Kids Program Detail: Every month, three million children miss school because they fear bullies. Maryland’s zero tolerance policy, which prohibits students from defending themselves in school, has put our children and us parents in a very difficult position. Not only are kids afraid of bullies, getting beaten up or harrassed, but they are also afraid of the consequences of standing up for themselves. They are stuck between bullies and the system. At Kogen Dojo, an affiliate of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Maryland, we teach our young students to first attempt to verbally de-escalate a violent situation, giving them specific and direct phrases for dealing with bullies. If verbal de-escalation is not successful, our kids are taught to then tell an adult about the bullying behavior. The self defense skills we teach them are the last resort when all non-violent have been tried and have been unsuccessful. The ability to not have to fight is true power and our main goal is to empower the children that we teach. Patience, Tolerance, and Discipline are definining characteristics of a good Martial Artist. We teach our children that a real Martial Artist is Respecful and Humble, never someone who looks for fights or picks on others. Sometimes, sadly, the fight picks you and you are left with no option besides Self Defense. What sets Kogen Dojo apart as a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Maryland affiliate is that we teach these values to our kids as well as the skills necessary to defend themselves when absolutely necessary. We are the only Martial Art School in Anne Arundel County that focuses on all aspects of Self Defense, from fight avoidance, to conflict de-escalation, and finally how to neutralize an attacker as needed.
