Bullying is a serious issue that affects millions of students worldwide

Bullying is not just physical; it can also be verbal, emotional, and online, creating a lasting negative impact on students' lives. Schools are on the front lines, but they can’t fight this battle alone. In just the US alone, 1 in 5 students report being bullied at school with 41% of those students believing that it will happen again. Students who are bullied are at a higher risk for mental health problems, poor academic performance, and lower self-esteem.

The Solution: Empowerment Through Jiu Jitsu

What is Jiu Jitsu? A non-violent solution to de-escalate conflict.

Jiu Jitsu is a martial art focused on leverage, technique, and control rather than brute strength. It teaches practitioners how to defend themselves by using their opponent's movements and energy to neutralize threats, making it an ideal form of self-defense for people of all ages and all sizes.

In situations like bullying, where physical or verbal aggression may occur, Jiu Jitsu empowers individuals to stay calm, protect themselves, and de-escalate conflicts without relying on violence. Its non-violent approach, combined with the ability to safely control a situation, makes Jiu Jitsu a powerful tool for preventing and handling bullying.

The AOJ Anti-Bullying program goes beyond traditional self-defense

Our program equips students to handle every possible situation by preparing them with the skills and mindset needed to navigate challenges confidently. Beyond physical self-defense, we focus on instilling core values like discipline, respect, and self-confidence, which are essential in preventing and addressing bullying.

By proactively teaching these values, we help limit bullying behavior, empowering students to stand up for themselves while fostering a respectful, positive environment. Our goal is to not only prepare students to respond to bullying but to create a culture where bullying is less likely to occur in the first place.

Six Key Components of Anti-Bullying Program

Self-Defense

Jiu Jitsu is a non-striking martial art, making it ideal for de-escalating situations without harm. Students learn how to defend themselves through leverage and technique, empowering them without promoting violence.

Confidence Building

Jiu Jitsu helps students build self-confidence, which is often the best defense against bullying. Confident kids are less likely to be targeted by bullies and more likely to stand up for themselves and others.

Discipline and Respect

Jiu Jitsu instills important core values like discipline, focus, and mutual respect; skills that translate into better behavior in the classroom and beyond.
