American Medicine Today visits with Amir Academy of Martial Arts in St. Petersburg, Florida.
According to the National Center for Educational Statistics in 2016, more than 1 out of every 5 children reported being bullied at school. Amir Academy’s martial arts program teaches kids self-confidence as a means to deter bullying, as well as the skills necessary to defend themselves if things escalate. During the segment we speak to owner and head instructor, Master Amir Ardebily, who has been practicing martial arts for over 48 years and has had a school in St. Petersburg for over 30 years. We also speak to two students, Carter and Evan, about what they’ve learned since joining the Academy and how these skills are applied to their time at school.
