Report Violation

Are you sure you want to report the following content as a violation?

Ideally, I want to teach my boys to defend themselves and others around them when someone is unnecessarily attacking them (i.e., my kid didn't start it). I want them to intervene if someone is being bullied. If that meant they had to take self-defense classes, then I'd let them. I think karate classes are also beneficial to teach rowdy boys discipline and self-control, and therefore, will probably be a necessity in my household with my guys! I think the way to approach the defending themselves idea is to understand what many specially trained men and women in the armed forces and police academies are taught. You are to intervene and defend ONLY to neutralize, then stabilize the situation. (for a kid, that means neutralzie THEN walk away.)
