The other day I was reading something in the Miami Herald about the declining bullying in schools in Miami. Optional, standardized martial arts training in schools might be to thank for the trend. Since 2004, over 80 elementary and middle schools have begun to offer after school martial arts instruction in Miami. Mixed martial arts, which blends the best self-defense aspects of many martial arts, is credited with instilling would-be bullies with respect and high self-esteem while giving would-be bullied children the know-how to stand up to anyone who might give them a tough time.
