Non-Violent Self-Defense:

This approach aligns with the goal of resolving conflicts peacefully, teaching children how to control and manage physical confrontations responsibly.
This is especially important in todays world, where children need to learn how to de-escalate situations.

Gracie Bullyproof goes beyond teaching physical techniques; it also emphasizes the importance of responsible application.
Children learn when and how to use their self-defense skills, promoting discipline and respect.
