It certainly can be solved by quality martial arts training, to the degree that it can be solved at all. You may not change bullys' minds, but bring able to casually tap them with two fingers as you pass them in the hall so they collapse puking and gasping for air without a single witness in the crowd to what transpired, will certainly change their behavior. If there's a second encounter, ask them which eye they like best, the right or the left. Psychological song and dance aside, bullys bully others because they can. A bully who can't breathe or is seeing out of one eye, learns there are some they can't.
People may disagree with the comparison, but in many public schools the atmosphere is prison yard lite...if your child were going to prison tomorrow, would you rather they be prepared by the wisdom of Norman Vincent Peale or Wong Fei Hung?
You’ll get your eye put out with this thing...
Very true.
