Our boys are 4 & 2, and they love love love to wrestle, kick, hit, bite, push, punch etc. until one gets hurt. No matter how many times you take away their toys and do time-outs they continue to fight, they just love to do it even though they know one will get hurt... fighting amuses them, it's their favorite thing to do. What can I do I've tried nearly everything?

Show/tell them the dangers of such violent behaviour, limit watching violent television shows and movies, no violent video games or music. They are not ages where its easy for them to distinguish between reality and fantasy so they see stunts on tv and think its ok.
A little spanking is not a bad idea for bad behaviour either. They need discipline beyond timeouts when timeouts dont work but refrain from using a spanking to vent your frustration because that is not the reason for spanking them. The reason is to teach them discipline not vent stress. Hence the difference between discipline and abuse.

Trying putting them into some form of martial arts class. It will burn their energy and teach them discipline at the same time. Plus, they'll enjoy being able to yell and kick without getting into trouble. The most important thing then is to make sure they don't try to use their moves on each other (which they're bound to do before they learn the respect their sport requires). Tell them that if they don't behave you will pull them out of the class. If they like fighting as much as you say they do, they're bound to enjoy the class and won't want to miss it.

You allow them to punch,bite,scream and act like wild monkeys, they will do as they know that you allow. Their fighting amuses others, not them. As long as they have an active and participating audience, they will do whatever draws or attracts the attention. That is the nature of children.
The parents have to put an end to the fighting.

You need to lay down the law. Your husband should be forceful (not abusively) Find an activity that requires and rewards teamwork. This problem arises on the TV nanny shows alot ( FOX and ABC), try watching them

My son and daughter fought regularly. I did all those things as well. Finally a wet wash cloth with soap rubbed onto it did the trick.

Don't bathe them together they will hate. Keep them out of the same room as they grow up if you already did this.
