@Jazzamay When your child cries on the first day of school, is making them go child abuse? She was just nervous; that's what kids do when they are nervous.
omg. those kids are terrified! You can't raise them to be afraid!!!!!!!! if you teach them to be violent when theyre under pressure theyre going to be horrible people.
i can understand not making her fight if she dont want to, but my kids are gonna be the same way. they are gonna fight regardless, because there is no way i will allow them to be a victim of anything ever,
Its either people bitching about parents letting their kids get fat, or people bitching about their kids working too hard at some thing. If your kid wants to fight and stay in shape that's great, that's healthy. Just teach him to fight people in the ring, fight people that are worth fighting. Don't teach them to beat people up just because they can. Make sure they know the difference. or eventually they will learn the hard way, its called jail.
Been arranged in advanced n prob charge unfair on opponent. She would have been in training n knew in advanced she would be fighting. Obvious parental force
I support this kids 100%. Their trainers are qualified, the environment is monitored and controlled, the kids learn useful martial arts, and get a good workout. Much better then letting kids eat McD everyday and die of heart attack before they reach 15.
of course some children turn out okay. but it is still a fact that most people who gets children, have no clue on how to raise a child, they mostly just wing it, learn along the way, and hope for the best. which is admirable, but just not the way to do it, especially after all we have learned about children's psychological development and its vulnerability in its first few years, how the smallest things can change the behavior and thinking of the child in later life.
ta 4 the upload i missed this n really wanted to see, i dont see the problem really kids play football from an early age n do boxing and stuff so y not mma?
my mum also had me do all kinds of sports as a kid, i hated it it is better than letting ur kids get fat sitting in front of the tv like typical American kids fat, ugly, dumb, ... but let them do something they like i only found out in my teens martial arts is really the kind of sports i wanted to do that and/or skiing, shud have tried that earlier instead of a fuckload of other sports i hated
THISGUY I don't mean there's no difference in style, just that kids have been learning a fighting technique for years. Such as TKD, Boxing, Kickboxing. Even wrestling has been taught in public school for Decades. People act like this is a new concept.
As a martial artist myself, I fully support teaching kids how to defend themselves and give them a good work out. But when the boy talked about the fights at school and his mum talking about being called names gets him fired up and the girl being made up for her tournament is where my red lights go off. Above all else the martial arts is to teach discipline, focus, and control of the mind and body as much as teaching how to defend yourself. Not simply how to beat people up.
The first rule of Kiddie Fight Club is, you DO NOT TALK ABOUT KIDDIE FIGHT CLUB The second rule of Kiddie Fight Club is, you DO NOT talk about Kiddie Fight Club. If someone cries, says, “mommy I got a boo boo” the fight is over. Two tots to a fight. One kiddie fight at a time. No shirts, no shoes, no action figures and no blankies and no toys of any kind. Kiddie fights will go on as long as they have to or until someone cries. If this is your first night at Kiddie Fight Club, you have to fight.
i dont see why everyone says that there bad parents. this is just like parents forcing there kids to get good grades and forcing them to dance or whatever the hell else. fighting is a sport, just like football and baseball and hocky. let the danm kids fight
@nephildevil a lot of parents do that in america, too, actually. i was put in soccer when i was 5. i played till i was 8 and then i quit because i wasn't any good, and my parents were ok with that. they support me no matter what. i swim and play basketball. i have a 3.7 gpa. im NOT dumb and fat. by the way it's "should" not "shud i dont think that it's fair to make kids do things they don't want to do in the sports area, especially if it's a contact support like fighting.
@widiwutsch parents raping, killing, physically abusing, and/ or neglecting there kids is sick stuff. Parents making there kids chase selfishly chase their own washed up passions may be sad and bad parenting, but I wouldn't call it sick. There's worse things out there.
I have no issue with kids this young learning martial arts... but it should be defensive, with focus on fun, and how and when NOT to use the techniques. I don't think these sports should be competitive until the kids are much older for a long list of reasons. I am a big fan of martial arts, competitions included, but this shit is ridiculous. Toddlers & kids participating in martial arts contests with their soft bones is so, so dangerous - even with padding, kicks and fists can be misplaced.
the parents arnt retardted they want there kids to be better then they were when they were younger but the last parents leting those kids with no padding and geting kneed to the face that was brutal... but other wise its fine
Unbelievable! Sad parents living a dream through thier children. One man admits hes never won a title himself. Some of these kids clearly aren't enjoying themselves.
