Viking? What are you talking about? I never said MMA breeds killers… But did you hear what that coach was yelling to motivate his kids? “MAKE HIM PAY FOR MESSING UP YOUR HAIR” or somthing to that effect… I want MMA for kids, better regulated MMA for kids… as for this video…. It is disgusting, irrespinsible and outragous… whatever that means? it means i dont want my kids getting kicked in the throat by some kid how cant control his body.

sorry about the post above. I think this is horrible, grapple until your at least in High school. If you have to fight wear headgear and heavy gloves.

this video is one more reason for anti-mma spokepersons to bully the sport.. i wouldnt mind training mma if i were a 6 yrs old kid but to spar without headgears and other protective gears is just…. well im a hardcore mma fan but for this to happen .. u must have better judgment than that

Someone above me said this but I didn’t want to look through again to see who, but all I know is that at 13 14 and under if I was taught this I would definitely use it at recess. Whether it was to show off or something.

I don’t have an issue with kids training Martial Arts (or Mixed Martial Arts). however those kids aint wearing head gear; and those are 4oz gloves. Not very responsible.

This breeds violence and I am a hard core fan of MMA. Too young the parents need there heads examined!

I don’t think I would like my kid to get beat on.
I think that there are laws that protect
children from child abuse and in this circumstance
it seems that abusive parents have simply passed the buck. I am an mma student myself and we are smart enough to know that training like this could only lead to injury or death. The parents of these children should take hard look at themselves and realize the abuse there child is going threw. They
may not learn what they have done until one of the kids get old enough to kick one of there asses or gets seriously injured.

Well, as my son says, “Parents condone football where even if a team is getting slaughtered they can’t quit until time has expired.”

Marc Buoniconti, son of HOF Linebacker Nick, was paralyzed; a 1985 spinal cord injury left him unable to move a muscle below his neck. Oh, doesn’t football generate revenue for universities? Is a sport that has the potential to render a participant a quadriplegic not violent?

Legislative involvement was mentioned. I say, how many of the student athletes in accepted sports are illiterate by my standards? I think legislators should be worrying about athletic academic achievement before MMA for children comes under scrutiny.

This is still a free country the last time I checked; let people swing all they want as long as they don’t hit you in the nose.

And maybe, just maybe, one of these MMA children will save a loved one’s life some day.
