That's the dumbest idea ever. Say this was your kid and the school decided to "let the boys beat the crap out of each other" - your son gets rekt continuously and ends up with brain damage or a pierced lung.
It worked for a long, long time.
And I'm not sure all the martial arts training is really necessary. Just get some gloves and head gear and have him spar with his buddies. In most cases a willingness to fight will shut down a bully. Win or lose, we'll do it today, we'll do it tomorrow, and on and on. frick with somebody else.

This. I am a BJJ instructor and we actually have a bully proof class for our kids. There is nothing our kids get more excited about than having the confidence to stand up to a bully. Not that we are proponents for aggressive behavior but when our kids develop the confidence in BJJ training to handle bullies, it also gives them confidence to stand up to life's other challenges. Plus, bullies tend to pick on kids with little to no confidence in themselves and our kids are not going to be easy targets or pushovers.

Why are the parents demanding the school do something about it? They are the parents, its their kids. They need to fix this, not the school.
Explain to the child that not everyone will like him, but that's OK. Let the kid know that he doesn't have to like or be liked by everyone. Teach junior how to defend himself. Preferably without shooting up the whole school. And tell him you love him and he'll survive this like generations before him have in the past. quit leaving it to the school to solve the problem

You'd be better off if you got your kid out of Karate and into Jiu Jitsu or Judo. Those would be more use to his self defense than karate.

AS a girl I used to get picked on at school because I had to wear corrective shoes. My Dad told me to kick their arse. Next time it happened, I kicked their arse. Guess what? No more bullying.
Bullies are cowards.

The bully is probably getting beat physically/mentally at home or lacking some other parental guidance. This is where peer guidance can come in. Surely if this bully is being bad to 1 kid, there are more. So get all the kids together that get bullied on and have them agree to get together and jump the bully. Beat the living shite out of him and I bet the bullying stops. The only problem is that all of the kids really need to stick together on this and not bail at the last min when the shite goes down.
I've also heard phone books don't leave bruises so they can all use that to beat his arse with, so no evidence from bruising. haha

Real talk: bullying today is not like when we were kids Used to be able to get away from it and recharge with family. People move on Now it’s 24/7 with social media and bullied kids can become high school memes No escape
95% of the posters here seem to think bullying is mostly about physical abuse. A lot of it is the constant mental tormenting of a child which like you have said no goes on 24/7 due to social media, suicides among early teenagers related to this is increasing at a alarming rate.

Besides the fact that a child is getting bullied, this is the worst part of the whole thing. It makes it 10 times worse. These Facebook parents are so fricking overdramatic, and act like this hasn't been going on forever

That will be a point of pride as he gets older. I'd rather be an outlier than somebody who peaked in high school.

Even if it's just a single kid who decides to defend himself my experience is that bullies will stop bullying that child and go find a different target if they know he's willing to scrap.
If the parents and school administration aren't going to do anything to resolve the issue, then I definitely would be teaching my child how to defend themselves and make sure they know they have my full support and won't be in trouble if they defend themselves.

Probably both. Most kids are at some point.

For the parent of a bully to know and not do anything, it’s not surprising the kid is a pos like the parent.
Stick with your friends in a group and you’ll be fine.

If martial arts, Aikido is the best option.
Being bullied, then tell him to grab a folding chair and knock the kid out when he is not looking. Life is not fair, self defense is about taking out an enemy so he can’t hurt you. Bully will learn a hard lesson. Kid will be suspended, but people will leave him alone and he will have less anxiety.

As was said earlier, people who fight back will get into major trouble with the school depending on if they win or not. Whoever wins gets in the most trouble, and the other one gets a slap on the wrist

Complaining about a problem without presenting a solution is whining.
It's a shitty situation for the kid, but the Father has to come up with a solution, not rely on the school to do so.
