How young is too young to fight?

Never miss a good chance to shut up
well I up for throwing a bunch of 5 year olds in the cage and watching them beat each other up so I can capitalize on my MMA class enrollemtns and overcharge the parents on lessons.....
seriously I would have to say 18 to fight professionally and 16 to compete amatuer.
NO 9 YEAR OLDS
KUNG FU USA

Teaching traditional Ba Bu Tang Lang (Eight Step Praying Mantis)
Jin Gon Tzu Li Gung (Medical) Qigong
Wu style Taiji Chuan
Teacher always told his students, "You need to have Wude, patient, tolerance, humble, ..." When he died, his last words to his students was, "Remember that the true meaning of TCMA is fierce, poison, and kill."
16 is still too young for full contact, so amateur with significant gear yes.
18 is old enough for most.
Training can begin way earlier though.
Minor tussles are normal for young guys.
Kung Fu is good for you.
anytime you get your bell rung, and that does not mean KO'd, you have a concussion, and neurological damage. Fact.
They are doing studies now that show the high amount of concussions in High School sports.
Kids should not be taking shots to the head,
unless they already have an in, in the laborers union.
I can't stand the people who live vicariously through their students to prove their toughness.

you mean no kicking three year olds in the head? it's not a good thing?I can't stand the people who live vicariously through their students to prove their toughness.
Hung Sing Boyz, we gottit on lock down
when he's around quick to ground and pound a clown
Bruh we thought you knew better
when it comes to head huntin, ain't no one can do it better
the video showed both boys of 11 Y.O.
when you are young, you may not strike or kick too hard.
some kind of glove to avoid nails and pinches

you still can have fun by points
it's funny when people say,"Oh well, they're just little kids. They don't hit hard."
yeah, well they don't hit you hard, but it's all relative. An eleven yr old hitting another eleven yr old is the same thing as an adult hitting an adult.
"My Gung-Fu may not be Your Gung-Fu.
Gwok-Si, Gwok-Faht"

I think those two kids would wreck 90 percent of the people on this site.
In all seriousness, I have been around youth boxing a long time and have never seen any serious injuries, although long term damage is something debatable. The cage headgear does soften some of the impact but damage can still be done. I'm not opposed to 18 and up for full contact fighting and semi-contact style fighting for youths.

i think training kids should be very careful. the kids from my junior high and high school who lifted weights hardcore are all midgets now, and i know some with permanent spine problems from rugby.
