Cage fighting for kids

Post by mantra » Tue Sep 27, 2011 12:55 pm

There seems to be a lot of controversy surrounding this sport and many people seem to find it exploitative and bloodthirsty with the Britsh Medical Association condemning it as dangerous. Little boys need to be able to work out their aggression and what a great way to do it.

Parents are being encouraged today to wrap their kids in cotton wool. What sort of men will they become when they're not free to test their strength against their peers?

It seems like a great sport for little boys - more like a supervised wrestling match and kids love wrestling.

I don't know whether you have any boys Rainbow, but typical boys love wrestling. Unfortunately too much of it goes on unsupervised and out of sight where the real damage can get done. One child loses his temper and the next minute - pain is inflicted where it shouldn't be and there's no-one around to say that it's time for a break.

I don't think this activity should be exploited by selling tickets for entertainment, but it could easily be promoted as a recognised sport for children - like karate or taekwondo. It's fun and cathartic as well as being good physical exercise.

Rather a supervised fight using protective clothing than a child having to suppress their energy and emotions while growing up - then later on using a knife or a gun to take out their frustrations.

I agree, I am not for the entertainment thing, but my kids do ju jitsu and learn to wrestle and grapple in a controlled enviroment. I see this as simmilar.

Ps I wish I could teach my boy to clean our chimney. it would save me a fortune!!!

Firecracker night should be brought back--a right of passage for boys.

And only a very few boys lost a finger or eye.

Great suggestion Monk. I have fond memories of blowing up ant nests, flaming bees and blowing up things. You learn respect for the power of fire and explosives. Only a few loose their fingers. I had a mate who lost his thumb and finger by holding onto a cracker as a dare. He admits it was the silliest thing he had ever done but learned from the experience. All his mates learned as well. We used to drive the Can'tberra to buy them very few years when the ban in NSW come in.

Amazing.....Again, worth preserving. WTF can't you make a post without gibber, given the spelling and grammar checks so readily available?

Get thee to the "Congrats AiA Thread." Question there for you to answer.

Aussie,

I will gibber all I want. If others outside your tribe complain, I will then take notice.

So... continue to bring to the boards attention my inability to be as articulate as you think you are. This will be my last response to you pointing this out again and again.

Unfortunately these poor skills have served me well in my life. Clearly I am not as sucessful as you. Being a reknown lawyer who is so sucessful you ended up owning and driving a cab for a living. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Exploiting poor people desparate to feed their families is a noble right wing attribute. Well done.

I too hope to climb to your dissy heights in career and ability to post perfect grammar on a website that no-one reads. One day Aussie I will make it..... maybe.

BTW... I did respond to the other thread before I read this. Troll away. No wonder Lisa thought her behaviour was appropriate with you as her mentor. :f

So once again this thread has been populated with shit. The thread was civil until your post Aussie.

My appologies to the forum. I shall refain from posting relatiations to AUssie and Lisa when they arrive in threads that are working well to minimise the destruction Aussie and Lisa have on the forum. :h
