I was reading a magazine and I came across this article and I wanted to post it before I go.
This is, for the most part, from a book by Larry Koenig Ph.D.
Smart Discipline: Fast, Lasting Solutions for your ChildÂ’s Self-Esteem and Your Peace of Mind
The true power behind Martial Arts like Karate and Kung fu comes not from a roundhouse kick to the solar plexus (however handy) but rather from the philosophies of non-aggression. “They teach respect,” says Koenig. “Research shows that, in so doing, martial arts improves a child’s self-esteem and the way he carries himself – two weaknesses a bully homes in on when selecting a target” In fact, a Florida Atlantic University study of 189 children from ages 7 to 13 found that those with high self-esteem were less likely to get picked on then there less confident peers.
