Hi Im a parent of 2 and a blogger on self defence and martial arts. Recently I wrote about a martial art where children as young as 4 are being taught to strangle each other. Im glad the vast majority of people seem to be against this however as I have only had feedback from within the martial arts world I am wondering if other parents feel this activity is harmless fun or very dangerous on a physical and emotional level. All views are welcome as I am doing a follow up article and would like a good balance of views.
However I will warn you in advance children as young as 4 are choking other children and also how to arm lock them.
What does the average parent think of this activity and would you like your child to play unsupervised with a child you knew could really hurt your son or daughter with techniques designed to kill?
