Background:
It is our sincere intention to provide beneficial activities for our youth in an Islamic enviroment during the school holidays. Often do parents complain that their kids are bored at home during the holidays and there are no activities to occupy them. Many kids occupy themselves with useless activities and sometimes get upto mischief. As the course will only be followed on weekdays, parents can plan weekend activities and outings for their kids as usual.

Two hours of training per day would teach them how to defend themselves against attacks and how to deal with aggression. 40 hours of training over 20 days usually amounts to 3-6 months of training.
