Martial Arts have been around from a long time. This sport has many different types from Karate, Judo, Kung Fu, to Grapping. One can go to almost any big city and find tournaments so that they or their child can participate in. Now combine all this different martial arts and you have MMA. A sport where blood is the satisfaction not executing a play and K.O. or submission is the trophy and serves as bragging rights.
IN youth there are many different ways to engage into sport. I believe MMA is a wrong sport for a child because of how violent the sport is. One is taking a child and telling him to bully and kick the other child until he/she can’t any longer or until the child gives up. What happens when the child gets into a fight in a non-controlled environment and seriously hurts someone or themselves? Don’t get me wrong I believe every child has to know how to defend themselves but what are we really teaching the children in MMA besides fighting is OK and good. Fighting should only be used when needed not for sport. In this video the youngest contender was 4 year old, one shot to the head and this kid has a life of people feeding him or to the extreme he goes to sleep and never wakes up due to head trauma. The kid that won this tourney had so much rage during the fight that the referee has to pull the winner off the loser. http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?title=youth-mma-finals-to-determine-nations-most-vicious-child-fighters&videoId=372898. I know this is from comedy central website but this is a real tourney.
