Self-Defense program providing citizens with the necessary

We also conduct workshops for children who are victims of “Bullying.” We provide education, and training for parents and teachers in the school system to maintain an atmosphere of intolerance for this destructive behavior, and recognize the aggressors and the warning signs of behavior changes in bullying victims. We also provide support to the victims of Domestic and Child Abuse, assisting them in restoring their dignity and self-respect.

techniques. Our community based proactive Self-Defense &

Personal Safety program is designed to keep you and your

family safe. This effective safety program deals directly with

confrontation issues, communication and avoidance

techniques, and the utilization of defensive survival skills. Our

program is practical and reality based. The subject matter is

taught with a “hands on” approach and covers topics such as:

(1) learning about the psychology of fear and how to overcome

it; (2) developing skills to manage and escape from single and

multiple attackers; (3) learning personal and family safety

tips; (4) learning awareness skills such as visual, auditory, and

body language; (5) as a last resort, learn and apply practical

Self-Protection techniques you can use at home, on the street,

and in the workplace.

FUMA ANTI-BULLYING PROGRAM

Bullying is the repeated, deliberate, and “thug-like” practice of:

* Harassment * Intimidation * Mistreatment * Torment *

Cruelty * and other hurtful acts of oppression inflicted upon

another person, or one group over another for pleasure.”

The person who faces the aggressive acts of a Bully, is known

as the “TARGET” or victim.

The impact of Bullying can have long term effects and

causes serious injuries. In some cases, the results of bullying

has had deadly implications to both the target and the bully.

There are many reasons why kids bully. The most widely

accepted one is “Social Conditioning.” Social Conditioning

is when a child learns to behave by watching the behaviors

around them.

Bullying acts usually take place in school hallways, locker

rooms, bathrooms, playgrounds, churches, healthcare

facilities, at home, and in the workplace. Adopted and Step

children are common targets of abuse.

There are different types of Bullying: Cyber, Verbal, Physical,

Emotional, Extortion, and in many cases Sexual Assault and Rape.
