It’s boxing month and this is also my sneaky way to introduce public speaking/ confidence into the curriculum. I have a unique way of incorporating life skills as disguised repetition. How is a kid going to use punches for self-defense if they don’t have a high level of confidence in themselves?

In January, I’m hosting the most incredible emotional intelligence workshop for kids USING self defense moves. The emotional lessons are the kale we blend up and secretly put in the pizza sauce, disguised as “karate class!”

Our mission is to reduce drug abuse and violence in our community by using self-defense classes that apply social and emotional learnings in unique ways.
