Your child has been invited to attend a program offered by Yo Bro | Yo Girl Youth Initiative (YBYG) at the Yacht Club in Kamloops, BC. The program tentatively runs on August 19-22, 2024 at 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
YBYG Martial Arts Club is an extra-curricular program for youth in partnership with the City of Kamloops and is offered to youth at no cost. Participation in a YBYG program is an exciting opportunity to connect with peers, participate in some physical activity and confidence-building activities, and develop leadership skills.
The emphasis is on environmental awareness and strategies to avoid dangerous situations. Self-defense techniques that can be used in a crisis are taught by a certified instructor.
