Martial Arts Against Bullying (MAAB)

Building confidence to stop bullying before it starts

When children believe in themselves, bullies lose their power. Our evidence-based program combines martial arts principles with practical life skills to create confident, empathetic young leaders who refuse to be victims—and refuse to victimize others.
