Kanjizai's Youth Jiu-Jitsu in Baltimore teaches kids how to handle bullies with the least amount of violence possible. Students will be equipped with the tools to handle verbal bullying with "verbal self-defense," avoiding physical confrontation wherever possible. When bullies get physical, kids will have the skills and confidence necessary to defend themselves, neutralizing their attacker's power with clinches, takedowns, and ground control techniques. While controlling their bully, students can negotiate with them safely, avoiding strikes and violence at all costs. Our students are also equipped with the wrist escapes, grip breaks, and striking techniques necessary to fend off and escape a significantly larger bully or strange adult when they find themselves in a true worst-case scenario.
