Leader of the Tristar gym in Montreal, Firas Zahabi, feels that the MMA culture could borrow some of the respectful aspects of traditional martial arts:
In MMA, the culture, it needs more respect. Because you're taking these young kids and you're making them killers; you're making them tough, you're making them strong, so when they go out in society, they're tough and the become bullies. Martial arts, for me anyways, is to fight the bullies, it's to stop the bullying, it's to teach the younger kids to defend themselves against the bullies; not to become the bullies.
