Resilience training for children

Bullyproof

Is your child being bullied, or finding it hard to fit in? Our Bullyproof programme makes children stronger, physically and mentally.

Build resilience

A year of building confidence

The Bullyproof programme was designed to improve children’s resilience and confidence step by step. Your child learns to recognise bullying and deal with it.

The programme lasts one year. Every three months children take a test and earn a higher grade (a “belt”). The year ends with a final test and a festive presentation of the Kung Fu Bullyproof certificate.

We want every child to have this training because the effects are visible: your child becomes stronger, physically and mentally.

Free trial classes

How your child starts

You can sign your child up for two free trial classes.

  1. Private lesson: you and your child meet the instructor and learn the basics of Kung Fu.
  2. Group class: your child meets the group and trains with them for the first time.
  3. Reflection talk: in a private conversation we discuss your child’s needs and wishes, and how to get started as soon as possible.

It’s important that you, as a parent, attend both lessons.

What parents say

Besides Kung Fu, the Sihings teach our child to stay calm, be disciplined and concentrate.
Riginald R.Parent
Over the past year my children have not only grown physically, they’ve become much stronger mentally too. I notice it at home, at school and in the neighbourhood.
Mulyanah v.d. L.Parent
It’s great to see the boys training not just their bodies, but their minds as well.

My child isn’t being bullied. Is this still for us?

Definitely. Resilience and confidence are valuable for every child, including as prevention.
