I was being sarcastic ;)

Thank you TK! I've been dying to find video footage of SBG's kids PAW program! Sure enough they seem to be doing exactly what I've been advocating in regards to kids classes. Perhaps a little more chaos than I'd permit, but they got the right idea. Everythings a game, Kids are having fun, controlled safe and fun sparring/rolling.

i know, you sound like you're good with the kids...until one of the little things kicks you in the groin.

Damm, i did too much hockey so i don't have any martial arts instructing experience. I used to instruct the beginner goalies who are extremely lazy so I couldn't get them to skate unless i paid them to. I had them do 'Goalie Sumo Wrestling.' Nothing like two fully padded kids going head to head to make them work their leg muscles.

Gumby, give up the kid's teaching... leave it to someone else.

Think of the future, think of bullshido... would you rather their parents dropped them off at Billy Bob's Shaolin Karate-do?
