    This young boy is really good. it brings me back to when I use to breakdance.
    Parents be cautious, If you want a clone of yourself, put your face on a Xerox machine and run off a few copies. But let your kids be themselves. of course I'm talking to myself.

      I believe regardless of what a parent wants for their child at this age (long as it's not to physically or mentally harm them but grow their minds) It doesn't make the child weak it gives the child a way to be disciplined if he is not listening in any other way you teach him or she. But it's best to lead them while they are very young like this. I applaud any parent that is doing their best as long as it's a way to discipline them in a positive way so when they get older they understand what positive disciplinging is and not beat it into the child. It may or may not keep your child from getting into trouble but it will raise him up to be better and great and help others.

      parent to parent I have a child which his father says practice with him doing pushups. My son loves to move, jump and try different dangerous things as the acrobats and gymnasts does and so I agreed he do pushups because it will build up his upper strength to do his hand stands. He also is doing other exercises so when it hurts I tell him in order to move like you do you need to exercise and exercise hurts. we only do 10 of each twice a week. I try not to kill him but i do try and push him. he tends to like jumping all over the place and make the living room out of his playground. The best way to keep him from destroying and tearing up stuff around the house is by introducing him to these friendly and proactive sports so it teaches him how to stay in a positive routine and will be good for disciplining him.

      If they do powermoves and their body and mind isn't prepared that will be the outcome. So do calisthenics training and bboying
