Judo training and aggression: comment on Reynes and Lorant.
The Reynes and Lorant longitudinal study suggests evidence of an increase in aggression in 8-year-old male judo students after one year of traditional judo training. However, several methodological problems make these results difficult to interpret. Nonetheless, the authors make a valuable contribution to the area of the effects of traditional martial arts training and aggression.