tbh this documentary can be taken completely out of context. A lot of the things shown are out of order but it's not limited to thai boxing. If anyones ever went to watch a kid's football match you'll see even worse reactions from the parents at the sideline. However, Thai boxing shouldn't be blamed for what some of these kids do. It's the parents. And even then, some of the kids obviously like it - if you've never trained and fought then you'll never fully understand.
In that case, by now the majority of the world is immoral and fucked up. Thing is, most people I meet seem like decent people, not saints, but not terrible either.
I know this is just my opinion. and we all have different ways of bring up kids... but to teach them to "fight" so young...seems wrong. If they are interested in it, let them watch it a little on tv, and when they are a little older... then help them pursue it... But look at the little girl... she is scared, when your scared it's not fun!
You know people call this child abuse and point fingers at these parents. Well guess what children cry playing other sports to. Children are forced to participate in sports such as football, baseball, and soccer. When children cry at these events it's considered "cute". Turn to a sport that involves fighting and suddenly it's "child abuse".
@casper93471 How Is This Any Different Than Putting Your Kid In Soccer Or TKD ? Every Sport Has That Fanatical Parent Who Maybe Takes It A Little Farther Than There's Supposed To But These Kids Enjoy It Its Fun For Them And In The End It Will Make Them Better People. Anyone Who Has Ever Trained In Thai Boxing Or Any Other Martial Art For That Matter Will Tell You That They Don't Ever Get Into Fights At School Because They Know How To Fight And That Confidence Alone Will Ward Off Any Bully
I train fighters, Ive even worked with kids, I think that it instills confidence and discipline in kids, but this is borderline abuse. I dont know if it being a girl makes me biased, but this kid isnt into it at all it seems. I mean, go into MMA yourself, if you want, but dont railroad this little girl.
PS: These parents on this dammn TV show dont deserve Children. Their kids should be with a Child protection agency. I doubt this kids even want to fight. I wouldnt let my son and/or daughter near that ring.
It's pushing your kids to defend themselves. Do you want your kids to be some pansys, or do you want them to be someone no kid would DARE mess with. And just because I don't agree with your personal opinion doesn't mean I'm delusional. There forcing there kids to excel in something. Besides, little boy liked it. would you really try to take away his dream of being a champion because YOU think fighting is wrong? plus i never said I'd make my kids do it. but if other people want to. let them
@casper93471 and I have no behavior problems what so ever martial arts/combat sports has helped me, on the contrary now I can deal with adversity and stressful situations in a calm manner obviously you never did practice martial arts growing up are anything of the sort ......(on top of that it got me to break the habit of being a lazy junk food kid who just played video games when I was younger)
@casper93471 If they were getting punched in the face , getting knockedout , severely injured , maybe i would agree with you , this isn't anymore brutal than pee wee american football , or pee wee ice hockey yet you don't here anyone complain about that ? mentally maybe i could see it being abuse , but than again I started competing in martial arts contest similar to what these kids are doing at a young age I turned pretty good no brain damage I graduated high school than went on to college
well you sure seemed like it. why else would you have put all the exclamation points? and just spell the word. fuckfuckfuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck. just put it. it's not gonna offend anyone. and i dont see why you care. and actually. my computer had a virus, i have alot more to say. just because i dont answer within the next day dosen't mean im not gonna answer. + i don't even consider this meaningful enough to call a convo. Because this is just the internet, and its not like i even care
teaching kids martial arts is great, but forcing them into competitions is not cool. I personally think that people shouldn't enter martial arts tournaments until they are at least 13, but that's just me
haha, one of the kids one day will be like "daddy, i don't want to box, i want to dance." remind you of anything? (billy elliot)
Miah needed to kick more
@Jazzamay When your child cries on the first day of school, is making them go child abuse? She was just nervous; that's what kids do when they are nervous.
Classic example of parents living their lives through their kids, utterly pathetic.
Suddenly, Toddlers and Tiaras sounds like a good idea...
omg. those kids are terrified! You can't raise them to be afraid!!!!!!!! if you teach them to be violent when theyre under pressure theyre going to be horrible people.
ok good, i thought i was the only one disturbed by this
i can understand not making her fight if she dont want to, but my kids are gonna be the same way. they are gonna fight regardless, because there is no way i will allow them to be a victim of anything ever,
Peace through power
Its either people bitching about parents letting their kids get fat, or people bitching about their kids working too hard at some thing.

