How do I get my 10 year old brother into UFC/MMA?

[RockyLockridge]

Hi.

looking for Insight from some users who may have kids around the age of my younger brother, (born 2014). My Younger brother is very into sports. He's super athletically inclined and dominates in all sports he plays. He plays hockey, Basketball, and baseball most competitively.

I want to use inception tactics to influence him into making his rich grandparents pay for Martial arts training. (instead of playing stupid sports ball) He's bigger and stronger than any 10 year I think I've ever seen in my life, and with his athletic abilities and his mental dominance I think he could do very well, as well as keep him in peak shape. he's got a very competitive (this kid CANNOT stand losing, He's lost before but it right miffs him)

He got into all these other sports he plays by watching them growing up as a child (our dad is big into basketball, his grandfather is old white and Canadian so pays for the hockey ), Last weekend I bought him an xbox series x so he could play NHL with his friends, I was thinking maybe I should try to get him to play the UFC game with me, But im afraid it'll turn him off because the game is dog shit.

how can I get him interested? If you have kids how do you get them interested? (if you want them interested) I didn't get interested until Early adult hood (2010), because I wasn't exposed to it earlier. Fights are usually happening past his bed time and I don't live with him.

Tell him to heel hook a kid at recess

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Have him watch the entire PRIDE Bushido series in order

Why are his rich grandparents not your rich grandparents?

Go and get CTE first, then show him.

He'd say something precious like "hook him? but my hockey stick is at home...."

 

[darcandkharg]

Twist him up, eventually he'll have to fight back

We have different mothers, But my father is jamaican so of course he had to have a kid at age 48 smdh

[SomethingCringetastic]

Wake him up with ass whippings every morning

If he's really as talented as you say, then keep him the hell away from MMA lol. Let him try his hand at all the other sports you listed.

Tell him he has much yet to learn, like he can hook without a stick, he will be intrigued. You have to plant these seeds

 

[Serge421]

Show him Conor

never the less bro, you owe it to him to get CTE first!!

 

[Bubzeh]

Take him to an Invicta event.

 

[Tayski]

Take him to an MMA gym with you.

Otherwise show him some highlights videos of very skilled fighters you like watching.

 

[ninja boot]

MMA takes a whole lot more than just being a good athlete.
Unwavering self-confidence, acknowledgement that you're going to take continuous damage, deal with injury and clear indication that your brother is the type that likes to fight would be the bare minimum.
The best way to start would be to get him involved in wrestling which will uncover whether he has many of the traits required to be successful.

He's good. I dont want him to play those other sports because I dont enjoy them personally lol. His competitive spirit is very strong this is him at the end of his last baseball season, he had the most strike outs, most base hits and highest hit% of anyone in his league. In hockey he has to play with the 11-13s because it's unfair. He hates it too because it's too easy.

Mayor Oliva chow saw my brother playing at a baseball tournament and complimented my dad on how incredible he was for his age.

Why would you want him to get into a sport where he loses braincells and if he makes it big at most he'll be making what baseball/basketball/hockey players spend in one month at nightclubs and restaurants?

Get him to watch you training or join in with you.

Also if he is good at other sports, let him be good at those sports. He is 10.
Specializing at that age in sport isn;t needed.

You are an idiot if you want your brother to get into a sport where even guys at the top end up broke when he is showing promises in sports where if you reach the top you could amass such wealth that his entire family would be taken care of.
