That kid's got 'tude!! I love his swagger - and his mohawk. He's a phenom all right, a future Matt Hughes.

Nice find.

Wow, he's got some moves!

He looked like a mini-Matt with those slams. I wonder what Matt would look like with a mohawk?

I dunno, Bonnie...maybe it's cuter on 8-year olds...I'd do a photoshop and we could see?

Then again, I don't want to get in trouble with the management.

I was just teasing, Flo; although, I guess you could always photoshop Mark.

Looks like some solid Judo to me,

tee hee

Now THERE's an idea...

I thought it was a little sad to watch personally... but that's just me.

A lot of kids he was wrestling probably had little to no wrestling experience. I guess I don't see what's impressive about a little phenom who's obviously been well coached from a very early age thrashing little kids who are just learning the sport.

I would enjoy watching him in High School or college though. I'm sure he's got a very good future ahead of him.

That's what I thought! A few of throws throws looked like stuff I've seen in my Kids Judo class! He was very quick and very technical!

Supposedly these are championship wrestling matches with other kids at similar experience levels; but it really is hard to come up with an objective opinion since it's clearly a highlight reel video designed to sell this kid as a phenom.
