Child Thai Boxing
I saw some of this program when it was on, and I had to turn it off. It was absolutely sick. The little 5 year old girl Miah lost a match, and she was in floods of tears. Not because she wanted to win, she wanted to play with her dolls. But because she'd upset her dad. |

You can actually watch it on YouTube. This is part 2 of the program - but if you go in a minute you'll see two young kids fighting with no protective gear. At about 5:45 you'll see the little girl fight.

Ugh, that's horrific. Pushing children into athletics is a pet peeve of mine - being in Canada, I actually get a fair bit of flack for not putting my child into hockey. While hockey is a great sport, my child has no inclination towards it, nor has he made any requests to participate in it. But holy hell, do I ever get flamed at work from hockey parents, who claim my child is deprived. To push a child into participating in Thai fighting is abuse, imo. If they don't have the desire, they aren't going to defend themselves properly. |

I don't understand why this is even legal. There were news stories very recently about parents who goaded their kids into fighting each other and then posted videos on YouTube - link here. I don't see how getting five year olds to box each other is any different. It's like dog fighting - getting things to fight for your own pleasure. It's sick. |

Everyone knows starting a kid out as young as possible at sports or musical instruments; whatever it may be is a good thing to do. I don't see a problem with teaching kids self defense. No one is going to die over a child fight. A parent can't read minds and the child may indeed have an interest or develop one for the sport. Then they would be pissed the parents didn't start them earlier so they would be further along with conditioning or mastery of an instrument. Kids are tough. I am talking REAL training; and not just parents making their kids fight for no reason. When the kids protest and show they do not like it; then it should be discontinued and not pushed. Otherwise -- Showtime !!!! |

No one here is arguing that whatsoever. Did you watch the video? I'm guessing no. |

Self defence is different. Here, you have parents putting their five year old daughter into a boxing ring with another five year old girl and screaming and swearing at her to beat the shit out of her opponent. They even fed their five year old daughter protein shakes to 'bulk her up' for her fight so that she wouldn't be at a weight disadvantage. I'm all for self defence. Karate is by far more controlled and disciplined, and teaches that it should never be used other than in self defence and only as a last resort. This 'sport' is teaching kids to beat the shit out of other kids. At an age where their brains are still developing, and a knock to the head could cause a lot more damage than it could to a fully grown adult. Watch the video and see how they fight. |
