mtheiss Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 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? "Not all the best people can be found in the ring" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 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. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtheiss Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 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.

bushido_man96 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Starting at 8 sounds ok, I was just wondering if they wore the head gear in competition or not. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtheiss Posted July 23, 2006 Author Share Posted July 23, 2006 No headgear or pads in any competition or intraclass sparring.I hope that is an answer to your question. "Not all the best people can be found in the ring" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
