Mixed Winnipeg Martial Arts is the fastest growing sport in The united states right now. It's on T.V., 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 Young ones doing MMA pops up, it's only natural that lots of people cringe just a little, and rightly so. The one thing most people know with this sport is the very top level of professional athletes and the rules used at that level, that is definitely not something kiddies should really be doing.

But you, the vast majority of people training in MMA should never be likely to fight in a professional match. The majority of adults that are entering competitions will never compete under those rules. Like other fighting techinques that involve striking there exists a wide variety of rule sets from amateur around professional.

What is "safe" for kids to do in the fighting techinques has been well established over many years. Kiddies doing Martial Arts Winnipeg don't do anything that wasn't getting done in Karate, Judo and Wrestling classes for years. Actually they often times do less of the riskier aspects. They cannot kick to the head and so they do not get extra points for high impact throws and takedowns.

A lot of the bad reputation MMA gets is a insufficient experience with it, specially at amateur levels and with what actually happens in class. MMA classes are fun, they've been safe, and they're an extremely intense workout. The final thing any gymnasium owner wants is injuries, and after more then 10 years of teaching I have yet to see a kid with any such thing close to a serious injury.

Drawn in the same context consider our national sport. Players skate around on ice with blades on the feet slamming each other into one another, the boards, swinging sticks around and getting into bare knuckle fist fights in almost every game. If all you could knew of hockey was seeing a few professional games, you could easily come away with a very negative perception, and cringe quite hard at the looked at kiddies playing the game. But most of us have played the game at a amateur level in some form, even when it absolutely was just through gymnasium class in school. We know that what happens on television is not just like what goes on in a game played by 8-year olds.

But aren't we just teaching young ones to hurt one another?

Absolutely not. We're teaching them the precise opposite, how to maybe not hurt one another, and just how to keep themselves from getting hurt.

Kiddies training in 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 are not only responsible for their very own, but additionally their opponents safety. They're necessary to remain calm and act intelligently at all times. Anger and attempts to hurt others don't cause victory in this sport, they lead to defeat. Instead athletes must develop the capability to remain calm under pressure, to be patient and also to act intelligently and strategically and also to show good sportsmanship in victory and defeat.

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

To top all of it off Martial Arts demands a very high standard of physical fitness. Every muscle is used, from every position and in every direction possible. The work-out is intense and in a time of declining physical fitness being associated with fitness program is important for healthy living.
