There is no direct answer to solving the problem of bullying as it becomes rampant among schools. Though there are various programs and organizations that try to deal with this, it is still a widespread problem that is yet to be dealt with on a global scale.

The Gracie Jiu-jitsu program has taught many professional fighters, military personnel, and law enforcement agencies the best ways to subdue your opponent in live combat. But they are not limited to teaching just adults. Gracie Jiu-jitsu, Rener Gracie in particular, is known for the bullyproof program. This program teaches kids how to defend themselves in all sorts of situations. This also instills the confidence they need to live the rest of their school lives without the fear of getting bullied.
