The world is a scary place — especially for children. As toddlers, we’re told not to talk to strangers. Then as kids, we’re taught to hide sharp keys between our fingers while we’re walking home alone.
As teens, if we’re lucky, someone will instruct us in the art of self-defense, like this father did with his daughter when he demonstrated how to get out of a deadly choke hold.
Yet, quick video demos should be just the beginning of anyone’s self-defense education. There are so many forms of martial arts out there — traditional boxing, Krav Maga, jujutsu, and plenty more — that it’s easy for anyone to find the one that suits their personal tastes and needs. Just check out this adorable little girl who’s learning Taekwondo at the wee age of three years old! Not only does she look adorable in her in her teeny, tiny dobok, but she’s also learning a valuable skill that could one day save her life.
The little girl in the video below obviously does not know much about self-defense, but her father is trying to teach her the basics of Wing Chun, another Chinese martial art. The way she learns may seem unorthodox, but believe me, what happens at the very end is beautiful.
Please SHARE this important video with everyone you know so more people can be made aware that self-defense education is vital — but also if it just made you smile!
