Given that these activities customarily contain few moral/philosophical teachings regarding conduct, this supports a tentative conclusion that traditional martial arts (which do typically offer moral/philosophical teachings) are superior to modern martial arts or combat sport training in reducing antisocial behaviour in children and adolescents.

The 2005 Olweus, Endresen study, it can't be used to draw that conclusion. Martial arts students were not as antisocial as boxers or weightlifters, but they were still more agressive than kids that did neither. Nor could this be adequately explained as a selection effect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.1.73.1 (talk) 08:55, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
