SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - In support of National Bullying Prevention Month, Claudio Franca Brazilian Jiu Jitsu schools (CFBJJ) in Santa Cruz, Watsonville and San Jose are offering free introductory Jiu Jitsu classes for kids of all ages.
The National Bullying Prevention Center, founder of October's National Bullying Prevention Month, reports that over 160,000 students in the United States stay home from school every day for fear of being bullied. The organization's statistics also show that more than half of bullying situations will stop with peer intervention.
"First and foremost, Jiu Jitsu teaches respect. We instill in our young students the importance of discipline and honoring our peers and authority, as well as ourselves. Self defense is secondary," says Master Claudio Franca, a 5th-degree black belt and father of two.
The promotion runs through October at CFBJJ school locations in Santa Cruz, Watsonville, and San Jose. The offer is valid for new students only and includes one free class per week.
Children's classes are offered on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday in Santa Cruz; and Monday, Wednesday and Saturday in Watsonville and San Jose.
