At Takeodwn MMA we believe that Martial Arts is about more than teaching kids how to punch, kick, and defend themselves. It is about character, social, and physical development through engaging in activities and games, and learning new skills! As martial arts teachers, we are community partners and believe that we have the responsibility to serve the community! Therefore Takedown MMA conducts monthly community seminars to educate and protect the kids in the community! Some seminars that we host include Anti Bullying, Healthy Eating and Living, Success For Life, Martial Arts for better grades, and etc.
BULLYING! That dreaded word that we all hate and fear so much! The term that kids fear/dread and parents hope they never have to deal with!
Bullying has become an epidemic among children in Canada. The bullying is defined as hurtful, discriminatory, or mean behavior towards someone else. Bullying not only occurs in school settings, but also in social settings, sports settings, and on the internet. One in five Canadian youth report being bullied regularly and approximately 1 in 3 people experience or confront bullying in some form at one time of their life. The effects are often long lasting and in some cases devastating. Bullying may take several different forms including physical, verbal, relational and cyber. Each of these types may have devastating physical, emotional, and/or psychological effects on its victims.
Takedown MMA is serious about helping our community, and doing our part to control/ contain bullying. Every 3 months Takedown MMA will be hosting an ANTIBULLYING SEMINAR FREE to all students, children, and parents in the community.
