a traumatic experience that could cause your child to be filled with anxiety. It can also destroy a child’s self-esteem and overall self-assessment. Confidence will take a hit. They may try to isolate themselves socially—even family. Worst of all, your child may resort to self-harm as a way to cope.
But your child can triumph over bullying.
In our kids martial arts programs at Tiger-Rock Martial Arts, we incorporate anti-bullying education into our lessons. We teach kids methods to overcome bullies, which will lead to an increase in confidence and positive self-assessment. We focus on helping students overcome bullies in an effective counter-aggressive and defensive fashion.
At Tiger Rock Martial Arts of Oak Hill, your southwest Austin martial arts academy, we want to stress that our anti-bullying program does NOT promote violence. In fact, the most effective anti-bullying tactics aren’t even physical. We educate students on how to use stances, tone, and diction to convey confidence and assertion. Most important, we want your child to take control of the situation at hand.
Thus, parents can rest assured we are not insisting that physical conflict is the only way to resolve bullying issues. Still, your child will learn important self-defense skills and tactics on our mat. We recognize that there will be a time your child will have to respond to a physical threat; we want to make sure their response is effective if the bully tries to escalate.
Awareness, communication, and self-defense are the three most important anti-bullying tactics we teach. Children need to be aware of bullying situations. Your child needs to communicate what’s going on. And finally, your child must know when to stand their ground and defend themselves.
Awareness is the best way to prevent bullying. With awareness, we teach the prevalence of bullying. We also teach how to best respond to a bullying situation. Some of the tips we provide include:

Plus, communication is an effective anti-bullying tactic. In our lessons, students learn various stances and how to use tone and diction to project confidence and stand their ground. Bullies assault a child’s self-confidence; we teach methods that will help build that confidence back up.
