Also why did he need to learn what it was like to be choked out anyway? It adds no combative benefit for him to know that, because if he's recovering from a choke it's likely that the fight has ended already. I don't understand why it was necessary at all.
Lastly there's a thing against father teaching their children. It usually doesn't work out well at all. Many masters who tried ended up with mediocre leveled children. I heard of masters who would just flat out refuse to teach their children even. I would find a school for your son rather than teaching him yourself. Maybe send him to the school you learned from and have him be a training partner than a student.
Troll or not...if you're an experienced martial artist and if you know how to resuscitate him I see no problem with this. BUT if your son don't want you do it then don't do it even though you already did. It's not his fault for being angry at you.
On another note it does help you think during that short time before you fall asleep about how and what you SHOULD do to avoid it. So it's a bad and a good thing that you're showing him first hand but you shouldn't take him by surprise. To the other ignorant people who only view this story as an abuse you guys need to get yourself in a martial art class. The only way to defend yourself is to know what the assailant is doing and learn to react accordingly. Most people think they got things covered when they actually choke a lot and forget what to do in the assault.
You did it for your sons well being but the way how you did made you into a idjit.
I second everyone else.
Here's your dumb@ss father of the year award.
Okay you are crazy. Go seek help. You are a total psycho. You are actually harming your own child. You should never hurt him. Just show him the way it is done. Don't actually do it to him dumbass.
You won't win "father of the year" I can tell you that much.
This has to be a troll
You do not need to know what it feels like to be put to sleep, you are trying to teach them to avoid that, not trying to show them what it feels like... you are a dumb f#@k
Yes it is
And it's also ok if he calls the police and has you arrested for assault and child endangerment.
If he tells one of his school teaches what you did you may be busted by the police of social services
Not really
no.
My kid is 12. I've been teaching combat sports to him and now w. Anyway the other i decided to demonstrate to him what it felt like to be knocked down (to sleep) with a chokehold. Yet he didn't want me to do it. He protested so i pretended to agree with him and said we wouldn't do it, and when he got distracted by something else i grabbed him from behind and put him in a sleeperhold while telling him to relax and continued 'till he passed out. He woke up a few moments later but now is angry with me and i told him all i was trying to teach him was how it felt. Did I do wrong? Are there are other fathers out there who teach martial arts to their kids and while training knocked out or showed them what it felt like? Thank you for your responses
