BigMike619 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/ULTIMATE_FIGHTING_KIDS?SITE=MOSTP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT CARTHAGE, Mo. (AP) -- Ultimate fighting was once the sole domain of burly men who beat each other bloody in anything-goes brawls on pay-per-view TV. But the sport often derided as "human ****fighting" is branching out. The bare-knuckle fights are now attracting competitors as young as 6 whose parents treat the sport as casually as wrestling, Little League or soccer. ________________________________________ I personally think this is a good idea. Good for the kid to get exercise and learn to defend himself as well. My old boss was Northern Irish and he told me that in JR High School they take the boys and put them in a boxing class for gym.

Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Sweet, I'm going to corral a slew of midgets and put them up against some of these kids. Then I'll start taking bets. I'll be unstoppable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be unstoppable! When i was 12, i could beat the **** out of most midgets, and that was just with a wrestling background. If i knew jiu-jitsu, it would have been a midget bloodbath.

If you know your kid can put you in a kimora or rear naked choke you are gonna think twice before getting loaded and teeing off on little Johnny. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked. After my first year, one of them grabbed me and i threw him to the ground and pulled his shoulder out of the socket. They stopped after that.

Special K Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 My boyfriend's stepdad used to tie boxing gloves onto him and his stepbrothers and have them go at it in the backyard. Like PleaseBlitz, it's one of the main reasons he became so heavily involved in wrestling and MMA fighting. I don't condone children fighting and I told him I won't be letting our kids fight in the backyard, but I do see how growing up like that effected him and made him a strong son of a gun.

#98QBKiller Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 They've had kids MMA classes for a long time and they've had kids Jiu Jitsu tournaments for a long time too. Personally I think it's a good thing. It's a good sport for kids and teaches them confidence and discipline. Plus they wear a lot more protective gear and rash guards so it's all good. Just wait until these kids are in their 20s and are competing for the big promotions, they are going to take MMA to a new level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wait until these kids are in their 20s and are competing for the big promotions, they are going to take MMA to a new level. I think its a very good thing. Individual sports teach a lot of things that, by and large, young kids are missing these days. Plus it gets them out from in front of ****ing MySpace and Xbox all day long.

Sebowski Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 This is a great idea as long as they stress the sport of it versus street fighting. I'd say I wish they had this when I was a kid, but my parents would have never let me do it anyway. Imagine how good that generation of fighters are going to be when they are the pros? Most of the guys fighting right now didn't get a chance to really train until they were young adults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
