What People Are Saying
ES
Principal
Elementary School Principal, Newark
"Since CINA came to our school, we've seen a measurable improvement in how students handle conflict. They walk away from confrontations. They use words. That's the DEFENDER curriculum working."

Parent
Parent of CINA Student
"My son used to come home frustrated and angry every day. After six months in CINA's Taekwondo program, he's calmer, more focused, and he's started helping other kids at school who are being bullied."

Student
CINA Student, Grade 7
"I learned that being strong isn't about fighting. It's about knowing when to walk away and when to stand up for someone else. DEFENDER taught me that."
