Mixed Winnipeg Martial Arts is the fastest growing sport in United states today. It's on TELEVISION, it's on peoples clothes, it's on the game consoles and the action figures are in the toy section at the department store.

Now once the topic of Children doing MMA pops up, it's only natural that numerous people cringe a little, and rightly so. The thing most people know of this sport is the very top amount of professional athletes and the rules used at that level, which can be definitely not something children ought to be doing.

But you, almost all people trained in MMA should never be going to fight in a professional match. The majority of adults that are entering competitions will never compete under those rules. Like other martial arts that involve striking there exists a wide range of rule sets from amateur up to professional.

What exactly is "safe" for young ones to do in the fighting techinques has been well established over a long time. Young ones doing Martial Arts Winnipeg don't do something that was not getting done in Karate, Judo and Wrestling classes for years. Actually they often do less of the riskier aspects. They do not kick to the head and they do not get extra points for high impact throws and takedowns.

Most of the bad reputation MMA gets is just a not enough experience with it, particularly at amateur levels and with what actually happens in class. MMA classes are fun, they are safe, and they're a very intense work out. The past thing any fitness center owner wants is injuries, and after more then ten years of teaching I have yet to see a child with anything close to a critical injury.

Drawn in the same context consider our national sport. Players skate around on ice with blades on the feet slamming each other into each other, the boards, swinging sticks around and engaging in bare knuckle fist fights in virtually every game. If all you knew of hockey was seeing a few professional games, you might easily come away with a very negative perception, and cringe quite hard at the considered children playing the game. But just about everyone has played the game at a amateur level in some form, even when it absolutely was just through gym class in school. We realize that what happens on t.v. is not just like what goes on in a game played by 8-year olds.

But aren't we just teaching children to hurt each other?

Absolutely not. We are teaching them the actual opposite, just how to perhaps not hurt one another, and how to keep themselves from getting hurt.

Young ones learning MMA are training with friends, under close supervision. Safety and self-control are always top priorities. Deliberately causing injury is not tolerated in training and competition. Athletes aren't only accountable for their own, but also their opponents safety. They're necessary to remain calm and act intelligently all the time. Anger and attempts to hurt others do not cause victory in this sport, they result in defeat. As an alternative athletes must develop the ability to remain calm under great pressure, to be patient also to act intelligently and strategically also to show good sportsmanship in victory and defeat.

Because they progress they learn leadership skills, helping younger and less experienced children with techniques and strategy. Young kids helping the others beat them in training is a amazing thing to see, and a great show of humility and respect. Yet every child that trains will do it because they gain experience. They will learn to value helping new students and younger students succeed is more valuable then "easy wins".

To top it all off Martial Arts demands a really high standard of physical fitness. Every muscle can be used, out of every position and in every direction possible. The work-out is intense and in a time of declining physical fitness being involved in fitness program is important for healthier living.
