I think kids should be taught how to fight fairly and honorably

This would eliminate having to kill over being offended. They could just "take it outside" until problem resolved. The last one standing helps the other one up and all is well. People have gotten too civilized for their own good.

agreed then kids may learn to better stand up for themselves instead of always looking to others for support

Except if one guy is flat out bigger than the other guy, then you need an equalizer.

I was a student of Tae Kwon Do for fourteen years and when my kids were old
enough I took them to class with me. TKD teaches discipline and fairness as
well as fighting technique. They're in their mid-20's now and I've never
had a problem with them. When we moved from Arlington to Fairfax as
usual one of the neighborhood kids tried playing "bully" with my son but
it didn't work. He shoved him and wound up on the ground wondering what
happened. My son hadn't punched or kicked him but used a floor sweep maneuver
and nobody was hurt. They were good friends all through high school.

Sounds like a great idea. It's a game of honor and diplomacy.

Fighting is for poor people with little education. Educated individuals know nothing is solved.
I got into a lot of fights in high school. Here's what happens. You get the shit kicked out of you for the enjoyment of others. My friends would say I won and his friends would say he won.
It's easy to break a jaw or do permanent physical damage to a person. If that happens then be ready for assault charges and a lawsuit for medical bills that will cost you upwards of $50,000. Your insurance company may also drop you or severely raise your rates.
Fighting is just pure stupidity.

Oh and good luck getting any decent job when your employer runs you record and sees you have assault charges. Enjoy riding on the trash truck and picking up my crap.

1). TKD is a huge waste of time. It's a great "activity" for your kids, or great for an hour or so of babysitting. Otherwise, I'll take the wiry kid with a chip on his shoulder over the Korean 4th degree black belt.
2). Fighting truly solves nothing. While it's great to have Slater and Screech duke it out in the gym boxing ring on tv, real life isn't like that. A "fair fight" only exists in fantasy land. You've obviously never been in a fight if you believe in "fair" fighting.
3). There should be nothing "fair" about fighting anyway. Someone is trying to hurt you. If someone's about to choke me out should I think, "Oh, it wouldn't be fair to grab his nuts and twist until he's writhing on the floor an I'm able to kick him repeatedly until he's incapacitated"? Fuck no. My goal is to make it home that day. If that involves eye gouging, biting and violent kicks to the sack, I guess that makes me an unfair, girly fighter...who survived. You might not with all your "honor" and "fairness". It's a fucking head-for-an-eye.
4). Kids should learn as soon as possible that using violence is an absolute last ditch effort to resolve a situation. While you may want to punch the guy who cut you off or the one who gave you think stink eye, you're an asshole if you actually act on that primal instinct and deserve to get your ass handed to you.
If you're going to partake in a physical altercation you should do so with every understanding that your opponent means to hurt you. Badly. No punch in the mouth and "still want some?", but put your ass in the hospital shit.
Like teaching them to not point a gun unless you're willing to use it, you should not raise your fists in anger unless you're willing to accept the responsibility that may come with it

Being the smaller opponent means nothing. In the absence of superior technique, it's aggression that wins fights. Hit first and hit hardest until opponent is no longer a threat. The only rule is, I win.

Christ some people don't know the first thing about fighting.
Just be the first to kick in the balls. You'll drop your opponent in seconds.

It's rather obvious you're not familiar with the martial arts. Try doing
some homework and get back to us.

I pay a lot of money to live in an area with a school system that doesnt have thugs in attendance. You want your kid to be tough go to a DC school or one of those shit schools in Alexandria.
