Knowledge in martial arts can help solve the bullying and crime problem - what do u think?

Question

i feel very concerned about the bullying cases in schools especially in Britain. Do u think that teaching these children martial arts (like karate, silat, judo and taekwondo) will help? so if a bully wants to bully any child, the child can defend himself or herself through this skill?

since the bullying cases in schools is on the rise - don't u think it should be held compulsory?? the kids just need to learn the BASIC art of defending himself or herself...

I personally feel that this issue IS MORE IMPORTANT as the children are the FUTURE GENERATION and there is a need to NURTURE THE FUTURE GENERATION - compared to the so-much debate of the proposed Shariah law.

With the debate, I wonder what the children are thinking: as they observe how adults "squabble" over the Shariah law.

Shariah law is meant for Muslims - so if the Muslims in UK wants it - that's their choice and that's DEMOCRACY

Answer 1

I believe that martial arts can help solve the bully and crime problem.

When I was young, I was thin and asthmatic and the big kids pick on me alot. But when I studied martial arts (a also go into weight training) those bullies back out and I never got into a fight.

Martial Arts teach not fighting but more lessons and values in life like discipline and doing the right thing. So those kids are less likely to go into crime.

Here in the Philippines, martial arts is part of life just as working to earning a learn or watching TV.

No.

Nothing will be solve.
