Concept of Warriors of Peace
The "Warriors of Peace" Program was designed to help children find peaceful
solutions to violent confrontations in the school setting. Children feel lost, helpless and
alone when confronted by bullies. The program will help build communication between
victims, bullies, teachers and parents. While learning self defense, students are taught
how to explore their options in different situations and how to "save face" when
choosing not to fight. The program teaches Judo and Jujitsu in a fun and safe
atmosphere.
Bullies benefit, too—and not because they learn to fight better. A 2001 study published
in Adolescence found that violent behavior decreased among middle school students
when they were taking martial arts classes, while their confidence levels rose. "Bullies
act the way they do because they have low self-esteem, poor social skills, or little
respect for themselves or others," Silverman says. The focus on respect and courtesy
within martial arts sends the message that you don't have to be mean to earn a
person's respect.
