Self Defense Classes & Social Skills Development In a Safe Environment with Oversight
MAKES YOUR KIDS A HARDER TARGET!
There are specific traits all levels of offender’s look for in kids. So the combination of self defense concepts and social coaching for kids can also play a crucial role in recognizing non-verbal cues that will make your kids safer. By teaching them the skills to understand and respond appropriately to different social situations, they will be better prepared to identify potential danger before it occurs.
Through age relevant social coaching activities such as role-playing, active listening, and emotional regulation, the evidence based approach to safety at Shaan Saar Krav Maga Orlando can dramatically improve the quality of life for child from adolescents through adulthood!
Our classes equip your children with the tools to recognize potential danger and create a safe space to talk through difficult situations. Through social coaching, children are able to develop healthier relationships and better navigate stressful or challenging circumstances. As a result, they will be less likely to face violence in their everyday lives.
By teaching children how to improve their social skill, recognize social cues, and respond appropriately, we can reduce the risk of violence and physical bullying. With proper guidance and support, your child can become more aware of their environment, a better self advocate, and make smart decisions.

LEARNING TO IDENTIFY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS & GROOMERS
According to statistics from the Department of Justice, 90% of youth victims in cases of sexual abuse or assault know their offender.
This highlights the importance of teaching children and young adults about consent and boundaries, establishing healthy boundaries, and learning to self advocate. It also emphasizes the need for increased awareness among professionals who work with youth to assist children in learning consequential life skills to keep them safe.
It is crucial to educate children on grooming behavior so that they can identify it early on. This involves education in the most common tactics used by predators. Shaan Saar Krav Maga empowers children with self advocacy skills and practical safety concepts to last a lifetime.

MASTERING PHYSICAL SELF DEFENSE CONCEPTS MINDFUL OF BIOMECHANICS & HUMAN STRESS RESPONSE
One of the most difficult things to share with parent’s in regard to violence prevention is that self defense techniques taught in martial arts dojos are unlikely to protect your child from an offender who is larger, stronger, or armed.
Teaching children to identify conflict and self advocate, along with concepts that will help interrupt the timeline of violence can make a dramatic impact on their safety. As board certified educators who specializing in violence prevention we take these concepts seriously and include them in our curriculum.
We provide our students with the ability to advocate for themselves with peers, adults, administration, and law enforcement as well as physically protect themselves with concepts mindful of size, stature, and biomechanics.
Teens & Kids Self Defense Classes Focus On Violence Prevention, Evidence Based Self Defense Concepts, and Social coaching for a lifetime of wellness!

Our educators have worked with children from all walks of life and neurodiversities. The small group formats ensure ideal class management and one-on-one time. We require all students be able to follow single direction instructions and have the ability to use restroom facilities without educator assistance. For non-verbal students we are able to provide private instruction.
That said, we do require an effort on the part of your young person to participate, for a student who will not engage or communicate we will not be the right fit.

All students are divided by age and developmental levels to ensure the content is relevant and age appropriate. While we recognize that it can be more convenient for families and students of all ages to learn together, this dynamic does not effectively work within developmental stages of young people and therefore will not create an optimal learning environment.
Age groups are 5-7, 8-12 and 13-17. Students who are age 18+ are suggested to enroll in adult classes. Our social emotional learning program does not allow for parents to be enrolled in classes or a Mommy and Me style.
For those parents who prefer to take self defense classes with their child in order to develop family safety strategies please contact us for information on private education.
