Extreme Martial Arts — EMA Fight Back

Ages 9–12

Juniors Program (9–12 Years)

Confidence, Awareness & Smart Safety Skills for Growing Kids

Overview

The EMA Fight Back Juniors Program is designed for children aged 9 to 12 years, a stage where they begin to experience more independence — travelling alone, interacting with peers, using devices, and facing social challenges.

This program teaches practical People Safety Skills that help children stay safe, act confidently, and handle situations that commonly arise at school, home, playgrounds, online, and in public places.

It builds confidence, courage, communication skills, and responsibility.

Why Juniors Need This Program

Children aged 9–12 experience:

  • Bullying or teasing at school
  • Pressure from friends
  • Conflicts and misunderstandings
  • Unsafe touching or behaviour
  • Being alone at home or outside
  • Feeling shy or nervous to speak up
  • Online interactions and digital risks
  • Travel safety issues (bus stops, shops, lifts, parks)

They are smart enough to understand danger but still developing the confidence to stand up for themselves. This program bridges that gap.
