Gracie's Bullyproofing...

[Lex_Luthor]

We had a kid that got jumped by 3 other kids at school. He defended himself, hurt 2 of 3 pretty badly, and the 3rd got wiser about what he was doing. Unfortunately we lost him in class because his school expelled him and he was upset that kung fu is what got him in trouble. I made sure he knew he did the right thing.

While I hope my son never experiences it, we are preparing him to handle himself (he just started 1st grade, BTW). He's in Kenpo and while it's caused some trouble with "play fighting", it's been a good experience for him.

He did get in a bit of trouble once - last year, in Kindergarten, the one annoying kid in class was following him around the play ground bugging the crap out of him with questions. Randy told the kid to leave him alone and walked away, but the kid wouldn't stop. Finally, he had enough and just stopped while putting his arm up in an outward block - kid walked into his fist and busted his lip. Luckily, the teacher had been watching the whole time and understood why it happened. Quick trip to the principal's office and request to use more restraint. Best part was when we made him tell his karate instructor and he said "He walked into my fist with his face." We had a hard time not laughing while telling him that wasn't the best thing to do!
