Re: Defensive options for kids
Better scream for help. I doubt a girl will pull a hip escape from under a big guy sitting on her but you never know.

Re: Defensive options for kids
I have been training in Muay Thai for 16 years. BJJ for seven. I
Teach Muay Thai and BJJ to adults and teens and also some MMA and I agree with what was said by the previous posters. Martial Arts will give them a good set skill. It can be effective but obviously size advantage makes a big difference. The chances of a 7 years old girl actually pulling a submission on an adult attacker are slim. But start them at 5 and when they are 12 they will be good.
Stick to a good martial art with a good instructor. Breaking boards and flying kicks look good but have very little use in a real life situation.
Teach your kids to be street smart. Not talk to strangers etc. Much better.
