Kickboxing

What is it with the popularity of this "activity?" Kickboxing storefronts are opening as fast as nail salons were a few years ago, and their popularity seems to be following the same bizarro path. Unfathomable. Ridiculous.

Why such a harsh reaction you ask? Let me start by asking today's parents: why in the world would you send your kids to these places? Isn't today's over-emphasis on sports enough extracurricular activity? Trying to wear out your ADHD-riddled spawn? I trust you're not raising your kids to solve problems via physical confrontation.

I've checked around the Societé membership - we begrudgingly admit that with the reductions in the military, some semblance of physical training can only help. But these "studios" SHOULD include 5-mile hikes with 40 pound packs strapped to their backs.

Far more aerobic and far less barbaric.
