Social Kung Fu
Australia’s #1 Verbal Self Defense & Confidence Training For Schools.
Virtual training & workshops that coach students in the art of verbal self-defense and confidence that’s grounded in research.
Australian teenagers were asked who actually helps when life gets hard. The leaderboard:
Friends - 77%
Parents - 76%
Pets — 56%
The internet — 54%
School counsellor / teacher / coach — 50% (and half of kids don't even bother using one)
Spiritual or religious mentor — 20%|
Parents come in second. Second.
Out of every adult, every professional, every institution, every app and algorithm a teenager could turn to, you are beaten only by their best mate.
You outrank the dog. You outrank Google. You outrank the school counsellor by 26 points. You outrank the priest by nearly four times.
If you've ever thought "my kid never tells me anything" the data says you're wrong. Three out of four young Australians rate their parents as helpful. You're already in the inner circle. The job isn't to break in. It's to not get kicked out.
Meanwhile, a Labrador outranked your trained, qualified, university-educated school counsellor. A goldfish that has eaten its own reflection three times this week is more emotionally available than a priest.
If you're a teacher reading this, I'm sorry.

ATTENTION: Private Schools in Newcastle, Central Coast & Sydney.
We're running our 3rd round of research with the University of Sydney into bullying, resilience, and adolescent mental health.And we're not looking for every school.
We're looking for private schools willing to admit something most won't:That bullying is actually happening on their campus.
Not the polished version. Not the "we have a wellbeing program" version.
The real one.If your school has Year 8–10 students dealing with verbal abuse, social exclusion, cyberbullying, or worse — and your leadership is ready to do something about it, not hide from it — we want to hear from you.What we need:
✔️ Private school in NSW (Newcastle, Central Coast, or Sydney)
✔️ Cohort of 40–50 students minimum in Years 8–10
✔️ Active bullying being addressed by staff
✔️ Willingness to follow the full research process (parent comms, consent forms, 3 surveys, 4 weeks of program delivery)
In return, your school gets a fully funded, evidence-based program delivered by Social Kung Fu, plus a research report from the University of Sydney on your cohort's outcomes.
Spots are limited. Applications take 5 minutes.

You cannot just rely on the school bullying gets out of control. The system is often too slow and before you know it the damage is done. Take control.
