THE TRI-STATE AREA’S MOST EFFECTIVE ANTI-BULLY TRAINING
Our traditional martial arts program builds confidence and teaches kids how to handle bullying in every class. But we go even further—we offer specialized courses for children and adults on how to effectively combat bullying.
Our
expertise extends beyond the dojo! We’ve held
clinics for schools, public
institutions, and even workplace environments, helping people
of all ages handle bullying and harassment.
The best way to
prepare for life’s challenges is to
enroll in our martial arts
program.
Through training, students develop:
✅ Confidence
✅ Self-Esteem
✅ Self-Respect
✅ Mental & Physical Strength
REAL SOLUTIONS—NOT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
Bullying is a serious issue, and we don’t sugarcoat our methods to appease those who haven’t experienced its impact firsthand. Franz Shihan knows this struggle personally—having been a bullying target from 8th to 10th grade. Through martial arts training, he found the strength to stand up for himself, and the bullying stopped.
At Franz Karate, we empower students with real skills and real confidence—so they’ll never be victims.
