FAST Defence Course For Kids (6 to 12)

I've felt for a long time that there are 2 main areas missing from a lot (but not all) of martial arts training.  One is realistic interprutations of the kata and movements and the other is dealing with the emotional response to the pre-fight build up and/or freezing when attacked instead of fighting back.

 

My blog deals with the interputations (bunkai) side of things.

 

As for the pre-fight tension, how to be assertive to avoid being attacked and not freezing when attacked, FAST Defence is a good option.

 

Below from their website are details of a course in the Bath, England that is for kids:
