The Sherman Oaks Neighborhood Council Public Safety Committee is proud to present a Summer Series on Kids Personal Safety. This first lecture is with Sherman Oaks martial arts studio, KMA Black Belt Champions. KMA has taught self-defense to thousands of kids and will be sharing their unique
insights over the next few months in our Public Safety Committee meetings.
At any age – it is universally understood that the best self-defense is a keen awareness of your surroundings. Next time you go out with your kids, ask them, “Look around, where is Safety?”
For our June 8th meeting, KMA Instructors discussed:
 Statistics and Profile of a typical child predator
 Common lures bad guys use to pull your kid into their world
 Safe Zones and Rules Kids can follow

The old idea of ‘Stranger-Danger’ doesn’t really work because strangers are everywhere! But early realization that someone means harm is an important skill that can be learned. We want to keep our Sherman Oaks kids safe with this 4-part series.

Parents, Aunts/Uncles, Caregivers, Grandparents – are all invited to our meetings to watch the presentations and demos, ask questions and be part of a simple way of keeping our kids safer in this world.
