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

“Martial Arts and Bullyproofing kids, teaches them that they have the power of controlling their focus, attitudes, and their experience of the world around them. This is such an important element in helping kids grow up into happy, successful, and passionately fulfilled adults, that will in turn raise the next generation of happy healthy kids.”

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.”

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