The C.L.A.S.S. Self-Defense program a self-defense P.E. curriculum that works, and is age appropriate for grades 3-8. A teacher's lesson plan manual and video are available for teachers to use immediately within their current P.E. curriculums. The program teaches children how to escape abductors and attackers, conflict resolution, and raising self-confidence. Here's the site.

I agree with Janet.In the P.E. curriculum, it is imperative that children learn self defense. I believe that it is as important as learning the skills to play basketball or kickball. Self defense is a way for children to prevent themselves from predators and or bullies who try to attack. Self defense also allows students to build up their self esteem, since they know that they are competent to protect themselves when in need. Self defense promotes a non violent atmosphere and enforces children to work out their problems without using their fists or other acts of violence. |
