The former champion continues: “If you try to suppress that entirely and put people in a bubble society, that's when everyone goes crazy and shoots people in theaters. If all these people had an outlet, I think we would have a much healthier society. It's not violence just for violence's sake. The word ‘art’ of martial arts is there for a reason,” she added.
