Bully Proof

Bully Proof

I speak with experience when it comes to the subject of bullying. I wasn't always the man I am today. I battled with being "Husky" most of my life. Not only that but my teeth were not perfect and I had a messy mop for hair. ( I wish I had that mop today lol) I changed schools quite often so I had to try to make new friends. When you add the imperfections from all the above you have a formula as being the easy target.
A bullied child is often powerless to stop the bullying without  outside help. Bullying is an everyday occurance  and can happen right under our own noses. Most parent , teachers or guardian dont even know that this is happening because the child is too scared to let anyone know thinking that it will only get worse if they do.
 Bullying is the act of power through aggression. Victims suffer from low self esteam, are at risk for adjustment difficulties and even worse , depression.

This is where we step in. Starting October 9th we will be taking two separate groups of girls and boys (6 per class, 3 per trainer) ages 10-14 and help them overcome the torment of their abusers by building self confidence, work on fitness as well as self defense. This will give them and opportunity to channel their aggression to something positive and meet other kids with similar problems. I have been dealing with kids like this since I took over the club and now it's time to take it a step further. The cost is $50 a month and is co sponsored by Bryce Hansen and Anna Jorgensen to keep the cost down.  We will be running this course at Marc St Jules new location in Comox called the Living Room. Its a nice comfortable environment and less intimidating then a boxing club.
 St. Jules is a longtime promoter of anti-bullying awareness campaigns and has
put on events for UFC Vancouver in which he used the UFC as a sounding board.
This in turn went global and initiated the Fight Foundation (Knockout Bullying
Non-Profit Organization) out of Las Vegas founded by Keebo Robinson who took
part in St. Jules' UFC Vancouver anti-bullying events.
