Is it ok to teach your children to fight?
    #12255255 -

Is it ok to teach your children to fight, either by enrolling them in a martial arts (kung-fu, karate, MMA, whatever) class or teaching him/her/them your self?
Is it also ok for a parent to teach their chilred to hunt and or use a rifle or a gun?

If not why? If ok, why and at what age?

Of course it's ok.  Five for fighting, eight for hunting.

What is, ok and what isn't and at what ages?

I personally am planing to teach my son Kung-fu hand and weapons and how to fire a rifle and eventually hand guns as well.
He is three years old now and I am letting him play call of duty modern warfare 2. His Mom and I are divorced and she is against me letting him play that game, but my argument is, I teach him how to fight at an early age because I not only think it important but in these times of war, necessary and a valuable lesson learned early might help him later in life.

Dont fool yourself into thinking that letting him play violent video games at a young age is a life lesson.  Its not.  Its the very opposite of how self defense and gun usage/safety should be taught.

You want to know what ages?  Im not sure, but I do know I wouldn't let him play modern warfare at a young age.

martial arts teaches you not only fighting, bust also good morals and teaches that fighting should only be used if you are in danger and need to defend yourself. This may not the case for ALL children. There are always going to be some cases where martial arts will make a child who already bullies people, to make matters worse. But that is usually not the case. You know your children. If they are nice and kind to other peers, martials arts could make then even better children. If your child is gettin beaten up or bullied, then martial arts is good too... If your child is the kid who fights or bullies other peers, theres a chance this could be a good thing to practice self control... But it could also make the problem worse.

Also the intructor is very important. The instructor is a big influence on his students when it comes to how they will use their skills in the real world. When I was a kid, martial arts gave me inner and outer strength, I felt I was part of a family who cared. This gave me higher self esteem and an overall better outlook on how I felt about myself.

Ya know he's not going to learn anything valuable about combat from that game.  Also, so help me God, if you put him on a microphone and send him out into Xbox Live I will hunt you down and kick you in the testicles personally.  Never let children have microphones on xbox live omg :shakefist:

Anyhow, I feel like I learned a lot about life from playing video games.  It made me good at getting good at things, if ya follow.  It gave me an analytical mindset.  FPS and RTS games are so intense if you play them right.  You find every little corner, every grenade bounce, every opportunity to gain an advantage.  Maybe it's just my stoned ramblings, but I think having video games really sharpened me.

My son draws battle scenes and people killing each other. I'm not to sure I want him around to many weapons but I teach him gun safety with airsoft guns. I tried to get him into karate but he didn't want to do it. I could teach him but he isn't interested in it yet. He just wants to play nerf guns and sword fight all the time. When he is ready I will definitely start training him the best I can, then I will take him to a school if he wants to continue. I not only support it I encourage him to learn.

It's good to teach kids to defend themselves and others who cannot defend themselves.  The worst thing in this world is someone who does nothing in the face of oppression.

As long as they are being taught to defend themselves and not to attack people it's a good thing.

I'd say 13, possibly 12 if he's mature enough to understand it properly. 

As for teaching them to fight, well, mine's taking ju jitsu lessons right now, and I think it's great for him.  Growing up in a female-dominated environment, he really needs that testosterone boost.  I let him fire nerf guns & we play Kung Fu, but I don't have the skills to teach him an actual martial art.  And he's gonna need to know how to kick ass to make it as a boy. Wish it wasn't so, but that's the way of the world.

Discipline is key in martial arts training a great thing to instill in your children as early as possible, weapons handling, safety, is also an important lesson that should be taught every child.

Our children will be exposed to violence at some point on their life from bullies to gang members to drunk frat guys to war, I think it important to prepare your child.

Call of duty will not help you beat up a bully but is great for cognitive development, familiarizing him with the concept of battle (war) the stategizing recognizing threats and what weapon for what job, team dynamic.

I don't let him use a mic because the LIVE community is fowl and not for the ears of children.