Don't teach them to beat people up just because they can. Make sure they know the difference. or eventually they will learn the hard way, its called jail.
Good shit. These kids will become champions one day if they continue what they're doing.
*punch noise* by accident.
I fight all my life, so I know what is fighting. This kid don't wont to fight. Live that kid alone!!!
@Rentago i agree with you. i dont want my kids getting fat. its the same thing as kids that do karate.
this is sick!
If the girl is crying and refusing to go in the ring to fight, then don't make her.
Been arranged in advanced n prob charge unfair on opponent. She would have been in training n knew in advanced she would be fighting. Obvious parental force

Princess!! Get er Princess!!! Princess!!! Duck

fat, ugly, dumb, ...
but let them do something they like
i only found out in my teens martial arts is really the kind of sports i wanted to do
that and/or skiing, shud have tried that earlier instead of a fuckload of other sports i hated
well,if they wanted...but i don't think,this little girl want to fight...she's crying,when she when she have to go in the ring...
It is simply about discipline!
I think most people learn to raise their children by emulating what their parents did, reading books, and checking with friends and colleagues.
You all realize that in the US, there is a Tae Kwon Doe school in just about every strip mall. There really isn't a difference.
no difference between tkd and muay thai? are you on crack
THISGUY I don't mean there's no difference in style, just that kids have been learning a fighting technique for years. Such as TKD, Boxing, Kickboxing. Even wrestling has been taught in public school for Decades. People act like this is a new concept.
xtraflo despite my comment being old, I understand now, I misinterpreted it.
You're correct.

It's fun
Thats Sick, Those Kids Should Be Out Playing Not Fighting At That Age
Imagine when was at school thinking what friends be doing that Saturday. N she is being strapped up ready to curl under the rope for fight
i dont see why everyone says that there bad parents. this is just like parents forcing there kids to get good grades and forcing them to dance or whatever the hell else. fighting is a sport, just like football and baseball and hocky. let the danm kids fight

She is crying because she doesnt want to fight, WTF.
wish my parents made me do this when i was a kid!
Snap
the parents arnt retardted they want there kids to be better then they were when they were younger but the last parents leting those kids with no padding and geting kneed to the face that was brutal... but other wise its fine
Children should play children's game. I think their parents are paranoidal! poor people!
this is just fucking hilarious
Unbelievable! Sad parents living a dream through thier children. One man admits hes never won a title himself. Some of these kids clearly aren't enjoying themselves.

and I thought Soccer moms were fucked up
Im just 15 and even I know this show is wrong. These parents should go to jail for this.
In that case, by now the majority of the world is immoral and fucked up. Thing is, most people I meet seem like decent people, not saints, but not terrible either.
rofl . possible typical stereotype situation? with the father not being a successful boxer wants to live his dream thru his son?
