What's the answer to the outbreak of violence?

After the latest school massacre in the USA in December 2012 American teachers are booking courses how to use firearms. Since this last deadly shooting at a US school there is a very controversy discussion about what to do to avoid similar shootings and killings in the future.

While the American president wants to introduce tougher rules to possess a gun, the weapon lobby arguments with some teachers, those they rather book a course, learn to use a firearm in the hope they can save children’s and their own life in an event like the Newtown massacre.

Some teacher in the US even say, they will wear a gun in the future, although illegal and risking the job, but to protect themselves and the children. Courses to learn the gun handling were fully booked after the shooting and it seems people only can see one solution to this problem.

But how wrong they all are!

According to the FBI annual crime statistics, the number of murders committed annually with hammers and clubs far outnumbers the number of murders committed with a rifle. Read the full story on FOX NATION.

But what does it mean for us here in the UK where guns are not around everywhere as in the USA?

According to an article from the 25th of January in the MAIL ONLINE, 40 primary school pupils are expelled every day for attacks on staff, shocking  figures revealed yesterday. The violence is so endemic that exclusions for assaulting teachers are now more common in primaries than in  secondary schools.

If you worried as a teacher, come and join a Jiu-Jitsu club and learn the art of self defense. This could be one answer.


Picture above: Master Horst Lindenau teaches children the art of Jiu-Jitsu at the BAE headquarters in the studio of self defense (SDS Wilhelmshaven) in Germany 1989.

Master Horst: "Those children, they have been in contact with the martial arts and especially Jiu-Jitsu are much less likely involved in any aggressive or violent behaviour." This could be answer two.
