Parents - here's the stone cold truth: LEADERS DON'T GET BULLIED. There I said it.
♦️ Bullies pick on those they perceive as WEAKER, those who won't make noise or call attention.
♦️ That's why it's a priority in our classes for kids to EXPERIENCE leadership on the daily (by leading an exercise, captaining a group line, calling out the greeting, and more)
♦️ This 9 year old leader in the foreground, she's leading with confidence, using her voice in a way that's powerful, and exhibiting the self control and pacing needed to wait for her followers to respond. "They" DON'T teach this in school!

In light of the recent stabbing in Charleroi, this training should move from your "one day, it would be nice" folder, to your "Immediate need" folder. Private message me to register.

If you have ever though about what you would do against a knife attack. This weekend is your chance to gain some valuable knowledge and confidence. This is the first time I have offered a workshop that has been open to the public. No experience is necessary and you don't need to be "in shape". You just need the desire to acquire the knowledge and the skills. I will have training knives for all new people to use. Plus, all the adults at PTK Pittsburgh - Pekiti Tirsia Kali Training Center are some of the best people you will ever meet. Message me if you are in.
This Saturday, August 24th from 9:00AM to Noon
Bluegrass Grove, Round Hill Park is the meet up.
At some point we will probably move to another location in the park. It a popular grove.

I want to give a big "Thank You" to Officer Jonathon from the Liberty Borough Police Department for stopping by PTK Pittsburgh - Pekiti Tirsia Kali Training Center. He stopped by to say "Hello" to all of the kids in our youth program and gave them some goodies. Officer Jonathon said it was only his third shift working for Liberty. Welcome to the community and "Thank You" because you made their day extra special.
