This latest volume, which is scheduled for release in October, will include contributions from Timin and ten other experts in various industries that address the growing problem of bullying.

“So many children are bullied every day, and the consequences can be devastating,” says Timin, a lifelong martial artist.  “Kids who are the targets of bullying desperately need help and support – along with real solutions for dealing with the situation. That’s where we come in. We can give children solid bully-defense skills, help build their confidence, and inspire them to stand up for themselves and each other so they won’t be victims. With this chapter in BULLYPROOF, I’m helping lead the mission to keep our kids safe.”

BULLYPROOF: Unleash the Hero Inside Your Kid, is a project started by Alex Changho, a martial arts professional and business coach.

“There are many programs out that are meant to help parents and kids deal with bullying,” says Changho.  “But so many of them are designed to ‘keep the peace’  or ‘reduce conflict at schools’ instead of actually addressing the real problem.  The problem is not bullying in itself.  The problem is the negative effects that bullying has on kids.  The solution is to bullyproof the individual, by empowering more people, and helping them feel great about themselves.  When inevitably the bullying happens, it will be ineffective.”

Timin’s involvement in the BULLYPROOF project will bring an effective, working solution to the families of Naples  Along with the release of the book, Impact Martial Arts will hold free workshops, resources, and training for the community.
