8 Year Old MMA Prodigy
Move over, BJ Penn, here comes Nainoa Dung. 8 years old and weighing in at probably about 60lbs, Nainoa fights out of Wahiawa, HI. Man, if I could do this when I was in second grade I’m sure the other kids would’ve been a lot nicer to me. I bet none of the kids mess with him even though his last name is Dung. Here’s a writeup on Nainoa at MMA Hawaii. And now a video with Nainoa demonstrating “MMA, his favorite of all the martial art”. Yes, there’s only one.
I’m not exactly sure how I feel about 8 year olds doing MMA. On the one hand it’s good because it teaches kids to really understand what violence is at an early age. My personal belief is that understanding violence is the means to avoiding it. On the other hand, kids may not be able to really exhibit the control that in most cases comes from experience.
