Have you have really looked at the martial arts classes that you child is taking with an impartial and realistic eye? Outside of the health, fun and socialization benefits that accrue to your little one, are they really learning reality-based self defense should a malevolent, ill-willed evil person try to abduct or take them away?
In this article, I want to discuss the type of approach to child self protection that is rarely if ever adopted in your typical traditional martial arts studio.
The 7 Principles of Reality-Based Child Self Defense Against The Child Predator
Principle #1 - Situational Awareness - This is not only the first principle of self defense and self protection for children, but it is also the first principle of self defense and self protection for adults as well. You must teach your child how to be aware of strangers who approach them, for example, in their school yard when an adult is not watching - to not to talk to strangers and teach them to immediately look for and move toward a responsible adult should they be approached by someone suspicious, that is, someone unknown.
Principle #2 - Biting - Teach your child what they already know instinctively. Teach them to bite: the hand, the face or the arm of anyone who forcefully tries to grab them.
Principle #3 - Shin Kicking - Teach you child to quickly and violently bite and shin kick to loosen the grip of a would-be predator.
Principle #4 - Head Butting - Depending on how your child is grabbed and picked up, such as from behind, show them how to head butt by ramming the back of the head backwards on to the nose bridge of the assailant.
Principle #5 - Shouting "No! No!" - Teach your child to shout the word "No! No!" as they shout it loud enough for someone to hear as they are executing their self defense, self escape moves. (This verbal maneuver also tends to unnerve and distract the would-be assailant.)
Principle #6 - Escaping And Running - Look, you are not teaching your child to stand up and go toe-to-toe with an adult. The self defense and self protection mindset of the child is to counter-attack the assailant, suddenly and by surprise for one and only purpose which is to cause sharp, sudden and unexpected pain so that the assailant will release their grip and let go enough for your child to get away. Once they let up or let go, the primary goal of your child is to escape and run like hell as he or she shouts "Help! Help! Someone help me!"
Principle #7 - Practice With Your Child Periodically Reality-Based Scenarios - Role play with your child the various attack and counter attack moves outside on the streets in the same environment where the child would encounter it. This will give him or her a better acclimation to memory to responding with the right move if and when, God forbid, should anything like this were to happen.
