Respect, Discipline, and Humility
Most educated people associate karate with discipline. This is because of the format in which the classes are taught. In karate there is a ranking system which lets people know where they stand. Karate doesn't have to be militaristic to the point it was originally intended (after all it is a martial art developed to defend ones' life) but these values are instilled. Generally a person who enters a karate class will see that people will bow to each other, call the instructor Sensei (teacher) and conform to the rules and guidelines set forth by the club. This makes a person feel rather awkward themselves if they don't conform to their surroundings.
If there is a problem child or an adult with an overbearing demeanor they will be dealt with on a personal level . Most difficult people can be taught humility simply by being in an evironment where it is prominent.
