Once upon a time, somewhere in South Florida, I went to a middle school that had both a wrestling program and a small boxing program. There was plenty of youthful aggression going on, and being that it was the 1980s, there was much less adult concern over it than there would be now. If you walked or biked to school, defending yourself was your responsibility.
