Not sure if the kids get it, though. I mean it looks as if they just kick each other. I don't know if I'd raise a kid showing him/her how to kick without any reason whatsoever. How old are those two? Maybe 3 or 4?
That's horrible. It is kind of funny but kids that young shouldn't be fighting. You can't teach discipline that young. They probably don't understand the concept of it and just see it as doing kicks.

They learn that in the dojo is the only place to "do kicks." Those kids are much less likely to find trouble outside the training place. Also, the physical condition they are developing is very important to the brain. If every kid trained like that, the number of ADHD kids would be reduced by half!
my 2 sisters(and their husbands) and I pitched in to get my 5 year old nephew a year of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muai Thai classes for a year, total of 4 classes a week. He never understood the concept of the "kicking" in the dojo and he didn't like going because he wasn't learning how to kick, so he no longer goes, but my 3 year old niece goes and LOVES it. She's the direct opposite and seems to understand it much more. She's progressing very well, and the kids get ribbons on their belt when they learn(and retain) something from the class. She's already got 2 ribbons(white & yellow) and they don't give them away either.
Nothing wrong with starting training and discipline at a young age, as long as they are able to understand the concept and don't just want to learn to kick and fight(like my nephew).
It depends a lot of the instructor to make the class fun and educative in the same time. I lived 19 years in Brazil, and I used to train after the people from the Jiu jitsu. I have to say, I didn't see discipline in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. If I had a son, I'd encourage asian martial arts, which there are a way more discipline and responsability.
My nephew was also taking Muai Thai, which is pretty disciplined. We've gone to watch the kids and you can tell they really enjoy it, they're way into it. My nephew seemed to enjoy it though, but it didn't turn out.
2 BJJ and 2 MT classes a week.
After school today, my nephew told us that he wants to play soccer, which is probably why he wanted to learn to kick in hindsight, but he didn't even fuss about losing the classes... he actually gave them to his sister of his own accord. He never told us why he gave them away until today(well, I think that's why he gave it away, he wants soccer!)
Those kids are like 3. I can understand maybe 6 or 7 year olds but not so young. I wish I was in some martial arts class. Also another thing to lower ADHD count is make shows have longer cuts between scenes. Every 5-7 seconds there is a camera shift in most common shows. But when compared to older shows, like black and white shows, they took 10-16 seconds to change to a different camera angle or scene.

Ahhh, kids eh? :P
This is good. Muai Thai definitely has some discipline. The good thing is that they are liking it, which means that the instructor is good enough to make them like.
I used to train Judo when I was 5, and I used to like because it was fun to know what I could do with my little body. I have a video on youtube of myself training at that age, but there's no way I'm going to share it here. :P
lmao. This is funny, but I'd encourage that because it's really healthy for the child development. :P

Still kinda funny...

I'd love to see some pro come in and just knock em both out in a second LOL. Mothers+dads probably hate me now.
