October is National Bully Prevention Month, and Kutztown Martial Arts wants to help children become bully-proof and teach women about self-defense in the event of a violent encounter.

Owner Jeremy Schoener says, “Bullying continues to be a national problem that can lead to many emotional and psychological problems in the future. Here at KMA, we teach jiu-jitsu strictly for self-defense, rather than competition. Children need to learn how to stand up to bullying and women need to be able to protect themselves.”
