I think most problems start once kids get over about 8 or 9.
A small % realise there is a social structure and try and place themselves at the top of it via force.

As and when / if we have kids I think its about this age my kids will start Wing Chun.

I'm also telling me lad not to let people hit him and if they do, hit them back. He knows that hitting people is wrong though, that's the important aspect. Plus he doesn't like people in his personal space, it upsets him so he might be taken as a bit of a push over at school. I'd rather he wasn't.

Completely agree maybe not MMA prob a poor example but any that are more focused to defence rather than attacking..

So... What would be peoples reactions in this situation?
Hysteria, my instant reaction is a giggle at this, although its a gross misconduct committed by the thief kid. I bet he is fat, and looks like a bully. I wish for the greedy microshoitster to starve for at least 24 hours as a serious punishment.

Right heres what you do.. Day 1: Tell your child not to eat sandwhich X and put mustard in it
Day 2 three sandwhiches. Mustard again in bag X dog **** in sandwhich Y and £5.00 in sandwhich A. - the kid won't fall for a second mustard burn so will want the other sandwhich (Y) .. Then as your child was good at fooling the tweat they get £5 to blow on any sweets they want...

If it continues then nails

Well, if this continues, at least his name will be appropriate.

Hate it when people use the term cage fighting its MMA (mixed martial arts) it is also about self defence too. Just because you seen one video don't judge the rest of it.

Which can cover karate, BJJ, kickboxing, boxing, wresting and many more.


Please get educated before branding everyone stupid.

I am educated. I've got karate belts myself.

The atmosphere of beer swilling adults, encouraging kids to batter each other versus a decent martial arts contest are world's apart.

You are the one taking it to mean all MMA events not me. The specific (note that word) example mentioned was cage fighting, that's the only description when everyone there behaved like animals.

This is the sort of view that has stopped the sport of MMA being properly regulated in this country. In respect to the child fight you were talking about, you have basically taken the view of the media, who are less than educated on the matter. Congrats on your karate belts, I am sure they will stand you in good stead should you ever wish to defend yourself.

And the other thing, the media says cage fight. It wasn't a cage fight or mma. It was a grappling match, hence the reason the kids for no gloves or head guards and there was no strikes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4rTB...ayer_embedded#!

the video is above for those people who believe the uneducated media.

. But then this happens every week in judo, ikedo and wrestling matches. If you wanna get really into it explain to me why every week hundreds of schoolboy boxing matches take place without anyone batting an eye. And the facts prove that there are more head/brain injuries with boxing than mma. Rant over. I'm sick to death of people slating a sport they no nothing about and do not train in.
