The guy running the program makes the kids bring in their report cards. The only mixed emotion I have with kids mma is this, kids are kids (not adults) and they tend to act irrationally/emotionally at times. Now they act irrationally/emotionally with serious training and skill sets..
I have two things to say about this: 1. When it comes to kids, generally speaking, teaching them a martial art actually reduces conflict. It's the same way that teaching your kids firearm safety reduces gun accidents. Kids will be kids and kids will fight. But when a kid knows how to fight, they realize that they can seriously hurt someone and that's not to be taken lightly. So it seems that kids are more confident because they know HOW. The confidence is a deterrent to bullies. And the kids avoid fights because they know they can really hurt someone so they only use it when necessary. 2nd, make sure the parents aren't the type to look for trouble and the kid won't be either.

LOL. Nah, anti bullying methods combined with martial arts isn't a Gracie exclusive. They'd get laughed out of court.
