How important is self-defence for students?
As we are well aware of the threats that students face almost every day of their lives, it is all the more important to talk about the importance of self-defence. Many schools today have a well-planned curriculum on self-defence which is a sense of relief both to parents and for the school management. The sad truth of today’s education is that we take precautions only when the harm occurs. Many schools have taken up self-defence as an important learning to their students by having regular karate classes, yoga sessions, effective physical education classes, regular sports events.
Why self-defence?
Self-defence does not just help the students from dangers and accidents but also has other benefits like the following.
* one of the obvious reasons we are aware of is that it saves students from falling prey to kidnap, trafficking etc. learning karate, taekwondo or any kind of self-defence art will help students to protect themselves from dangers and stay safe.
* Students stay fit and healthy with regular motor activities. Indulging in good physical activities will result in good health of the students. It will decrease the possibilities of falling ill frequently
* Involving themselves in some kind of physical activities develops confidence and healthy spirit of competition among students.
* The students learning about self-defence will also be in position to spread awareness to the others about the importance of the same.
* It makes them goal oriented and gives a direction to achieve their goals in life.
There was this interesting article that I came across and I think that one of the techniques that the parents can use to keep their children safe is ‘CODE WORD’ technique. it’s about how a code word saved the life of a child. This simple technique can be adopted by all parents to keep the children safe. Find the link below.
