Would let you kid spar/fight at such a young age?

Why not the sooner the better.

Tiger was special, but his old man put the clubs in his hand before he was 2.

Start your child out with anything before or around the age of 2, and if they take to whatever it is and show some talent for it support em with everything you have and watch how they turn out.

Yeah. No matter what you get kids into it builds confidence, teamwork, listening skills, self confidence, etc.

That being said you gotta do it right. There's a lot instances where parents force kids into doing something where the kid don't want to do it and ain't picking it up.

That's where praise comes into place. Talking your child, you did good. You tried your best. I'm proud of you works wonders.

Its just like school, all kids go to school but it's at home where things tend to set in. You can send your kid to the most expensive schools with the best teachers, in the nicest cities or whatever but if you don't praise them they can fail. Kids in some of these situations succeed because coaches and teachers provide extra praise and fulfill a lot of whats missing at home. Sometimes even that isn't enough. Plenty of talented, smart kids fail and it's not always about not having the best teachers and coaches.

In 7th grade I started failing math. It got so bad I got put into "dumb math" with kids who barely passed 6th grade math and needed extra practice and stuff until they understood and could apply the concepts. It fukked with me. I was a good athlete, popular, my 'friends' teased me "your in Dumb math" I got clowned cause I took a semester of regular math and failed.

Pops took me under his wing and I got back right. 8th grade I was back on track. Had the same teachers, same books...nothing changed at the school level...idk...

Its not til later in life when humans can become resilient and truly independent but by that time we are struggling to keep our heads above water and it's a necessity. That's completely different from people that are swimming or floating through life.

My son's In a boxing gym and no he ain't sparring that young. First he doesn't have the anger required to be a serious boxer and I don't want his handsome looks being beaten into a pulp so young. Some if these kids hit Hward and it's not uncommon for older kids to spar with the younger


Work defense, conditioning and how to throw punches and combinations. Contact far as I'm concerned only happens during drills.
