My child had no confidence and kept getting bullied at school. People kept calling him a Wuico, which must be new slang! In short, the instructors were great and friendly and my child's confidence is up! Thanks for the great work Sifu Brar!

My 4-year-old has been coming here for about six months. He loves his 'jedi' training and couldn't be happier. The staff are firm but fair and teach manners and kindness as well as discipline and the actual Kung Fu moves. Recommend to anyone with a lively child looking for an activity.

My son has been attending classes at BMS WooShoo for almost two years now and is one belt away from being a black belt. When he started I was exasperated as he didn’t seem to be able to focus and his school was also worried about his inability to focus too. He is now transformed and I can’t thank BMS WooShoo enough as they have given both my son and I so much support with perseverance and it’s paid off for sure. He’s just had an outstanding report from school and he’s really come on leaps and bounds with his focus in class. Thank you!

My son has been a student at BMS Wooshoo for a year now and I must say that the standards of teaching at this school are way above average. Very professional instruction with amazing results on the children. These lessons involve much more than the teaching of physical skills. They are about self-control, self-confidence, self-defence and respect. Highly recommended!

BMS Wooshoo has played a big role in my son's confidence. He has become more resilient too. He has grown so much in this 1 year. Thank You from the heart. I remember how worried I was when I came to see Miss Kata the very first time. And now I leave with a smile and pride at every lesson. Thank You

Absolutely fantastic place. Staff are fab, really wonderful with kids. My 8 year old wasn't sure when she first started attending as a 5 year old, but very quickly came to love it. Such a great concept for teaching young kids discipline and defence in a warm and fun environment. Teachers are kind and nurturing and I have seen my daughter's confidence, disciple and skills improve immensely.

Had a 7th birthday party for my son, run by the team at BMS WooShoo. Studio was cool despite it being the hottest day of the year so far. They were great at engaging the children and my son was beyond excited about ‘board breaking’ in front of his friends and cutting his cake with a ‘samarai sword’. Booking and paying for the party all very smooth too. Thank you!!

The Shopper’s Self Defence Guide

December 2, 2019

The Shopper’s Self Defence Guide

Holiday shopping can be a thrill. In a good way and even in a bad way. Adding a little self

defence mentality can go a long way.

 

Self-Awareness

You have society on your side. Potential criminals (for the most part) won’t just obnoxiously run

up to you in front of a crowd and take your things.

These criminals are looking for an opportune situation. As long as you are aware of your

surroundings, you can prevent yourself from ever falling into one of these situations.

Your own body is a part of your surroundings. It would be a foolish decision to count cash in

public. This is something you should be aware of, and instead count your cash privately.

The ultimate holiday shopping self-defence tip is to simply be aware. Be aware of where a

potential pick pocket is, and what a potential pick pocket is looking for.

 

The Pick Pocket

Pickpockets thrive on holiday shopping. There are crowds of people, loaded with cash and

jewellery who know nothing about practical self-defence.

Get inside the mind of the pick pocket. They are looking for crowds. Pay attention when in a

crowd. Don’t forget where all your belongings are.

Avoid dark areas. Keep your wallet in your front pockets. Don’t let your bag or purse hang

behind you. Everything valuable should be positioned up front where your eyes and hands can

follow them at all time.

Wear simple, comfortable, and non-flowing clothing. The biggest aspect of holiday shopping self

defence is being prepared. Pay attention and stay safe.

 

Dealing with Your Car

Another holiday shopping hotspot for thieves is your vehicle.

Pay attention to where you parked. Don’t park in a dark corner. Park where it’s bright. Even if

this means you have to park further away, putting yourself in a favourable position is the

centrepiece of holiday shopping self-defence.

Pay attention when you finish shopping. The walk back to your car is the most dangerous. The

criminals know that you are finished with all of your holiday gifts and exhausted. Have your keys

ready in hand, and don’t waste any time.

Pay attention to your surroundings, get to your car, and get out. If you are worried about your

situation, then don’t be scared to ask a security guard to escort you.
