I just read the announcement of the Gateway International Championships,
and it made me wonder........ 

I read the webpages about the championship, and I
noticed they arrange sparring competitions for children. Now, I'm not from
the USA, and the thought of young kids, from the age 10 and below, 
sparring is alien to me. 

Are you actually sending kids with foamed protection equipment into the
"ring"? 

I might be ignorent to what kind of sparring rules you apply in the
states, but I'm wondering, are my presumptions correct? 

In either case, could someone explain to me the philosophy behind such
practise, considering I'm not an american  :)
