I was watching "Bully Beatdown" on MTV with my son a few nights ago... It got me thinking...
There nothing worst for a kid than being bullied, it makes what should be a wonderful time of their life into just pure hell. There are many hateful little fuckers who take their own problems out on their classmates and feel better when they beat on others.
In N.Y. I went to a very tough school district myself, luckily I became OBSESSED with weight training at 13yrl and fell in love with wrestling at 15yrl. I had a full six pack in the 7th grad
. My school years are filled with great memories of fun times.
When my son was born, I wanted to him to have the same for himself. I didn't want him to ever be bullied or lack any confidence. I wanted him to be able to handle himself in any situation without doubting himself... As he went from being a baby to growing into a little boy, I wondered... Would he have the same passion for combat sports as me? Would he be into weights and training? or just be one of these kids who plays video games everyday after school?
He always liked to play fight with me, but never wanted to learn any moves or skills. He just seemed to be into the PlayStation a lot more than learning martial arts. This all changed one day a few months ago when I could not find a sitter and had to take him with me to the dojo for training. He sat near the mat and did his homework while I trained. Every time I went to check up on his work he would ask me questions about what moves I was doing.
To make a long story short... I thought he was too young to start the Jiu jitsu program at my school, but I was wrong. Seeing me train sparked a hidden interest in the arts... Today my sweet little boy is, at 6yrl now competing in grappling tournaments and winning medals. He is not only training three days per week, but also doing push ups and sit ups at the house ON HIS OWN!
I'll walk by his room and he is in there with the T.V. on and doing push ups and crunches during commercial breaks...
When he gets into the mat and goes live with other kids, he just transforms in to a little Pitbull and goes after them and doesn't stop till they tap... He is the sweetest kid in the world, has tons of friend and his teachers praise him as "a little gentleman", but he is a ravenous animal when the referee sounds the whistle... Perfect harmony.
Needless to say I am very proud of him and very happy that his future is already looking bright. Bullies and lack of self confidence is not of any concern anymore. The other concerns I will deal with in time.
Life is good
