KIDPOWER India works closely with KIDPOWER International for developing training programs, material and for training of staff.

In 2008, 2 members were trained in the KIDPOWER method at the KIDPOWER International office in Santa Cruz, USA. The training includes practicing teaching with groups of children, as well as mastering the method and the content of the curriculum. Special attention is given to the success based method of teaching, which means that there is strive for progress and only positive and supporting remarks are made to guide the participants to mastering the skills. Also, in 2008, 1 member was trained in the TEENPOWER, FULLPOWER methods at the KIDPOWER International office in Santa Cruz, USA. The training included practising teaching to groups of teenagers as well as further improving on the method of teaching. The TEENPOWER method is geared towards the increase of mobility when children become teenagers. Also the language will be adapted to their more mature understanding. Finally in the FULLPOWER method for adults the language is again more mature, including a full scope of verbal assault, which is useful to practise in a safe setting to be prepared for it in the real world.

Both certified instructors also had extensive training in the use of kick-pads in teaching self defense skills.

As the local office and part of the bigger KIDPOWER family we keep the following principles, which count for everybody, in high esteem:
 
 
PERSONAL SAFETY
"I can use my own power to stay safe ."
 
CONFIDENCE
" I can believe in myself ."
 
SELF PROTECTION
" I can protect myself from trouble ."
 
ADVOCACY
" I can speak up for myself and others ."
