It's not impossible that you get bullies in a martial arts class, but unless they're the instructor there is normally someone better than them that will spot it

It's not impossible that you get bullies in a martial arts class, but unless they're the instructor there is normally someone better than them that will spot it and put a stop to it (in my experience anyway).
- WarOnPrivacy 6y agoConscientious instructors certainly stop in-class mistreatment of other students. However instructors don't know the full measure of a student's heart; nor do they hear most chatter among students. In my experience, it's not at all uncommon for bullies to use martial arts classes to prepare them for positions of authority - particularly law enforcement. To be clear, this doesn't throw the least bit of shade on martial arts nor does it implicate instructors in any way. It's just an unfortunate reality. Also, I really believe the better opportunities to address bullies are before and after this point.
