In an April 12^th, 2007 press release, researchers at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital and Stanford University School of Medicine said 9 out of 10 elementary students have been bullied by their peers. “We know that both bullies and victims tend to suffer higher levels of depression and other mental health problems throughout their lives” said child psychiatrist Tom Tarshis, MD lead  author of the study. “It was a little distressing how prevalent the problem is even in the middle to upper middle class schools we surveyed.

”DontBullyMyKids.Com does not promote responding to violence with violence."

Instead, we deliver empowerment, knowledge, and practical experience for your child to use, all of which can diffuse an encounter with a bully. We not only build your child’s body, we build your child’s mind. In turn, this builds self-esteem so your children have the confidence to act swiftly and appropriately, setting the tone for success that lasts a lifetime. Developing a combination of strength, fitness, defensive tactics, and practical streetwise self defense—taught by trainers experienced with actual street encounters (rather than a theoretical approach)—is your child’s best bet for the successful outcome when dealing with a bully. This is exactly what we do!

Joe Grasso: Program Director

As a young child, I experienced first hand the shame and embarrassment of being bullied. As I grew up, I combined training in various martial arts and contact fighting while doing serious weight lifting and fitness training. This confidence enabled me to defuse bullying encounters without ever resorting to violence. As a police officer and gang-detective, I saw countless children lose confidence and self-esteem as a result of intimidation and threats of violence. As a personal trainer, I see that same confidence and self-esteem grow as an individual becomes empowered with gains in strength, endurance, speed, and self-image. DontBullyMyKids.Com has been designed with my first hand experience in overcoming bullying.  This unique program has been created to combat this worldwide problem head-on with proven techniques that really work!
