Today in the Tiny Tigers class we worked on a super basic self defense technique that kids should have in their arsenal. What do you think? Some kind of kick or punch or joint lock that any kid could use to break the hold of a bigger attacker? No, even simpler.
This technique is really easy and any kid can do it. When an abductor grabs a child by the wrist, the child just plays dead! They yell, "Stranger! Stranger! Stranger!" This causes a scene and while the kid is being dragged along or someone is struggling to pick the dead weight up, it could buy enough time for a someone to see that something is wrong with the situation.
This being said, we would hope that there are people in the world that would report such a sight. 2,185 children are abducted each day according to a study by missingkids.com. PAA believes that it could be avoided completely or that number seriously reduced if children where taught basic awareness and self-defense drills.
PAA Elkton is dedicated to teaching self-defense and inspirational seminars for children in our area. Our international network of instructors work together to create the best curriculum in the world to make our community a safer place. We believe that when children remove fear from their lives, it allows them to become focused in accomplishing their goals.
