In this episode of Grappling with Fatherhood, we dive deep into the real meaning of self-defense — not just as a physical skill, but as a mindset we can pass on to our kids.

We explore:

How to teach our children the why behind self-defense — building confidence without aggression

Strategies for navigating bullying — when to step in, when to listen, and how to empower kids to handle conflict

What it means to model that restraint as a father and practitioner

Personal stories from the mats and the playground that reflect the daily balancing act of being strong and safe

Whether you're raising little white belts or just trying to raise kids who know their worth, this episode offers perspective, tools, and a few hard-earned lessons to carry with you — on and off the mats.
