A Short Story From Class
One afternoon, Sara was upset. A bully in her class called her names. She felt alone. Sara joined our anti-bullying program. In class she practiced safe steps and calm words. Soon she used a confident voice at school. Sara told her teacher about the bully, and she used the buddy system. The bully stopped.
After that, Sara smiled more. She held her head up high. She said, “I feel strong and calm.”

How the Buddy System Works
In our anti-bullying program, every student pairs up with a buddy. The buddy helps during drills, watches for safety, and shares tips. Working with a buddy builds trust. If someone feels unsure, the buddy is right there. Over time, pairs become friends. The system makes classes fun and safe.
Learning to De-escalate
A big part of our anti-bullying program is calm talk. Students learn to use kind but firm words. They practice steps like:
- Take a deep breath
- Use a low, strong voice
- Keep hands open
- Step back to give space
- Ask for help if the bully keeps going
These steps help stop tension before it gets worse.
Progress and Belt Levels
Your child moves through belt levels as they learn new moves. Each stripe and belt show growth in skill and focus. Kids begin with white belts. They earn new belts by showing respect, effort, and control. This growth helps build drive and pride.
Role of Grand Master Chris Yaeger
Grand Master Chris Yaeger teaches respect and real skill in every class. He is endorsed by the Pasadena Police Department and SWAT Team. His lessons focus on real safety, not just kicks and punches. Students learn to think, speak up, and stand tall.
Extra Events and Tournaments
