There are several people that don’t think that these fighters don’t belong in the cage or ring. Mainly because wrestlers lay and pray method and street fighters stand and land method. I have alway supported any fighter who steps into the ring. If a one dementional fighter can find any way to win within the rules of the ring or cage, then hats off to them.

I’m interested in the sport because I’m intrigued by the workouts and the discipline, but the only gyms that are closest to me are like 50 miles away. Is there any videos that ya’ll can recommend?
In my opinion I think its better to start kids in a more traditional martial art to learn the values of respect, honor, integrity and self discipline if they are very young. Bottom line MMA is sport fighting where the main goal is to submit or injure your opponent. I don’t think a child has the capacity to tell when its time to fight and not to fight when in that format the goal is to fight.The traditional martial arts is about not having to fight and having the choice to walk away from a potential fight with pride. I all so think the potential for injury is greater since the goal is to inflict injury or submission. Children don’t have the self control to know the difference. I don’t care how much safety equipment you put on a kid’s hands and head. A lay back arm bar leads to a broken elbow just the same.
