Walk Without Fear Charitable Trust is running a two-day anti-violence programme tomorrow, for up to 120 South Auckland secondary students.

The Trust plans to roll out national school programmes, which will include lessons to avoid coward punches.

Chair Eugene Bareman says kids are taught self-control, de-escalation and how to protect themselves. 

"Just how to approach a situation calmly when they're under pressure, just responding rather than reacting."
