Back when we were taking martial arts, the youngest kid classes were right before the novice adult classes, so if you got there early you could watch the 4-year-olds go through their lessons. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen. At the very end each day, they got to storm the Master all together and try to take him down. He would flip them all harmlessly to the springy mat, and then they would all stand up and bow together and shout "Thank you, Master!!"

Kids love to be thrown about. Not sure about all that head "kicking", though. Reasonable editing job, but the subject matter?

I agree, maybe dad should have at least taken off his shoes. We play pretty rough though with our daughter. The harder you wallop her with a pillow, the more she loves it.

It's not so much the subject matter as it is the possibility that some idiot out there that lacks the training may try that with his/her own children. Obviously the kids enjoy this "entertainment" but if some drunken moron out there sees this, thinks it's amusing and tries to duplicate it it's his children who ultimately pay.
The flip side of that being the fact that kids just love to get tossed around. I'm constantly throwing my girlfriend's 6yo around in the pool/ocean and she never stops giggling. She loves to come out in the kayak with me because she KNOWS she's going to get dunked a few times.

And if we do get all politically correct and socially responsible about any fun we might have, will it stop the morons from doing stupid shit? Personally, I don't feel responsible for some idiot copying my actions with bad results. Especially if I don't know them, as in I didn't show or encourage them. It's natural selection at work. ![]()
