Marine Corps Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape training (SERE)?

Kids know who their bullies are, where they will find them, avoid them when possible, resist if necessary and escape as at all costs.

And Mary said it best when it comes to children.

Even as adults, dealing with the cause of the situation with your mind is a better path than simply trying to fixing it by training to deal with it after it has already happened once and 'for when it happens again.'

Better to be aware of your environment at all times and make choices (where possible) to place yourself in the safest possible position and minimize unnecessary risks. Teach kids to think similarly and in the case of bullies.. well, find which staff at the school truly care enough about that and make sure the children know they 'should' tell that person when they are threatened by said bullies.

Martial arts instruction for actual application for kids in those situation may not end well despite the best intentions.
