Baby fight club

Did anyone watch this last night? I'm not sure what to make of it!

I'm all for children taking part in sports and learning a discipline such as martial arts as I do think it helps keep them healthy and focused......

....... but there was something about watching the parents and spectators of some of the younger children jeering and screaming for their child to kick harder and watching these children cry going into the ring left me a bit upset!

Some of the children were about 5 years and one family takes their 9/10 year old to Bangkok to fight Thai rules as they can fight with no body guards and can kick in the head!

Just couldn't help thinking it was a bit much!

Ok, I see! Ye I think the programme makers got what they wanted out of it! I agree though, seen just as much jeering at dogs fighting in other docu! I expect there is plenty to learn from this type of Martial Art, if taught in the right way!
