No. But that's not to say that boys don't learn violent behavior in martial arts studios, because they do. I think we all remember seeing the Karate Kid a lot years ago. There was obviously a bad scene with a Sensei at that studio which was promoting aggressive behavior of the students. So, it does happen, but I don't believe that it promotes it. In fact, martial arts really helps to center your mind and center yourself so that once the kids are taught this, they have much better control. They do utilize it, and let the bully throw the first punch before they defend themselves. You throw the first punch; you started the fight. So there are a lot of things that are taught but I would not agree that it promotes violence.
