DRENO said

Parked my truck today to eat my lunch and read a mopar mag.Noticed a group of kids from a nearby school gathered together in a small field bout 75 yards off the main drag.Well i watched for a few seconds and then realized they were watching a couple of guys going at it trying to knock the crap out of each other.Maybe some of the young members here could tell me if this is a common thing in there area.We all seen the fight movies,but I thought that was for older guys.These kids were about 15-16 years old.Well I watched for about a minute and then went back to my mag,more interesting.8)

I'm a high school teacher and can confirm that what you saw happens quite often out here in SoCal. With the whole "Ultimate Fighter" and UFC craze taking place kids are really enthralled by the fight scene. So what they do is they find a quiet place, or a friends house with a nice backyard, and stage their own fights. I've had kids try to show me their fights they saved on their camera phones. Funny thing is many of these kids are also the biggest "tough guys" on campus and even try to intimidate teachers. Well once they learn that I've been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu myself for about eight years and have trained with guys who actually fight in bigger venues, they sort of tone down the tough guy image and actually focus on learning in my class.
