Fighting Mynahs

While visiting Honolulu recently, I observed what appeared to be a family of mynahs engaged in martial arts practice. The juveniles appeared somewhat unwilling to engage, but the adults forced it. Afterwards, they gathered in a rough circle and performed symbolic pecks at the grass. Anybody ever witness anything similar?
