What is a bully? And how do you handle a situation when you’re being bullied? All these questions and more were addressed at Public School 220, located in Rego Park, Queens. The Bully Proof Seminar was a two day event that was hosted by our very own Sensei Mike Stine and Joshu Mike Sinaniev, along with Claudia and George acting out scenes for kids from kindergarten to grade 5.
Tiger Schulmann’s Rego Park staff was greeted by the friendly staff at P.S. 220. The Bully Proof seminar shows kids what a bully is and who is a victim of bullying. The seminar also teaches kids of all ages how to be assertive when confronted by a bully. We teach kids to stand up for themselves at an early stage of bullying so that way they don’t end up getting into fights if bullying persists.

The Seminar was a success and featured a lot of interaction with the audience. We showed them the right and wrong way of handling certain situations. It is a great time to teach children at this age how to build confidence and stand up for themselves.

That’s why, at Tiger Schulmann’s MMA, we teach kids how to defend themselves and at the same time, we’re building confidence. A child who knows how to defend themselves and has the courage to stand up for themselves walks around more confident and is less likely to get into fights, since they don’t let bullies reach the physical level.
