#2 has a bully at school that has been harrassing him. We give him kudos in that he has not used his martial arts to take the kid down, but he doesn't understand that it is ok to use it to defend himself. He learned those blocks for a reason!
This kid is close to a foot taller than #2, and outweighs him by a good 30 pounds. While I don't condone him starting a fight, Hubby and I have repeatedly told him that it is ok to defend himself. He won't do this as he is afraid it will make this kid harrass him even more.
Hubby and I will be talking with the school to ensure that steps are taken to hopefully make this never happen again. If that doesn't work, perhaps I will get an air horn for him.
