It isn't like the jocks that used to beat you up in high school; Klingons are predatory in genetics, not just traditions. Case in point: in the TNG episodes "Birthright" (parts 1 and 2), Worf finds a camp of Klingons who had been taken prisoner and not killed in battle (25 years before) as everyone thought. Because of honor and all that stuff, they even told their children that they had moved to this isolated place to escape the war. The youngins were thusly unfamiliar with Klingon traditions, weapons, etc. In these episodes, Worf teaches them and eventually takes one young man on a hunting trip, which awakens in him the need to hunt, the ability to smell out prey, and the rush that comes from battle, albeit a hunt and not a war. From this, we see that the Klingons as a race are predators; it has nothing to do with their levels of intelligence. While the Klingons are, by nature, warriors, they are not necessarily stupid.
