Video Message from Rener Gracie
Not too long ago, surveillance camera video footage from a middle school in Indiana surfaced on the internet of a 13-year-old by, Austin McDaniel, getting beat mercilessly by a 15-year-old bully while at least a dozen bystanders did nothing to help. In this video message, Rener Gracie discusses How to Bullyproof a Nation. |

Bullies have been around since the beginning of civilization, and they aren't going away anytime soon. The U.S. Government's website against bullying, provides no sound solution for a child who is targeted by a persistent bully, and the string of highly publicized youth suicides is evidence that the schools cannot be entrusted with your child's safety. Over the last 85 years, the Gracie family has successfully bully-proofed tens of thousands of children using time-tested strategies featured in the Gracie Bullyproof program. Due to its effectiveness, the Gracie Bullyproof program has already been featured on NBC, CNN, and Oprah.com as an effective counter-measure to bullying. Based on our experience, there are only three solutions to bullying: 1) Bullyproof the Victims
A confident child is a bullyproof child. In the Gracie Bullyproof self-defense program, we will empower your child with unshakable confidence. They will learn the verbal strategies to stand up to bullies, and a series of non-violent self-defense techniques to keep them safe if they are physically attacked. This program is available at Gracie Bullyproof Certified Training Centers around the world, and can also be completed from home using our patented DVD programs or through the interactive online learning system on this website…read more. 2) Bullyproof the Bullies
We believe that bullies are created, not born. Somewhere along the way, bullies learn that the only way to elevate their social status is to utilize any power advantage to harass others. Consequently, the only way to effectively bullyproof a bully is to reeducate them regarding the proper use of any power advantage…read more. 3) Bullyproof the Schools
To end bullying in America, we must bullyproof the schools. The only way to bullyproof a school is to make intervention the social norm on campus. The challenge we face is that as long as the risk of intervention outweighs the reward for intervention, kids will not step in due to fear of retaliation. The Gracie Bullyproof School Transformation System is the only school-based anti-bullying program that effectively balances the power between victims and bullies and alters the peer pressure dynamic so that kids are intrinsically motivated to step in and lend a helping hand to any child in need…read more. So there you have it, the three solutions to bullying. Even though we have hundreds of certified instructors helping us make a difference, in order to bullyproof the world, we need your help. Whether you’re a parent who wants to empower your child from home, a community member who wants to show the bullies a better way, or a concerned citizen who wants to help us bullyproof a school in your hometown, you can make a HUGE difference in your community. Take your time to explore this site, and become familiar with all three anti-bullying initiatives, so that you can decide how to have the greatest impact in your community. If you have any comments or feedback, click here to send us a message – we’d love to hear from you. Thank you for helping us bullyproof the world, one child at a time. Your Friends, Ryron and Rener Gracie

| The Psychology of Bullying |
|
|
|
|
Bullying – the act of physically, verbally, or psychologically intimidating another person – is commonplace among children, and fear is the source of the bully's power. Without inducing fear in a victim, bullies have no power advantage. They seek victims who lack self-confidence so they can exploit their weaknesses and break their spirit. The only reliable way to stop a bully is to confront them. Dr. Susan Lipkins, a child psychologist who specializes in bullying, tells us, "50 percent of the time, if you just say no to a bully, they'll stop, so we need to teach kids how to protect their space, how to be firm and how not to be a victim." However, that's easier said than done... read more. |

Preparation for Bullies
Although school based anti-bullying initiatives may reduce the frequency and visibility of harassment, bullies will always exist in schools and other segments of society, therefore, the only guaranteed solution to bullying is for you to "bullyproof" your child with unshakable confidence needed to take a stand and neutralize the harassment. |
|
|
|
|
2. |
|
Resist Peer Pressure
In order to resist peer pressure, a child must have very high self-esteem. By teaching your child self-defense techniques and giving them a step-by-step plan for dealing with aggressive kids, you will dramatically boost their confidence, which will increase their ability to make the right choices in all areas of life. |
|
|
|
|
3. |
|
Discipline for Life
The Gracie Kid’s Belt System is designed to reward children for their hard work. By engaging in the Gracie Bullyproof learning process, your child will have the opportunity to earn a new stripe every 20 classes, and with each promotion the principles of hard work perseverance will be reinforced in your child. Eventually, your child will realize that discipline and dedication nothing is impossible. |

|
Exercise the Mind and Body
With child obesity rates at an all-time high, it has never been more important for children to stay active. Aside from teaching your child skills that will last a lifetime, Gracie Bullyproof provides your child with fun learning experience, as engaging as any video game, while exercising their whole body – not just there thumbs. |

|
Strengthen the Bond
Most parents do not get to spend as much time with their child as they would like. The Gracie Bullyproof program allows you to make the most out of your time with your children since it’s educational and fun, but most importantly, the close physical contact of the techniques will allow you to physically bond with your child in a way that cannot be achieved by throwing a Frisbee or playing basketball. |

I love the Gracie Bullyproof program! I went over the Crazy Horse lessons with my daughter once, and since then she asks me every night to do Crazy Horse. It actually works! I look forward to going over this with her for years to come and then years from now my grandkids. Thanks guys for putting together a top notch system. |

Received the Gracie BullyProof DVDs yesterday evening and I spent four hours stright watching them. I was so amazed at how much fun the kids were having. Thank you for putting together a very important training tool for our youngsters. You can see that they are excited, eager to learn and they are soaking in the info like a sponge. This will help me to make an even better bond with my Grandbabies. |

I just wanted to say Gracie Bullyproof is incredible! My 7-year-old has learned two of the games and we spent hours playing them the other day. Ryron, Rener and the Gracie family have given me and my son such a gift, thank you so much! |
