We recently put Zach in Mixed Martial Arts class through the city of Rancho Cucamonga. Our first impressions of the class were kind of unsettling. By the end of the 1st class he had learned to go from a full mount to an “arm bar” (a type of submission). At the end of his class I was kind of blown away with all the intensity and the teaching of advanced techniques (in my opinion for a 5 year old).

The good thing about it was that Zach seemed to like it quite a bit even though he had to fumble around to do what the other kids were doing. I have always been uneasy with “play fighting” with Zach. I don’t want him to “play fight” with the other kids at school or church and hurt somebody unintentionally.

Now that he is in MMA, I want to make sure Zach only uses his new powers for good and not evil!
