My child wrestles to learn how to compete. He learns how to win and how to lose the last thing that I would ever consider would be to put my 6 yr old in mma and say go beat the h--- out of some kid. I dont agree one bit with putting kids in mma. At 6 yrs old kids are thinking that it is ok to beat kids up and proud of it...dont think so! 6 year olds are supposed to be having fun and meeting new friends not wanting to beat the h--- out of some kid.
