On Saturday, August 25, as South Florida prepared for Tropical Storm Isaac the City of Doral and Miami-Dade County honored us with a proclamation for my new anti-bullying program “Art of Fighting without Fighting Anti-Bullying.” We where honored to be presented with a proclamation from City of Doral Mayor Juan Carlos Bermudez. The Mayor made it to the event even though he had numerous meetings in preparation for the coming storm. County Commissioner Jose “Pepe” Diaz was also present to present us with a proclamation from Miami-Dade County in-spite having to begin preparation for the tropical storm Isaac and he was also celebrating his daughters Fifteen Birthday that night. Also in attendance was former Vice Mayor Rob Van Name. Rob has never missed an event that he was invited to at Anta’s Fitness and Self Defense. The workshop had a great turnout and was a great success in spite of South Florida preparing for Tropical Storm Isaac. I would like to thank Miami-Dade County Commissioner Jose “Pepe” Diaz, City of Doral Mayor Juan Carlos Bermudez and Former Vice Mayor Rob Van Name for the proclamation, attending my workshop and their friendship.
Art of Fighting without Fighting is a complete Anti-Bullying program that I developed after 14 years of research in anti-bullying, martial arts and fitness. It teaches children to project their voices, how to walk with confidence, how to avoid the bully, as a last resort reality based self defense. We also teach children how to be compassionate and stand up for kids being bullied. It also teaches parents how to identify if their child is being bullied, if their child is a bully, how to handle a bullying incident and how to be compassionate with your child if they are being bullied and how to speak to your child’s teachers and school.
Let me tell you how I developed this program. This Anti-Bullying program was inspired by Bruce Lee philosophy and teachings. I’m also the only fully certified Martial Arts for Peace Bully Busters instructor under the originator and anti-bullying author Dr. Terrance Webster Doyle. I’m a retired law enforcement officer, an honorably discharged United States Marine Corps Sergeant, a certified Bruce Lee Jeet Kune Do instructor, Israeli Krav Maga and Haganah instructor, Muay Thai instructor and Hung Gar Kung Fu Master. I’ve read numerous books on anti-bullying. Through my law enforcement and military experience, anti-bullying studies and certification and my martial arts experience I developed the Art of Fighting without Fighting Anti-Bullying program. Working as an officer in a maximum security prison gave me great experience in anti-bullying.
