I think it was really over hyped. I think The words "cage fighting" made the world see it as alot worse. I dont agree with it but i didnt think it was as bad as the news made it out to be.

That is indeed a good article. I particularly like the example of footballers as role models, fair point.

i guess once difference in there thats usually not allowed in grappling competitions is it looks like one of them does the slam while in guard.

They didn't look like beginners.

I'm a dad, and I don't have a problem with kids doing submission grappling (as long as good refs will call a technical sub, and all have competitors have been taught to tap/respect the tap)
