Full-contact martial arts should be left to the older teens & adults.

A while back I wrote an article regarding the ugly and downright appalling issue of children as young as four being pushed into full-contact martial arts/kick boxing events by their parents. My cousin Marty, a qualified Black Belt karate instructor in Australia, was horrified when he read about this dangerous and offensive activity.

The feeling is obviously mutual throughout the world of legitimate martial arts – read what Mike Massie has to say about the issue.

Here is my original post: http://www.culturedviews.com/monster-parents-who-practice-child-baiting/2008/04/20/view.htm

Maybe putting the parents into the ring instead and getting them to bang their heads together might shift their off-balance brains into thinking more sensibly…
