FOR THE KIDS TIP NUMBER 1

A PASSWORD

Give your kids a password and have them understand that if anyone else other than you picks them up from school, that person must give the password, or else they are not to leave with them.

A side note about this is that most schools today require all visitors to check in at the main office and generally the parents will inform the school that someone else will be picking them up. As a prior substitute school teacher, I also had to sign in and out when reporting for school assignments.

A password is still a good idea outside of school.

A lot of people learn the martial arts for self defense, but I have to admit, I’m not one hundred percent on board with this being the main reason. While it is true that the techniques of martial arts are very well adapted for self defense, I would hope most would study and practice it for the love of the art, physical fitness, and self improvement. However, I suppose that if you choose to study and practice a martial art, and your reason for doing so is self defense, then I guess that’s okay, at least you are learning for a reason.

MY TRAINING I lived in Japan for two years where I was trained by a tenth degree black belt grandmaster in Shotokan Karate, an orthodox Japanese style created in Okinawa, earning a brown belt. After returning to the United States, I trained for three more years by an eighth degree black belt grandmaster from Korea in Tae Kwon Do and Hap Ki Do, earning a black belt. The self defense techniques in this program are based on my five years of formal martial arts training.   I borrowed techniques from my Shotokan Karate training and my Hap Ki Do training, in designing this self defense program.
