I was watching Dateline on TV a few weeks ago and saw a program on Cage Fighting Kids. They called it youth Pankration, probably in an attempt to smooth over some parents fears and associated brutal images whenever MMA or cage fighting is mentioned.
What struck me was the skill of these young kids and that they could perform at a reasonable level. An equivalent kid doing a traditional martial art would not be up to their capability. If they really have 3 million kids under the age of 13 taking part in some form of MMA and 30,000 MMA schools across the US, then TMA's have a big problem coming their way in the next ten years.
