The Rock and Water Program was first developed in Holland to help combat bullying and boy’s behaviour. Too often boys are described as troublemakers and their tasks of development and their problems are given too little attention. This in consequence can lead to a poor learning environment at school, a loss of self-control when confronted with problems, bullying and family concerns.
The Rock and Water program is the key to combat these big issues surrounding Boys Education!! The topics that this program offers, includes a knowledge and understanding of:
- Intuition,
- Body language,
- Mental strength,
- Bullying,
- Male image,
- Stereotyping,
- Positive thinking and positive visualising
Some basic self-defence skills are taught. The emphasis is on simple, harmless wrestling forms such as the tai-chi exercise of "pushing-hands". Physical contact exercises are linked with other forms of communication in order to improve communication abilities. This physical approach encourages discipline and perseverance in the boys and teaches boys how to deal with conflicts without losing self-control.
