FIGHT LEAGUE KIDS
More and more kids are fantasizing about becoming a pro fighter in the United States.
MMA - Mixed Martial Arts - is, by far, the fastest growing sport among the youth. Kids as young as 4 are picking up ’kiddy classes’ taught by professional MMA fighters."
The bouts, that are not allowed in most states, take place either in an octagon cage, boxing ring or on a wrestling mat.
The sport is tough and looks violent, even though statistically it’s safer than soccer. Most parents react strongly against allowing their children to participate, saying it’s sick to let kids fight in a cage. Proponents say it’s no different from karate, wrestling, football or baseball. "
At the gyms there are communities being formed where kids, all ages, are mingling and taking care of each other. Strict discipline and respect is taught and children grow up self confident."
Contradiction about the sport is as vast and inevitable, as is the expansion of the fastest growing sport in the United States. "
