Re: Kids fighting
'Come on Princess!'
'Kick her in the head!'
I've just watched it, and it was disturbing.
Unregulated, lots of differing 'offical' bodies, governing what is and isn't allowed, such as punches to the head, which was shown in one filmed fight.
The most disturbing aspect about the programme was the parents.
Boxing clubs used to be seen as the saviour for many working class boys, in that it taught them discipline, pride in themselves, and helped keep them out of trouble.
The whole idea of small kids, some as young as three, kicking seven bells out of each other, while their parents scream encouragement from the sidelines, and for one to be told they are the winner, and one the loser, all seems very sad.
