not a repost, but I saw it on another forum. I wouldn't want my child to become a professional fighter, but I don't mind if they train MMA.

saw some news special that some high schools offer MMA as a gym class. a lot parents protested and stuff.
would you want ur kid in these classes though. i mean there might be such a thing as too young?
but then again if they teach discipline, it might not be a bad thing ya know?

Pretty admirable tho I have to say. They seem very passionate. I like how the fathers goal is actually olympic style wrestling. THis will ensure the kids stay with school and move up to college wrestling.Smart.

Yes I would want my kids in those classes. It teaches discipline and is a form of physical activity. Those parents that protested don't know anything about MMA. It's not like they are going to fight, it's just a class.

Highschool is absolutely not too young. I'd want bigger gloves on them but the technique, et al is the same.

Kids get into Karate at like 3yo so what's the big deal?

We put my kid into Karate for summer program last year (just before he turned 4) but he got tired of it. I think it was too much because he was in swimming lessons as well.
