[Vision2020] AND THE BEAT GOES ON!

[g. crabtree]

The combative sports (boxing, judo, karate, wrestling, etc.) result in far fewer injury's than football, rock climbing, skate boarding, mountain biking and skiing at the amateur level. Even cheer leading results in more emergency room visits! Would you have every "sport" that is potentially dangerous be eliminated from the extracurricular activities list?

In an aside to Ms. Mix: Just because one engages in these pastimes does not mean that you will be out looking to "beat anyone up." Also, should the need arise I can assure you that no amount of "verbal smackdown" will protect a person from a determined and belligerent adversary. No matter how sharp a persons communication skills are they are most assuredly not the equal of  "a roundhouse punch to the kidneys" as unlikely as that particular technique might be.  All boys should be given some exposure to at least a basic understanding of self defense.

  Boxing is a very dangerous activity and not the type of "sport" that should be encouraged by schools.  And parents should have more sense than to allow their kids to be treated worse than a chicken or a dog.
