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.

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.
