Pioneer Hawaii MMA promoter, Tjay Thompson, has embarked on a mission to promote awareness and prevention of bullying in Hawaii’s schools. Recently the legendary promoter and local UFC superstar Chris Leben visited Kaiser High School to talk to the young adults about how the impact of bullying. In recent studies in Hawaii schools, the grade averages are higher when the fight percentage is lower. This eye opening statistic should bring a little more light on the ability to positively impact our youth.

Thompson and Leben no doubt made a serious impact with the students considering the nature of their professions. While Thompson promotes fights in the ring or the cage, he never promotes the use of violence outside of it.  And though Chris may fight for a living, he only does it inside the confines of the octagon. The time spent with the students will definitely make the positive impact that is definitely appreciated. So a big salute from the MMA Hawaii family to Thompson and Leben for helping shed light on this preventable problem affecting our community.
