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

Now when the topic of Kiddies doing MMA pops up, it is only natural that lots of people cringe only a little, and rightly so. The only thing many people know of this sport is the very top amount of professional athletes and the rules used at that level, which is not really something children must be doing.

But the truth is, most people training in MMA will never be planning to fight in a professional match. The majority of adults that are entering competitions won't compete under those rules. Like other fighting styles that involve striking there exists a wide range of rule sets from amateur up to professional.

What exactly is "safe" for kids to do in the martial arts has been more successful over several years. Young ones doing Martial Arts Winnipeg don't do anything that hasn't been getting done in Karate, Judo and Wrestling classes for a long time. Actually they often do less of the riskier aspects. They do not kick to the head and they don't get extra points for high impact throws and takedowns.

A lot of the bad reputation MMA gets is a lack of experience with it, particularly at amateur levels sufficient reason for what actually happens in class. MMA classes are fun, they truly are safe, and they are a really intense work out. The last 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 serious injury.

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

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

Definitely not. We have been teaching them the exact opposite, how to not hurt one another, and how exactly to keep themselves from getting hurt.

Kids trained 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 accountable for their own, but also their opponents safety. They truly are needed to remain calm and act intelligently at all times. Anger and attempts to hurt others usually do not lead to victory in this sport, they lead to defeat. Alternatively athletes must develop the ability to remain calm under great pressure, to be patient and to act intelligently and strategically also to show good sportsmanship in victory and defeat.

As they progress they learn leadership skills, helping younger and less experienced kids with techniques and strategy. Young kids helping others beat them in training is really a amazing thing to see, and a great show of humility and respect. Yet every son or daughter that trains can do it as they gain experience. They are going to 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 conditioning. Every muscle is employed, from every position and in every direction possible. The work-out is intense and in a time of declining conditioning being involved in exercise program is important for healthy living.
