They are the reasons kids do not understand that fighting is not a game. Even Bruce Lee failed to make them understand that reality. That's why they cannot learn these lethal techniques yet. Once your daughter has reached 11 years old, I believe she is allowed to learn self-defense techniques. I wouldn't want her to be a fighter either. Hopefully Shi Zu would agree on that.Kanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03225222198944464384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2972476768782010154.post-26583720739459274142013-06-22T17:21:46.607-05:002013-06-22T17:21:46.607-05:00It was nice meeting you too.

I hope I'll be back on the live training again soon.<br />I think kids do need to have a lot of understanding before they should learn the martial arts. They have to be able to understand that fighting is a serious thing. On TV and in video games, people just run around beating up bad guys all the time like it's nothing. And people in action movies fight over everything like it is going to solve all problems. Kids have to know that there are consequences for actions, and that beating up people doesn't solve many problems, but just creates more.<br />Right now, my daughter works out with me, but she's not supposed to do the kicks and punches. Not until she understands things a bit better.<br />I'd like to know what Sifu thinks about teaching young girls self defense. By the time my girl is 11 or 12, I would like for her to know some self defense moves so that if some guy were to grab her, she could lay him flat on his back or something. I don't want her to be a fighter, but I do want her to be able to protect herself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01600833461712128174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2972476768782010154.post-30559513430313994722013-06-22T10:38:20.658-05:002013-06-22T10:38:20.658-05:00Oh thank you.

It cannot be a playground! I am not crazy am I?
