Parents of Ripon & the surrounding areas!
This is a long post but please read - if you want your children to be safe and confident.
Encourage your children to learn how to fight!
Now, this statement might not be often heard these days, but the fact is the world is a strange place right now, and if your child knows how to defend themselves, it is going to give them confidence in real life situations.
We are running, for the first time, children’s MMA & BJJ classes, simultaneously, at Orbit.
If you're unsure what MMA is - it is as real life fighting you will ever see in a sport setting.
Let me tell you a quick story - a 5 year old boy who had been training with us for just 2 months. His Mum was approached by another parent in the playground, and thanked her - because this boy had stood up to two boys who were bullying her daughter. These boys had been bullying this girl for sometime, but after just after two months of learning how to strangle people (in a controlled and respectful environment) in real life this 5 year old baby stood up to them and said 'I've been learning to choke people out by my coach Pete and if you carry on being nasty to her I’m going to show you'. Those boys never said another word to that girl.
Teaching kids to fight doesn’t mean they will - parents report the very opposite at home, they won’t become violent! They become strong, confident, disciplined. And mark my words, if they stick at it NO ONE will ever push them or their friends around again.
