You can hit them in the face, but don't try taking there phone, or all hell will break out, and a usually calm kid, will fkn go ballistic 😂

I’m all for trying to make kids tough by reasonable means. But with all we know now about how cumulative shots in youth can result in CTE later in life, only an idiot would think the way to do it is to allow an adult to smack around still-developing skulls.

I really wanted to see another adult step in and knock that jackass out.

I do love when late era Boomers try and liken themselves to like 1700s colonials in terms of toughness and grit. Guys, you were at Woodstock getting high and humping everything you could lol.. life wasnt THAT much tougher for today's 60 and 70 year olds.

Not that I don't disagree that current generations of youth arent completely effed, either.

For all the people promoting this as a good thing that will "toughen up" kids, I wonder how many would promote this if their kids or grandkids were on the receiving end. 😂 Don't you dream of them going to med school or graduating with honors in a great masters or phd program? Nope. I want them to be angry, tough and dumb as a stump. 🤣

Some boomers were at Woodstock, other boomers were on an all expenses paid trip to the tropical paradise of Viet Nam.

Looks like a good way to spread Covid. Lotta slobber and tears on those gloves. :)

Love how he knew the kid in the blue shirt couldn't handle the smoke.

Alternatively, the short kid in the long pink shorts took it like a champ. My boy wanted MORE.
I worked with a Mexican that looked a lot like him.

and the cause of CTE
Yeah, I can't get on board with this. My oldest son was a pro mma fighter, and we would train full contact, but always with folks the same size. Some of the kids in that video looked 11-12 years old and that's a good sized fella. If he were doing that same drill but allowing those kids to roll with the punches and slip in and out, that's one thing or if he paired up kids the same size and let them go full blast, that's fine, but there is too much chance for longterm head and neck injury there for me. But to each his own

He is obviously not hitting them with much force. One legitimate shot from that guy could easily drop them. I have to think kids their own size could definitely hit them at least as hard and probably harder than this appears to be.
