During this class students will learn the most important thing I have learned in my 15 years of training in kung fu. Contrary to popular belief, it is not some special movement, it is learning to be aware of my surroundings. To do this, I will introduce a game that will help to focus that awareness. Following this we will interactively discuss different scenarios involving stranger interaction. We will discuss the dos and don't s involved when dealing with people they do not know. There will be a very short video clip to re-enforce what they learn. At the end of the class, we will do an activity that will involve a great deal of noise. After-all, the last thing a kidnapper wants is to draw attention to themselves! In this activity I will be teaching them to yell with intention. In other words, to not just yell to make a noise, but to let others know what is going on, and to draw as much attention to themselves as possible. During this class, I encourage as much student participation as possible. I encourage them to give me feedback, and discuss how they might handle different scenarios. Class length is approximate and may vary depending on student participation.
Learning Goals
Students will learn a game that will help them to become more aware of their surroundings. They will learn the proper way to respond when someone they don't know attempts to interact with them. They will also learn how to draw as much attention to themselves as possible, if by chance a stranger does manage to get a hold of them.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
We will be discussing techniques to avoid being hurt or kidnapped by a stranger. I would encourage the parent or guardian to assist with practicing how to yell with intention. Unfortunately, in crises situations, all people, not just children tend to panic and freeze up. The more a child practices this, the more natural it will become, and the more likely they are to actually do it when necessary. My goal is to keep your child as safe as possible, by teaching them some skills to be more aware around strangers.
