Self defense lessons for children are a great way to keep them in good shape, and it’s a fun way to teach them discipline and control. and sometimes, it can be even more important than that.

A ten year old girl from Sydney, Australia was on her way home when two men stepped out of a van and tried to start a conversation with her. They attempted to grab her, but she managed to bite, kick, and punch her way free, and was able to run all the way back home. And while she was lucky enough to get away, other children aren’t as lucky.

Parents in the city have been warned about the risk, and it’s even been suggested that parents take their children to learn self defense. There’s even a not-for-profit organization in the country that offers safety programs through schools for students.
