Tim Flynn, Michael D. Cohen

(NewMediaWire) - October 29, 2024 - Glendale, CA - October is National Bully Prevention Month, a time to reflect on the importance of standing against bullying and fostering a culture of kindness. On October 19, 2024, a powerful event took place at The Martial Arts History Museum in Glendale, CA, aimed at empowering children and parents alike. Hosted by Nickelodeon star Michael D. Cohen and renowned anti-bullying advocate Tim Flynn, the Karate Chop Bullying Seminar brought together families for an inspiring afternoon of education and empowerment.

The seminar, which was free and open to kids ages 5 and up, attracted a diverse audience eager to learn about bullying and how to combat it. With a focus on compassion and self-confidence, Tim Flynn, owner of Kato Karate and a child development expert, shared invaluable insights. His approach blends martial arts with essential life skills, teaching children not just how to defend themselves physically, but also how to stand up for themselves emotionally.

Highlights from the seminar included sessions on:
- What is Bullying?: Understanding the different forms bullying can take.
- Discovering Your Superpower: Encouraging children to recognize their unique strengths.
- The Importance of Self-Worth: Teaching kids that they are valuable and deserving of respect.
- Being Yourself: Promoting authenticity and self-acceptance.
- Personal Stories: Celebrities and attendees shared their own experiences with bullying, creating a powerful sense of community and solidarity.
The seminar concluded with a meet-and-greet, where participants could connect with Michael D. Cohen and Tim Flynn, further enriching the experience.

A Role Model in Advocacy
Michael D. Cohen, known for his roles in Nickelodeon’s hit shows Henry Danger and Danger Force, is not only a talented actor but also a vocal advocate for inclusivity and self-acceptance. His journey, including being the first openly transgender series regular on a kids’ show, resonates with many. His involvement in this seminar exemplifies the power of using one’s platform for good.

Tim Flynn’s credentials as a 6th-degree Black Belt and a leading voice in the anti-bullying movement underscore the importance of martial arts in building confidence and resilience. Through his podcast, Breaking Bullying, www.breakingbullying.com and partnerships with organizations like the local United Way, Tim is committed to spreading the message that bullying should not be tolerated.
