Please help a Mum with MMA Training advice!

2010-03-03T19:43:18-06:00

Hi everyone,

I’ve just joined the forum, I’ve been lurking trying to find some advice so I thought I’d join and post my questions.

Our son is 11 and has been training with a combined martial arts club for two years in the Northern suburbs of Adelaide.
However, 95% of this training has been in kata.
He hasn’t had any sparring training until recently when he told them he wanted to go in an up and coming tournament.
Our son has never been in a fight and I’m not sure his training has prepared him, but hey we’ll soon see!
He’s currently on his 6th kyu.

About six months ago he had to think about his future for a school assignment and told us he’d like a career based around martial arts. So, he has his heart set on a career in MMA.
Now I know lots of young boys probably do and not everyone is going to make it, or have what it takes. I get that.

But for now we really want to support him the best we can and to be honest I’m just not sure if his club is the right one for this.
Wondering if it’s time to move to another club or are we on the right path.

I’d be so grateful if anyone could give us some advice or thoughts on what he and we could or should be doing.

Thanks.
