I've been invited to participate in a number of "Health Week" activities at local elementary schools. Mostly, coordinators are requesting that I come in to classrooms to run a basic introduction to karate and self-defense — to get kids up and moving around, doing new and interesting things. Of course, this is a good thing for the kids, and a great opportunity for the dojo, so I'm happy to participate as my schedule allows.
But I'm also asking myself, what else can I do? As many as one in five (some say more) school children is obese. So why shouldn't I, as part of health week, provide kids and school staff with diabetes awareness and prevention materials? Can I come in and talk to kids about anger management? Now that's self-defense!
