Teaching Martial Art + Ethics would be very good
The Yang/Yang in US public school = less crime, less family problems.

Self Defense would be a wonderful course to take, but as a requirement - no.
They can hep teach confidence through Music, Drama, Speech, Sports etc. Each child can and will excel in through their God given talent.

No. I acquired a black belt at the age of 15. I went after school and I can't see why a public school should offer it.
Also, the first time a martial art student whipped some non-martial art student, the lawsuits would fly.

there are many good martial arts schools who teach self defense and self control. these also do help instill and prevent what you suggest. although there also needs to be philosophy and reasoning studied along with these as there is much to be learned by studying a different Culture and Society.

yes it does! I went to a private school like that! The students had respect for the teachers and discipline across the board! I hope that other schools can adopt that!

Considering that most schools have removed physical education, which is part of why so many young today are obese, I think martial arts as both a physical and mental discipline is a very good idea.

the coaches would need to be very good to make sure the self-defense techniques aren't being used for bullying..

I think it would be great to have that as an alternative to P.E or athletics.
