If you raise your kid right no one will bully him anyway. Bullies always single out weaklings they KNOW wont hit back. If your kid is involved with sports and has self respect chances are no one will attack him. If he sits in his room watching anime all day you have failed as a parent already

If you live in the "hood" you should worry about moving your family to a better place before you teach your kid self defence srs

i'm sure if i was put through boxing or mma i would've had more confidence in standing up for myself. instead of being scared ****less whenever someone touched me

I'll buy him a gun on his first birthday, that's the only way to defend yourself in the US right?

Be honest, do you even know how to do any of those things properly yourself? How many street fights have you won? Or do you/or your husband train a martial art?

Personally I would encourage my kid to do some judo or another martial art(as far as I know judo has the most competitive scene for small kids here in Germany) as a sport. If he/she is more interested in something else, I would be okay as well.

No I have never been in a fight or had anyone start me. I wish had learnt I think it is good skill to have.

Yes hubby learnt at very young age how to throw a punch and I ask him if he was ever bullied he said no

I got tough from playing sports like hockey, tackle football, soccer, and baseball. Just roughhousing and wrestling with my buddies, my Dad, my Uncles, and my cousins. A much older kid bloodied my nose in first grade for allegedly destroying his sandcastle. In 3rd grade a kid hit me in the face with his backpack which had a metal lunchbox in it and knocked me out. Each time I went to the teachers and really wasn't scared of the kids. My parents never taught me "to fight". They instilled values in me and taught me to be smart and clever and look out for myself. Idiots fight. I know guys in HS that got their teeth knocked out in stupid bar fights.

Summary: No, don't teach your kids to fight. People shouldn't fight it's one of the dumbest things you can do.

It's just information is coming at a faster rate and there's so much more information appearing now than before. When I pass by parks where I grew up, I see kids of different races playing ball and co-existing where as when I grew up, it was more of a place for gangs to hang out. I think it's a bit more safer now than before imo.

I plan on enrolling my kids into BJJ when they each turn 4.
Learning a martial art isn't solely for "being able to defend yourself"
I look at it as an activity that drives multiple positive outcomes:

Participate in a sport
Learn situational awareness
Learn how to stick to something and progress (belts/skill level)
be able to defend yourself

If your kid goes around instigating things then he/she is a punk and needs to be taught how to behave regardless of whether or not they know a martial art or not.

I am absolutely going to teach my daughter how to defend herself.

It would be nice to pretend the world is full of nice people, and everyone cares about each other but the truth is that it is not. People are going to harass you/antagonize and sometimes come after you. I want her to be prepared to handle herself.

I would easily choose her getting suspended and being unhurt than her getting a broken nose or other injuries from a bully.

That's a wonderful sentiment in a perfect world but there a lot of bad people out there and most don't share your understanding nature.

Kids should at least know how to defend themselves as trouble will follow them even when they've done nothing wrong. That's just the nature of bullies. Nevertheless, I have to admit it comes a time when knowing to run away may be the best way out.

the guy is a loser, I just laugh at him

asked him what would happen if he tried to kick your arse
he literally burst out laughing
said Im not scared of him

Teach them to defend themselves. Defense fighting also instills confidence which is a major bonus.

Also teach them non-aggression, meaning, never start the aggression.

Yes, every male member of society should take some MMA/boxing/Karate or other combat sport as a child. Not only for how to defend himself and the females in his family, but also to learn discipline and physical health.

Girls shouldn't. Maybe some basic self-defense skills, but really, if the men of the world start rising up to their natural state of being protectors and defenders, then women wouldn't have to worry about that stuff.

NO
Just NO
Last day of school fifth grade for my daughter, before she left out the door.
I grabbed her hair, firmly full hand of hair and started pulling her down.

She first started yelling saying stoooooop.
I kept pulling harder, she grabbed my wrist with both hands of hers, pivoted down and then twisted it to the right.
Could have literally broken my wrist if she wanted to.

She will break a wrist anyone tries to pull her hair. Boy/Girl matters not.
She knows what to do.

forcing them? so making them join a sports team or go into boxing is making them turn into how we want? why do you force your kid to go to school then? dont force him brah, sdfu kids dont know what they want, start them young in something like boxing so that later in life they have the skills then they can choose to go into a career of boxing if they like because they have the groundwork already,

Of course you should. Everyone should learn how to protect themselves. It's really a shame that safety is taken for granted these days. In fact, if I had children, one of the first things I'd also teach them is how to administer First aid.

Agree with this , everyone should know the basic first aid in emergency situation.

As an elementary school teacher, this.

99% of the "bullying" parents complain about is kids being kids. Kids are mean, but they're kids. They're self centered and as they grow older they will mature and learn how to behave. If they don't then that will be dealt with at that point. Bullying in elementary is just "he did this, so i did it back!" and that occurs 19,000 times a day... at least in my second period.
Being anti-2nd Amendment is like saying "We have too many rights, please take some away!"

Unfortunately it's a legal requirement where I live to send your child to school.

So I have no choice.

This is the same education system that told my 4yr old not to recite the alphabet using the proper words (ABC) and that he should regress to pronouncing as phoenetically as 'abk'.

... because that is what the syllabus dictated.


So I implore you to shut the fuk up. Since you know not of what you speak.

I've been on the recieving end of being 'obliged ' to compete as a child. After a while I realised that what I was doing was not actually what I wanted.

Thankfully I didn't lose too much of my childhood because of it.
