School Programs
Hoshin is a highly effective, realistic style of self-defence with courses particularly suited to teenagers and young people. As more schools are becoming aware of the need to teach their students real self defence and not just competition/sport martial arts, they are turning to Hoshin Australia for our innovative and motivational range of courses especially designed for young Australian teenagers and primary school children.
Hoshin Instructors can provide:
- School Sports Programs
- Effective Anti-bullying programs
- Talks on serious adolescent issues such as drug and alchohol awareness and effective teenage safety and life skills to deal with unhealthy peer pressure
- Manners Programs
- Communication and Conflict Resolution skills for parents and teenagers
WHY have HOSHIN JUTSU in my school?
Hoshin has run programmes with local councils, the Police, St Vincent de Paul and the Salvation Army. Hoshin has been taught in such diverse schools as Barrenjoey High, Pymble Ladies College, Northern Beaches Christian School, Willoughby & Hornsby Girls high, Roseville College and John Colet school to name a few.
We have instructed Guides, Scouts and Venturers for their respective 'patches' and run special courses for domestic violence workers.
We teach in Domestic Violence refuges for women and young children in Sydney each week. We periodically run free S.T.R.I.K.E programs for teenagers in areas where there is a particular problem with teenage binge drinking.
Instructor Rose Smith also volunteers for the Salvation Army, helping facilitate the counselling course the Salvos run for people wishing to work with the chronically homeless and unemployed young people in our inner city, who list among some of the most disadvantaged and at-risk children and young people in our country.
Hoshin teaches not only the physical but also the moral aspects of martial arts. This is extremely necessary to ensure students not only use their martial arts in self-defence alone, but that they also know it is their responsibility to care for and protect others with the skills they have learnt - whether it is preventing a friend from driving home drunk, or stopping another from the use of harmful drugs or binge drinking. Only through moral lessons can the physical skill truly be useful. We use Robert L Humphrey's philosophy of the Dual Life Values System. Visit www.lifevalues.com for more information.
