Ive been having a little problem with my kids the last few months, two of them are getting badly bullied by a group of youngsters, one whos the ringleader isnt very nice at all..
Last week my youngest was pushed under a car, thankfully it was parked up, but its been really worrying me, so i decided id train them both up in kickboxing..lol
2 nights a week we have been using the handwraps and bag and ive been trying to pass on everything i learnt, i got pretty good, i boxed against blokes as well as women and although i was small i made sure i was quicker, so size wasnt an issue for me..
I took it up as my past put me in situtations that werent very nice, i was bullied not by groups but by an ex parter for years, so i know how these kids feel..
They have been doing really well, they both block well, which is always a good start in self defence, but i didnt want them using what i was teaching in a bad way, so both promised only to use it as self defence and if they were hit first.. two wrongs never make a right and i didnt want their new confidence to go to their head so they actually made the situaltion worse..
Yesterday they went to boys brigade as usual, but both came back with various marks accross the face and neck, but they were both looking so pleased with themselves.
Apparently the bully started again as soon as brandon walked in, he straight away punched him in the face and went to throw another.. Brandon said he couldnt stop the first hit as he was walking through the door but he did block the 2nd ! lol he then stuck his guard up to protect himself and sent a right hook flying round the bullies head... hehe (i know its not funny, but im glad he did it) ive watched my son shrink in confidence week after week, being the target of this horrible lads agression and it needed to stop...
The bully must have been surprised as he went off crying calling for his bigger mates.. he comes back with 3 more horrible ones just like him and then starts on my other son callum, now callum is the quiestest little lad you could ever meet..
He was shouting pay back time whilst he scratched my son straight accross his cheek laughing, the brigade leaders were informed by this time and were running accross the hall..
Instead of callum hiding up (which he would normally do) he somehow found the strength to rip open the bullys shirt punch him hard enough to put him down and calmly said,
" my mum taught me that all bullys only hit if you dont hit them back ! so now leave us alone ".....
Im not proud of them fighting, but i am proud of the fact they found enough confidence to stick up for themselves last night.. he wont bother them again im sure of that, and has a lovely black eye today to show for his bullying..
Ive been told im getting a visit tonight from the mother, ive dealt with her before and enjoy smiling nicely while she shouts obsenities at me... hehe
They blame the kids for todays unruley society, but as i found out it usually starts at home....
I was hoping for a quiet night in tonight too ......lol
