Kids in a cage is a raw look at kids aspiring to become future MMA fighters. It shows the tale of two kids training, working hard and cutting their teeth to hopefully someday compete against the best. Some moments can be tough to watch as no one wants to see kids trading hands. Martial arts and mixed martial arts does teach kids the principles of discipline, competition, focus, work ethic and perseverance. The world is not all sunshine and roses, life will not hand anything to you, these kids are learning what it will take to succeed going forward. It's not about the fighting, they are developing mental fortitude, inner strength and realizing early on that life is not going to hand you anything. Trophies, awards, and promotions should be EARNED and not just given just because. Many will say the parents are wrong for allowing their kids to compete but I would disagree. These parents can get a little obsessive and compulsive about things because their totally invested in their children's progress and future but sometimes that can come at a cost that the child must bear. As Carl Jung once said, "The greatest burden a child must bear is the unlived life of its parents." It's a worthwhile watch, it's a conversation provoking watch, it can make you a bit uncomfortable at times but at the end of the day, competition WILL make children stronger and better adults as they'll be able to handle life's challenges, rewards and setbacks. MMA is not for everyone. Some parents will associate it ignorantly as the same thing as raising fighting dogs. For them - I can only disagree and say - "that's your perspective" and I hope you enjoy your trophy labelled "entitled."
