School Policies
• Most schools have implemented zero-tolerance bullying policies.
• These policies reduce the number of physical fights, but do not prevent verbal harassment.
• Verbal harassment is often more damaging than physical harassment.
The Three T-steps
• Talk: Respectfully and confidently ask the bully to stop.
• Tell: If the bully won’t stop, ask your teachers and parents to help.
• Tackle: If the grownups can’t solve it, tackle the bully mentally with verbal Wing Chun, and then, if they become physically aggressive, tackle them physically with their Wing Chun.
Rules of Engagement
• Rule 1: Avoid the fight at all costs.
• Rule 2: If physically attacked, defend yourself.
• Rule 3: If verbally attacked, follow the Three T-steps (talk, tell, tackle).
• Rule 4: Never punch or kick the bully, establish control and negotiate.
• Rule 5: When applying submissions use minimal force and negotiate.
The Critical Conversation
• Regardless of how the fight starts, you will go to the principal’s office.
• Following the Rules of Engagement will make it easier to explain your reaction to the bully’s aggression.
• Explain all the steps you took to get help and how they did not solve the problem.
• Explain how when the bully attacked you, you purposely tried not to cause injury.
Violation of the Rules
• If you follow the Rules of Engagement, you will not get in trouble at home.
• If you violate the Rules of Engagement, at-home training must stop for a period of time.
• If you abuse your power, we will remove your name from the list of BULLYPROOF belt holders.
• Your confidence in the Rules of Engagement will reduce the likelihood of fights.
