Hermosa, I think the problem is general, not specific to those who practise martial arts. The behaviour you described is very common among young males. That's all.
Instinct takes over, and they need to prove to themselves and others that they are strong males. I see this everyday. A guy or a few guys walking down the street or into a room, chins high, scanning the area to see if there are any other strong males. If there are, they must be put into place. If there are none, maybe they make an example and bully a weak one.
When I was younger I was affected by that game, now I think it's the silliest thing on this earth.
Most ppl start doing sports (and martial arts) at a young age (14-19 or something), when this behaviour, or social game or whatever you want to call it, is still in effect so to speak. So I say it's not the martial art, it's an age/maturity issue.
