Nowadays many schools and organisations organise martial arts trainings, such as, Tae KwangDo, Judo, and etc. The children of their parents also encourage them to learn martial arts so as to defend themselves in case if someone would attack them.
Thus, fighting in the form of defensive role is acceptable in schools, organisations and public.
We, moderate muslims, fight only if non-muslims fight with us. If they don't start to fight, we don't fight.
