If you’re competent at fighting, that actually decreases the probability that you’ll ever have to fight. When you’re confident in your ability to fight and someone pushes you, you’ll be able to respond with confidence. And with any luck, and this is certainly the case with bullies, any reasonable show of confidence – which is very much equivalent to a show of dominance, is going to be enough to make the bully back off. The strength you develop in your competence at violence is actually the best guarantee of peace – Jordan Peterson
Knowing how to defend yourself doesn’t create bullies. Learning to box creates kids that will never feel the need, through lack of their own confidence, that they need to bully. They’ll also be more likely to stand up for those being bullied
