Team MMA. You can skip ahead to the 2:00 mark. Don't let the dancing girls at the beginning fool you. They're not all that.

When I was a kid we had 3 sets of boxing gloves and 6 neighbor kids always hanging out at my house. Everyone got one glove. We invented this years ago. The back of the head sucker punches were epic at times.

That was dumb as shit.

I would watch this.

We did the same, but we only had one pair between the neighbor and me. So we had to switch who got the left handed glove every other fight. When he finally got his own pair, it was on. I suspect that nowadays, parents would be arrested for child abuse if they got boxing gloves for their kids, so they could have fights in the basement. And that's why this country's fucked up now.

Yep. We got creative after a while and threw a basketball in that we could kick at each other. The only real injury came from that bright Idea. The neighbor got his nose busted real bad:lol:

That's brilliant. At one point, we decided to allow pushing and wrestling. Probably as a result of Saturday mornings watching Chief Jay Strongbow, Ivan Putski The Polish Hammer, and Bob Bachlund having it out. Now that I think about it, we beat UFC to MMA by about 20 years.

My friend of 45 years came to visit me this fall.
We had bottle rocket fights, yard dart fights, snow ball fights, dirt clod fights, boxed, wrestled, and had some BB gun fights. We are still friends.

Nobody had gloves in the neighborhood I grew up in. It was real fights every time. Usually on a trampoline. The spin kicks to the head were brutal some times.

Turn the best part of a hockey game into a tv show.

Brilliant...

Reminds me of Northstars/Blackhawks games as a kid.

My grade-school rival was one weird dude. Very highly competitive kid and he could not handle losing. Beat his ass I don't know how many times.

One summer he disappeared all summer and that fall he invited me to come over to his house and 'box'.
He boxed the hell out of me. Him and his dad had been boxing all summer long.
The next Monday at school he announced he thought he could take me and I whipped the shit out of him again one more time. When I was holding him down bloodying his face I whispered in his ear..."this is for them boxing lessons".

Oh, there's more. 15 years later my rival and I ended up on the same job. We were sheeting a roof and that silly dummy really messed it up. You know how when your doing the last row of plywood at the top? He got to the top row and we had another 18" to go. He pulled every single truss over and nailed it on the wrong side of the line...worked his ass off doing it and I told him just just let the trusses "run wild" the last row because if you start pulling and pushing them, from below it looks like hell. I had to go do something else and left him to finish.
Later at the end of the day my boss would show up with a case of the coldest beer in town. (every day)
We had a lot of fun picking apart old Donny's work that day. The next day he was gone. The next time I saw him he worked at the lumber yard. I kicked that guys ass without even trying.

I like that they can kick and stomp their opponents on the ground.

You have to know you are fucked when someone on your team is the first to go down.

Something about your statement...
Your fucked when your teammate goes down.
Sucked?

Nope. You are reaching pretty far on that one.

I managed to kick a kid's braces through his cheek one time doing this. It kinda hurt my heel.

one of those good ideas that just flat out sucks after you try it.
