Doug Connell's personal story is a BIG part of why our anti-bullying mission matters so much!
When Doug was just 11, he was bullied by an older 15-year-old boy!
That experience shaped his understanding of fear, pressure, and what young people need in order to feel safe!
It is one of the reasons Shogun Practical Karate is committed to helping children build real confidence, practical awareness, and the strength to stand up to bullying without becoming aggressive themselves!
As Anti-Bullying Week 2026 takes place from Monday 16th to Friday 20th November, and this year's theme, "Break the Silence," encourages everyone to speak up, support one another, and help stop bullying, Doug's story is a direct reminder of why this work is so IMPORTANT for families in Harrow, Watford, Feltham, and Stanmore!
