A Father's Proudest Moments, The Making Of A Fighter

Steemians Sometimes you don't have to look very far to see your true reflection, today I learned that more so that i can explain on a blog.

Please Dad let me pleaseeeee...

For multiple weeks now Logan my 6 year old son has been bugging me, about letting him be a fighter like his Daddy use to be and I decided why the hell not I never wish pain or hardship on any of my children but this would also be a great learning experience anyway. Logan has built up in his head that fighting is basically like the movies or similar to a T.V show but in all actuality its far from it in everyway. So I called up a local m.m.a (mixed martial art) gym for fighters of all ages and once I got the go a head we got there to the gym for a 6:30pm - 7:00pm introduction for juniors class and brief intro to other students looking to try a new style of fighting.

The instructor has worked with multiple fighters from voth the u.f.c and bellator and he complemented Logan telling me how once my son figures out the purpose in standing and swinging the ways he did he was able to cause some serious pressure behind his punches and kicks, this alone brought a smile to my face to learn that at 6 years old my son wanted to follow in my foot steps and even though he learned that fighting isnt like the movies he still wanted to partake and succeed well that was a dream come true. I've decided since my son wants to be a fighter as long as it doesnt mess with school and his health which it should be a heslthy thing hes doing anyway that I will 100% support him and carry any and all fiancials towards it until he decides tk stand down drom thi idea of his or just gets burnt out. Though I don't forsee that happening anytime soon.

Just incase you forget
