Kamen Rider & ATA Child Safety Day

Last weekend, Bandai America Incorporated joined forces with ATA Martial Arts and Adness Entertainment to host a special Kamen Rider Child Safety Day. The action packed event at ATA Studios in Stevenson Ranch California drew over 65 kids and kicked off our “Join the Kamen Rider Revolution” Sweepstakes at ATA Martial Arts Schools nationwide where one lucky person can win the Grand Prize of training with Kamen Rider actors and Martial Arts Champions Mike Moh and Matt Mullins in Hollywood.

The unforgettable child safety event featured the Martial Arts skills of Mike Moh, star of hit TV show Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, combined with ATA’s Kidz ‘N Power curriculum, which educated children on ways to stay safe and fit. The first lesson was a simple break away self-defense instruction, then came role playing with possible stranger danger situations, and methods to deal with bullies alongside trained martial artists.

A second “action class” with Mike Moh, demonstrated theatrical stunts from the show. One of the bloggers that attended the event with her family grabbed some great footage of the action in her online video.

In between classes we raffled away exclusive Kamen Rider “action packs” including our Kamen Rider action figures and role play toys, a Kamen Rider backpack, hat and t-shirt. INCLUDE PHOTO ATTACHED Even the kids that didn’t win still got to play with the toys as we set up a fun toy table packed with lots of awesome Kamen Rider toys that everyone seemed to enjoy.

Even if you couldn’t attend the event in person you can also enter our sweepstakes online. In addition to the grand training day prize, theme park tickets and Kamen Rider toys are also up for grabs. No purchase necessary to enter and the promotion runs from November 7 through December 5, 2009 online at www.bandai.com/kamenrider. Many will enter, few will win.
