kid power ju-jitsu in-school safety programs
Welcome to Kid Power Ju-Jitsu, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering students from kindergarten through 12th grade with essential self-defense and personal safety skills. Founded by Ronald Ricks, a highly respected martial arts instructor trained by world-renowned masters, our program is designed to equip children with the confidence and tools they need to navigate their environment safely.
At Kid Power Ju-Jitsu, we believe that every child deserves the right to feel safe and secure. That’s why we offer our programs completely free of charge to students within the underserved Los Angeles county School District. Our curriculum includes comprehensive 8-week Child Safety Programs and in-school P.E. elective courses that not only teach self-defense techniques but also promote physical fitness, respect, discipline, and self-esteem.
The benefits of our program extend far beyond physical safety. By participating in our classes, students learn vital skills that foster resilience, improve focus, and enhance social interactions. These life skills are crucial in helping young individuals navigate challenges both inside and outside of the classroom.
As we strive to expand our reach and impact, funding plays a pivotal role in our mission. With additional resources, we can bring our transformative program to more schools, ensuring that even more children can benefit from self-defense training and personal safety education. Together, we can create a safer environment for the youth of Los Angeles, empowering them to take charge of their safety and well-being.
Join us in our mission to make Kid Power Ju-Jitsu available to every child, providing them with the skills and confidence to thrive in today’s world.
