You are an evil uncle! You remind me of my brother, we went through this when my kids were small. If his parents don't want him to learn those things, then it is wrong. What you teach your own children (if you have any) is up to you, but you have no business teaching other people's, even if he is your nephew, if you don't have his parents' permission. I'm sure you love him and have a lot of fun with him, and I bet he's crazy about you, but what if he gets seriously hurt? What if he breaks his neck and ends up paralyzed? You have to think about this stuff, and maybe rent more videos (G Rated!)

Do you teach him any discipline or responsibility to go with his new fighting skills? Otherwise you're just giving a weapon to a little kid. Teach him it's never OK to hit people and that the greatest fighter is the one who never has to throw a punch. Peace brother.

Then you can explain to the teacher why he punched out his classmates. Don't get me wrong I encourage kids to be able to defend themselves but at that age they don't know the difference. I would wait a few more years for the fighting part of it till he understands right from wrong. Break dancing is ok for him at any age.My lil niece is 1 and she bops her head to the music and its adorable lol.

"it is hilarious watching him try and hurt himself." Shame on you. My granddaughter dances on our NBA and WNBA hip hop crew with kids as young as 3. The break dancers crew are all over 10 years old so that should tell you something right there.

Teaching a 4yr old to fight is just plain STUPID. Trying to create a school bully are you? Try some MATURITY before teaching that SH*T. It's a great way to screw him up and it says ALOT about you.....

It is only wrong if you're doing it just to teach him how to be a bullying asshole.
But if it is for self deffence then no.
Although he is a little to young to know what is right and what is wrong. It might just confuse him.

nicely...........in my view, i don't see something incorrect in coaching a 6 twelve months old boxing and wreck dancing in case you apart from could instruct him appreciate so he would not attempt to punch out each and every toddler he's provided in touch with. yet................the element is.........your sis IS the mother. you're able to appreciate her desires for her son. consistent with danger finally she'll come around and assist you to instruct him some strikes. :)
