5 Skills Every Child Should Know

The Greene County Guide to Bully-Proofing

Worried about bullying? We created a free, 5-step guide for parents to practice safety at home—no experience required.

  • The Safety Roll: How to fall without fear.
  • The Shield: Managing distance without aggression.
  • The Verbal Loop: What to say to stop a bully.

When emotions spike, we use a calm “quiet power” reset called a Samurai Break so kids can cool down without feeling punished.

Choose your Style, Train in BJJ

Kids love games and character select screens. We use this artwork to show how Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fits into the wider world of grappling styles – then we bring it to life on the mats.

  • Built around real kids from Tannersville, NY
  • Shows how BJJ connects to wrestling, judo, and more
  • Used in class to explain positions and respect for other arts

BJJ Anatomy: Skeleton Basics

Kids don’t just roll around – they learn how their bodies work. We use this poster in class so students can point to their hips, ribs, spine, and shoulders and talk about what they feel.

  • Teaches real names for major bones and joints.
  • Makes safety talks easier: “my elbow feels tight,” not “my arm hurts.”
  • Kid-friendly, game-style artwork they recognize and remember.

Parents are welcome to snap a photo in the studio and review it at home.
