  • Fighting To End Bullying

    Fist of Gold is working to put an end to bullying now. We are offering kids boxing lessons for self-defense and confidence building. Every child deserves a chance to go to school and get an education plus positive social interaction with other kids. Too many kids go to school worried about being bullied. It's hard enough trying to get an education but to add the worry of getting bullied can be devastating. Since our program has started parents have seen dramatic changes in their children's behavior and confidence. We are always available for any child being bullied. If you know any one that needs help or if you need help yourself call any time

    Anti-Bullying Tactics :

    Bullying is unwanted and aggressive behavior
    Adults must respond quickly and consistently to send a message that it is not acceptable and will not be tolerated
    Important to show kids How to resolve problems firmly and fairly.
    It is okay to say NO.
