Let them go, I never won a fight till I was almost out of high school. The worst was one I was 'almost' going to win till my mom broke it up (in this case the kid whose mom breaks it up is the automatic loser no matter what ) then in front of 10 other kids offered to sew the kids jacket back together!!!!!!!!!!!!! Needless to say I could not look anyone in the eye at school for weeks 'mommas boy' was a little embarassed! Dad the PO finially told me I could start defending myself as I looked like I was on the bad end of a Tyson fight about one meeting a month. My advice is let them fight at school, probably no weapons and it will not get to far. The ones to watch are the set time in the back alley fights tell him never to go one of these most times turn out bad.

Not to turn this is in to how to fight, but I agree with the poster above, if you are going to do it save the talking smack and pushing to the the little kids. If you in a sitution you have to fight be the agressor, always go for the nose, privates or kidneys first then stay on top of them.

Any parent that teaches their kids not to fight needs to be punched in the eye.
Parents are such idiots.
The only reason I didnt stick up for myself when I was a kid was because I was afraid of my parents. When I finally did stick up for myself I had no idea how to control my power. Im lucky I didnt go to prison. It was $5000 and four dental implants for the loser.
Kids, Fight all you want. Its better for them to get it out of their systems while they are young anyway before they can actually hurt each other.
Parents are so stupid. If you are a parent, chances are you are a moron and give bad advice to your kids daily. GOD I RULE SO HARD>

As a female and a JW I was taught to avoid fights, but I was a little hot tempered and I didn't take insults to well so I did on occasion have some fights with other girls. I got beat a couple of times, nothing bad as I always fought hard and never let a girl really hurt me. It was stressful though to always be on guard, kids tend to pick on you if they find a weakness. I would let your son's school principle know that another boy recruited the bigger kid to beatup your son, he needs to be punished.

Looking back on life and thinking if I had a son........he would have boxing lessons at a sanctioned gym. Forget the karate lessons. Karate is good for mental and physical discipline but 4 weeks of boxing training will get the young boy better able to handle himself than a year of karate.
Then again........find one of the places....and there are some.......that teach self defense with the motto "anything and everything goes". They teach street fighting tactics that are out of this world. I know.......I saw some of the instruction and you view any physical aggression as a threat on your life. And you take action accordingly.

Get him into a karate or self defense class.
Not so he can pick fights, but to give him self confidence.
It's like the others here are saying. If you have confidence in yourself, and it shows, most bullies will back down. If they don't, then with the lessons learned, (after the bully throws the first punch), he can thrash him....in self defense.
edited to add: I like Happydads suggestion, also

I think its good that this kid can take care of himself. Being raised in the JW religion, I do not stick up for myself, even when I should've. It's not good mentally, I've got many horror stories about not defending myself and getting the shit kicked out of me. That is, until I grew to be taller then everyone else. And then in HS, it got tons better because I was favoured by the higher social groups.

It is definitely a boy thing.
lol, you didn't know me then, Franklin! I was taught to turn the other cheek too, but after getting my lily white a** kicked roundly until the 5th grade I wised up and learned to fight, and fight well. By the end of 6th grade, no one picked on me any more...
