Not visited any of the kids full or not threads recently but on Friday my 13 year old went training with his mum and sister and the Sensei decided that as he & his sister has to do 25 fights for their 1st Kyu in December they should do a quick 10 man kumite at the end.

Now I know for Kyokushin they don't look bad, I probably have at least this amount of bruising on me fairly constantly but the question is, is this acceptable on a 13 year old? He is cool about it but his thighs hurt so much he's not up to doing a semi contact tournament this afternoon (am still am bargaining with him but at present he won't budge).

I am also not so bothered (wife was fuming) but.... if he went into school on Monday and said I'd bruised him this much I'd have two Coppers on my door step before night fall and social services to explain my actions to so can it be acceptable that he gets injuries like this in a normal class, this was not in a tournament or even a knockdown class where as far as I'm concerned you get no the mat and take whatever, this was in normal class and most of the damage was done by adults.
