Womens Self Defence – How Safe Is Your Child With The Increase In School Violence?

How Safe Is Your Child With The Increase In School Violence?

Official figures that were released in July 2009 showed that in England 65,390 pupils were temporarily excluded for violence against other classmates. And this is on the rise compared to previous years. In some parts of the country figures were up by 110% on the previous years.

The shadow children’s minister said that “This is further evidence of the lack of discipline in our schools. It is vital that teachers are given control over the classroom so they can deal with bad behaviour before it escalates into violence”

However, this is not a situation that happens within the classroom. Violence and bullying within schools is more prevalent away from the direct supervision of teachers. On the whole these types of incidents happen either on the way to and from school or during break times.

While it is a fair enough expectation for parents to count on teachers to keep their children safe while at school, parents and teachers need to take responsibility for educating children how to protect themselves from this violence and bullying.

The other problem that exists here is teachers will effectively deal with the situation once it has happened, but not enough focus is put on pre-empting violent behaviour. Parents and teachers need to take a more proactive approach to stop these situations before they have a chance to become violent. They teach children proper self defence skills.

Self defence education should not be about teaching pupils to fight back though. Proper self defence training deals with the psychological aspects of aggressive and violent behaviour. Teaching children basic self defence skills will empower them to avoid violent behaviour effectively.

Rule #2: Be physically trained (participating in a self defense class/>the act, process, of imparting knowledge and skill): Physical training gives you the tools to maintain your personal security and is the single best way to be prepared.

Why should you train in self defense?

· Preparation: With any crime, the best way to avoid it is to be prepared. Self defense training is defense preparation. Good self defense training can prepare you to deal with an assault, robbery, attempted rape, not to mention the everlasting emotional effects of an attack.

· Insurance: You purchase house, auto, fire, and even life insurance to protect you and your family. What do you do to insure you personal safety? Self defense training is the insurance you need for your personal security against being a victim of crime.

· Crime: Generation after generation, laws have been passed and law enforcement has increased in numbers and still hasn’t been able to eliminate crime. Crime is here to stay; you can’t change that; however you can reduce the risks of being a victim.

· Statistics: University studies show women who don’t fight back more often lose in an assault. In fact 73% of all women 12 years old and up will become victims, with a third being robbed, assaulted, or raped. Unfortunately just being born a woman puts you at risk for certain crimes.

· Self Reliance: In today’s world people often look the other way rather than getting involved; you can’t rely on someone coming to your rescue.

· Knowledge: Learn what to look for, know how to avoid those threatening situations, and take steps to learn best possible methods to defend yourself is key to survival and escape from your enemy. That knowledge can be the difference between life and death.

· Physical Fitness: Training improves your balance, strength, stamina, flexibility, and posture, increasing your overall health.

· Discipline: By learning self discipline, you improve self control and ability to perform under pressure.
