Self-defense can play a very important role in the development of the child, since every day they are exposed to physical abuse or pressure at school or elsewhere. Many times their way of avoiding this type of situation is to shut up what causes them to be withdrawn and even manifest not wanting to go to school or lack of motivation. And all this, it is significant to attack it in time, because it creates internal conflicts in our children, especially in their behavior.

Many times as protective parents, we want to be with our children in all their facets of emotional development and we even want to respond to them in situations like these, preventing them from facing these terrible circumstances.

As a Martial Art Master, I think that the best personal defense is to avoid any type of fight or aggression. However, when it comes to aggression at the child level; As these are so defenseless and do not have certain malice, it is essential that children learn to defend themselves from any situation that may arise, be it physical or verbal aggression.

Personal defense is a fundamental part of the development of boys since with the different techniques that are taught in martial art, they can succeed in any attack, generating security and confidence in themselves to face threats that may arise.

There are many self-defense courses that can be given to the infant, but generally, they are done in a few hours and what they learn is very basic techniques, where favorable results are often not achieved. However, when the child practices Martial Art as part of his routine, he will acquire a series of skills that will be integrated naturally into his life.

But this does not mean that the boy becomes violent, quite the opposite happens, because martial art and self-defense do not incite violence, they only offer you the necessary resources to get out of a specific situation, helping them to protect their lives.

Currently, the cases of physical aggression in schools are more frequent. For this reason, it is essential that the infant learns to defend himself and, above all, that he has the security in himself, to get out of that hostile environment.

Feeling sure of oneself allows us to have a different attitude in daily life and even if we see it as insignificant, it has a positive effect and usually makes a difference when faced with a threat. For example: If a child passes a group of boys with his head down and his shoulders hunched, even if he is unconscious; your body is talking and transmits insecurity to those present, causing them to probably say something or attack you to annoy you. On the other hand, what would happen if instead of showing that attitude, the boy passes through that group with an upright, calm posture and walking with great confidence. Here the landscape changes and they may not notice that boy.

Now you may wonder, why? What does one thing have to do with the other? And the answer is very simple, because it denotes good self-esteem, that you trust your abilities and that you feel sure of yourself. All of this is accomplished by learning self-defense.

In the classes we teach on self-defense, they are taught the different types of grips and how to get rid of them. In addition, to place them common scenarios of daily life, so that they learn to find solutions to neutralize the enemy or get out of any situation.

I hope this publication is helpful in raising awareness among parents about the importance of our children learning self-defense.
