Do you have a child or know of a child who is/has been bullied?
Studies show if your child is going to be bullied it will most likely happen on the playground.
Defenders of Kindness: A Jiu Jitsu tale has a three-fold purpose:
1) A resource to introduce discussions with your children about bullying
2) Introduce your children to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
3) Discuss how God wants us to be strong, kind and love others
The motto "I am strong, I am kind and I love others" comes straight from the Bible and is repeated after every kid's class at Burdette BJJ!
As you read this book with your child (or your child reads it alone) they will be intrigued by this story of self-defense, and of the story of love and kindness, even to the bullies in life.
Additionally, reading this book may lead to your child joining a BJJ gym and learning how to defend themselves and others.
