Publisher's Synopsis
As a Response to young people being victimized by bullies, more and more parents are choosing to enroll their children in martial arts schools. But are these schools teaching what their students really need? Dr. Terrence Webster-Doyle demonstrates convincingly how conventional instruction in martial arts-focused on physical skills only-is not enough to help young people understand and resolve conflict. However, if they are introduced to a whole martial art, one that teaches how to avoid and therefore prevent conflict, young people can learn to deal with threatening situations powerfully and effectively, without resorting to physical violence.
