Siblings in MMA
I just came across this article:
…Sibling rivalry is something everyone is familiar with. Whether it was a brother or sister growing up, or even a close friend where a competitive edge was always present in all activities, the urge to defeat and compete is present in everyone. At the same time, however, when it is someone so close there is a degree of care that goes with the territory.
This is not something lost on MMA. Unusually, you won’t find any of the brotherly pairs from mixed martial arts competing with each other. In some of the pairs of brothers examined for this piece, there seems to be one brother that stands out from the other ….MORE…
Now, while I’m the only person in my family who does BJJ, my kids will often spar at our local karate dojo. In the beginning, I made certain not to allow them to spar against one another (one was always superior to the other and didn’t know how to control techniques), but now…I’m pleased to say my single-digit boys and double-digit girls can go against each other without me having to worry about it carrying over into our home life.
It’s interesting to witness - the older boy without fail constantly knocks down the younger one and then pounds on him when he’s on the ground. But recently, I’ve noticed my younger one has finally gotten tired of being a punching bag…and he now proactively tries to counter. I’m looking forward to the day the younger one actually wins a point match; he’s well on his way to learning to achieve that goal.
