Learning martial arts is a physical endeavor, involving all muscle groups to help develop a student’s physical fitness. But our emphasis goes far beyond just learning physical moves and martial arts techniques. At DWCMAP, we use martial arts as a mechanism to develop positive character and life-improvement skills in our students.

- Increased Awareness: We teach your child to know the difference between “joking” and “bullying” so they know when and how to act in each situation.
- Unshakeable Confidence: A confident child is a Bullyproof child. Bullies seek “easy targets” – those who will not stand up to their abuse. We arm your child with the tools they need to overcome physical, verbal, and psychological harassment.

One of the most pervasive and damaging forms of bullying is verbal harassment. Our Bullyproof program is makes “Verbal boundries,” part of it’s regular curriculum.
We’ve devised a series of role-playing exercises to teach kids how to identify and manage the common scenarios associated with verbal harassment and bullying.
Our Bullyproof students are 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.

All the self-defense techniques are presented in the form of “real life situations” so that kids are highly excited about learning them.
When a child makes a mistake, we don’t focus on the error. Instead, we emphasize what a child did correctly. Through positive reinforcement, we help the kids reach their full potential without jeopardizing their love for the art.
