I was wondering, since young boys and girls now are being trained at the age of 5 (or perhaps younger!), I was wondering about suggestions about how long should the kids be testing in the training gym before you are sent into real 3 minute (12 round?) matches against their fellow students their age. Should they be around 8 or is that logical?

This is a good question. It would all depend on the level of fighting they will be doing, and how much protective gear they wear. I would say problably older than 8, but I could be wrong.

To answer Bushido's question most appropriately I would say the kids are wearing no protection as such (headgear and any body equipment). But then, I have one scource in England who believes that such heavy fighting should begin at 8 like what he said. I do not know how Bushido and the others would react to such a senerio. BTW, the rules are clearly 3 minute rounds with a 12 round limit unless you are going for the "knockout only" fights.

No headgear or pads in any competition or intraclass sparring.

I hope that is an answer to your question.
