I am so going to get into this, I think I can take them!
Allen...don't you want to ease into it first? Start with something a little less lethal...lol :LOL:
lol.youlle be the big bull ,huh.i can hear ya now ,im gonna kick that little ****s ass,that gave me the finger on the street lastnight.or if you can get some customers from it ,tellem ill kick the **** out of your son if you dont pay me in time.too funny.get em boy.
I'm a fat fack... And I think I could take em.
wow. What ever happened to pop Warner or baseball? I don't know about the rest of you guys, But personally I agree with the dragon guy. Hell we might as well just let fights happen in schools, too. Just let the kids **** each other up. I think this is on the same level as seeing an after school fight between 2 kids and just watching it. I could never sit there and watch My kid get hurt, or hurt another kid like that. Let alone cheer?
Recap on society. Parents don't want corporal punishment in school, But its cool if there kids beat on each other. Parents suck nowadays. And honestly, WTF is a 10 year old going to use MMA for in life? Other than to hurt or kill another person? Give your ****ing kids something they can learn to be productive in life! This is BS.
i dont think this is any worse than karate for kids or mighty might football. I would let my kid do it.
Except the fact that in Karate, you cant get on top of another person and beat the living $hit out of them. Or football either. If your kid got his arm broken in an arm bar, would you let him keep fighting? What if he gets hits so many times in the head he gets brain damage, or need surgery to fix the damage. MMA isn't a kids sport. Permanent damage is ALWAYS a main part of MMA. Look at any of the top MMA fighters. Look at their ears. That puffy red cauliflower **** isn't natural. Its from taking hits to the ear, and being put in headlocks. Causes problems with the ear filling with blood.Quote:

My opinion is if you like MMA that much, go do it your self, and let your kids be kids.
I dont know about that one, I broke my ankle, chalor bone, and compressed my spine playing football. Plus cauliflower ear can be drained. I bet more children are hurt per capa in football with major injuries. Not say it's not dangerous, or your kids wont get hurt. Kids play and get hurt. I might have a different outlook if I had kids. I want and plan on having them and as of right not if they wanted to train in MMA i would let them.
i agree with you jeff! i showed this video to my son and he was like "whats going on?" "Are those kids?" he couldnt believe it either.Quote:

But he doesnt want too, so i wont pressure him into it.
My son is a dancer (hip hop) not a fighter... :dancenana:
Glorifies violence to our children so when we are old and need them they'll just beat the **** out of us.
Thats part of whats wrong with this world. That and its full of humans. ;)
i think society is changing for the worse and theres nothing we can do about it. i dont care what the experts say- this will bring A LOT more violence into society because its teaching these kids how to be aggressive at an early age. gee, we might as well start bringing our 8 year old daughters to special dance studios and teach them to be strippers, same thing. its teaching an adult behavior to kids that need to be just kids, not MMA fighters...completely ridiculous.http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/c...327/gr_mad.gif
I just signed all my kids up.
Bravo...meat-eaters of the world unite!
All of them under 16, right? :lol:
a dancer.hum.
i do agree with alot of the opinions ,but im with allen ,id put my boys in it.my son has been boxing and wrestling for many years now.hes very disciplined and isnt hot headed ,so he doesnt take it to the street.i think it has alot to do with theyre upbringing also tho.i was a boxer ,wrestler ,and mma fighter myself so i wanted my son to do the things i knew so i could teach him what i knew and succeeded at.plus he could here about the legend ,lol, at his tourneys and fights.i didnt always have the discipline i should of ,but i also wasnt taught diff.were i come from it was part of everyday life to fight in the streets and bars just to be able to walk with your head up when you walk down the street,without getting the **** kicked out of ya.that was then.now they just shoot ya.any way i just want him to be able to defend himsef if needed,because hes naturally a good kid and doesnt look for any trouble.but sometimes trouble finds you tho.i just believe it has alot to do with discipline inside and outside the ring.you dont need to break someones arm or knock theyre teeth out to win.sometimes just a good shot to the chin,lol.when you know youve won its time to stop..god forbid if anything bad happened to him tho yes i would feel guilty.just my 2 cents.
yes a dancer! id rather have dancing hip hop any day of the week than getting himself hurt or beating on someone us.Quote:

To each his own.
My little girl is a tiger cub graduate. She punched her best buddy in the nose after he called her "mother" repeatedly. That was first grade.Quote:

Oh great something else our kids can get into....better yet get in trouble for. The guy claims it's martial arts...that's BS! That's fighting plain and simple. What happened to wholesome sports and why are parents letting their kids do this crap?
In my opinion any parent that would even consider this crap should have there kids taken away. There's a difference between karate that teaches children self discipline than these that are beating the s*** out of each other. My son won't be doing that, 1 because I care to much for him.
Here's one way to look at it.
Let's say someone is into snake handling. His "hobby" involves the risk of being bitten by a poisonous snake and possibly incurring serious injury or even death. That's fine for an adult. His kid might see it and say "Daddy - that looks fun! Can I do it?". I don't think many people would argue that it would be a poor parent that would say "Sure! You might be small and uncoordinated and sustain serious injury or lose an eye, but if you think it looks fun - SURE!"
That's not any different than letting your kid participate in MMA is it? I mean there's a chance he'll never sustain serious injury. But there's a real good chance he will too. One wrong throw and he lands on his neck. One thumb to the eye and he could have permanent eye damage. One misguided hit and he could have serious throat damage.
Agreed - injuries can happen in other contact sports. But the amount of physical abuse that is purposely encouraged and taught in MMA should be left for those mature enough to understand the danger of what they are doing and the possible long term effects.
My two cents.
They should make a movie about it, lol.
Seriously, those kids are only doing that because the parents want them to. Those kids do not realize what they are doing, the consequences it has, or if it's rigth or wrong.
karate is different, mma is just plain kicking ass, which isn't a good thing to teach a child.
Almost all MMA pros have a background in martial arts or wrestling, they realize mma is a sport, even though it requires knocking someone out (so does boxing and it's not looked down on), so yes, it is different than teaching a child.
Now maybe 15+years old or so, that might be alright.
I'd still woop any of those kids in the first round, come on , look how weak they are, their form is all wrong, lots of mistakes.:ma:
Yeah I could have guillotined that one kind like 4 times. :lol:
That's funny, just letting you know, lol.:LOL:Quote:

i for one will never let my kids do anything like that. i do not wantto see them hurt nor do i want to see them puprosely hurt anyone else. that is the difference between mma and martial arts, they teach you how to take care of yourself and how to use it and only as a last resort. mma, as has been stated is basically an organized street fight.
