Every month in the United States, three million children miss school due to fear of bullies. In the Bullyproof program, our goal is to instill your child with unshakable confidence so they can overcome bullies without violence. Due to the non-violent nature of the techniques, CNN, ABC, NBC, and Oprah have featured the Bullyproof program as one of the few effective counter-measures to bullying for children between the ages of 4 and 12.
We will teach your child to use verbal assertiveness to deter bullies and several non-violent self-defense techniques to stay safe if physically assaulted. Importantly, we don’t teach how to punch or kick, since this often does more harm than good. Instead, we use leverage-based control holds to neutralize threats without violence. Numerous school districts have embraced the defensive nature of the Bullyproof techniques as a reasonable, nonviolent response to bullying and some even host Bullyproof classes on campus! The bottom line is: we will prepare your child to defend themselves against bullies without turning them into one.
If you’re interested in instilling your child with unshakable confidence while reinforcing positive values and good character, the Bullyproof program is for you! Even if your child has previously tried Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and had a negative experience, we can assure you that they will absolutely love the Bullyproof program!
Critical Confidence
Studies suggest that bullying may be the leading cause of low self-esteem in children, and according to some surveys, less than 15% of kids actually report acts of bullying. A child’s inability to stand up to a bully is rooted in profound fear for their personal safety. Ironically, the victims know that they must confront the bully and would like nothing more than to stand up to them. But, they simply can't follow through for fear of the physical harm that backs the bully's every action. And, therein lies the challenge – how do you instill in a victim of bullying the confidence to face the tormentor, look them in the eye, and back them down? The answer is simple – teach the victims to defend themselves against physical attack, and the rest will follow.
Fighting Fire with Water
Most martial arts programs rely on striking the attacker with violent punches, kicks, knees, and elbows, but in the Bullyproof program we take a different approach. All the techniques are purely defensive and utilize no strikes. Furthermore, we teach children how to defuse confrontations with words and never to initiate physical aggression. If attacked, we offer techniques to non-violently neutralize the threat and gain control until help arrives.
In the Bullyproof program, we teach the children how to fight fire with water so that you never have to worry about your child becoming a bully under our guidance.
The Bullyproof program prepares your child using a three-pronged approach:
The Rules of Engagement
Teaching a child jiu-jitsu without teaching them when to use it, is akin to giving someone a gun without teaching them how to use it. Bullyproof is the only kid’s jiu-jitsu program that actually teaches children precisely when they can, and cannot, use the techniques they are learning. The five "Rules of Engagement" are regularly rehearsed in class so that children will never abuse their power and, equally important, they will not hesitate to take a stand when abused by bullies.
Rule 1: Avoid the fight at all costs.
Rule 2: If physically attacked, defend yourself.
Rule 3: If verbally attacked, follow the Three T-steps (talk, tell, time).
Rule 4: Never punch or kick the bully, establish control and negotiate.
Rule 5: When applying submissions use minimal force and negotiate.
Although we discuss the Rules of Engagement in Bullyproof classes, we strongly encourage you to discuss the Rules at home to assure your child that they have your support in the event that they need to take a stand against bullying.
Verbal Jiu-Jitsu Training
One of the most pervasive and damaging forms of bullying is verbal harassment. Bullyproof is the only kids' jiu-jitsu program that makes Verbal Assertiveness Training, or as we like to call it "Verbal Jiu-Jitsu," part of its regular curriculum. We've devised a series of role-playing exercises to teach kids how to identify and manage the common threats associated with verbal harassment and relational bullying. Bullyproof students learn how to differentiate between "bullying" and "joking," and not only are kids taught how to speak assertively when necessary, but they also learn how to use direct eye contact and confident posture to deter bullies from targeting them.
Perfect Programs for Every Age
Nearly all jiu-jitsu schools have all of their youth students bunched into one class, and a few schools have classes separated by age group. The Bullyproof program is one of the only youth jiu-jitsu programs that separates kids by age AND experience level, so that every child gets the perfect balance of fun and challenge in their weekly classes. All kids begin in super-playful entry level programs for their age group, and as soon as a child reaches a certain level of maturity, they are promoted to the next training program.
Little Ninjas (4-6 Years Old)
The Little Ninjas program is the perfect introduction to jiu-jitsu for preschoolers, ages 4-5. In these playful classes, parents join us on the mat as we guide the little ones through fun games designed to help them develop "comfort with closeness." Once they learn the basic techniques and build their confidence in Little Ninjas they'll be ready to transition into Kid's (ages 7-12) classes.
Jr. Grapplers (7-12 Years Old)
In the Jr. Grapplers program, we focus on 33 non-violent self-defense techniques that teach children to “neutralize and negotiate” with the bullies. Verbal assertiveness strategies are a major portion of this curriculum. A child needs absolutely no experience to start, and we guarantee a noticeable increase in your child’s confidence within a few weeks!
The Bullyproof rules of engagement that this place teaches saved my son from 45 days of BTC (Behavior Detention Center) and saved my family hundreds of dollars in missed work and transportation needs, not to mention a terrible mark on his record!
After being bullied for two weeks straight, and telling multiple adults, his last resort was to defend his self and handle the situation with the skills he had learned from Grandmaster Williams!
Needless to say his bully learned a tough lesson that day as did my son‼️
Ask/tell the bully to stop
Tell a teacher/adult about your problem
Use your confidence and skills that are taught at DWCMAP to defend yourself as a last resort!
Thank you Grandmaster Williams!
Hands down the best decision I've ever made getting my family in DWCMAP!
Christian based, family oriented, goal driven.
Love this place!

DWCMAP is amazing. The amount of attention to detail that Mr. Williams gives these students is incredible. Whether it’s himself or another helping instructor every child in my son’s class has the attention they need. They make sure form is correct as well as discipline, they are graded on skill not age or time. They genuinely care about their students, and want to make sure they are prepared for life. They have fantastic rates and a packed schedule. DWCMAP is the real deal. Thank you to the Williams family for having my family be apart of yours. You are all amazing and I am proud to be here with my child, I know he will go far in life and this program has helped him reach his potential

AMAZING!!! I cannot express enough Gratitude or Respect for Mr. Williams, his family and his Combat Martial Arts Program! My son has been in the program for 3 months now and the changes within him are Remarkable! As a hyperactive kiddo he needs some help with focus and self discipline. Mr. Williams provides that, but so much more. Students don't just learn Martial Arts, (from an Amazing Grand Master with credentials out the wazoo) but a new way of life with morals, respect, discipline, integrity, awareness (the list could go on). A true Leader in every sense of the word!!

For anyone looking to try Taekwondo, I can't recommend this academy enough.

I'm excited for my kiddos to continue their journey with such dedicated and talented group of people.
If you're considering Taekwondo, don't hesitate to give this academy a try. You won't be disappointed! Keep up the fantastic work!

We love Danny Williams Combat Martial Arts Program.

She loves Mrs. Glenda, Abby and Jillian. Love how positive, encouraging and structured they are. So wonderful with young children, would highly recommend them.
