This video refers to unnamed real events and criminal convictions for sexual abuse.
A shocked and outraged WoMA Show team talk about criminal acts that highlight the predatory behaviour of some people in martial arts, other sports and environments who have particularly preyed on minors and women.
Through their disbelief they try to suggest methodologies to prevent such appalling things happening. They look at other environments that have stricter controls such as child care and education.
They discuss;
Stricter background checks on all organizers
Enhanced regulatory supervision by external institutions
Segregating mixed age classes
Increasing the ratio of teaching staff to students
Restricting 1 to 1 lessons
Ensuring children are supervised before/ after class, and overseen by their parents during class from a viewing area
Using CCTV in the training areas and reception that is accessible to participants and parents
Encouraging parents to ask questions about the teaching, the teachers and the teaching environment
Even not teaching children
Calling out/ policing inappropriate adult behaviours such as senior grades dating students
