Didn't the Indians toughen up their young'ns by making them break the ice and sit in creeks during the winter? It's winter--get at it.

RU Crazy??? Don't start him off with Chuck. Start him off with Squatdog and have him work his way up through John Wayne, Sam Peckingpaugh, Lee Marvin, Bruce Lee, Clint Eastwood, Mike Tyson, the Army Rangers, First Recon then have him start training for Chuck.

Look at how Jackie Chan turned out after his parents sold him to the Chinese Opera Research Institute!
That guy's almost as tough as the Chuck*. * Please note that I said "almost". |

They would also have them run naked through briar patches to learn to ignore pain. Some tuff people I would say. |

I think 5 is a little young to start, but around 10 I'd have him start doing martial arts.

What's wrong with being an Army SEAL?? I was an Army SEAL for several years doing a lot of covert stuff all over the world. Being able to work at a gunstore is just one of the perks to being a trained killing machine. You're just jealous because you have a soft kid. |

If he started around 10, he would have missed several years of training that in my opinion is most effective while they're young. I'd say get him started in martial arts training soon, with a reputable instructor. That would be a good foundation. |

Seriously, around here there's several places for young kids to learn martial arts. Mine started at 5 in a more "fun" orientated one. At six he's a little Cun Tao machine. Kids dig the animal styles. It's a mix between being a Power Ranger and a Jedi Knight. They don't have to be older to learn, and it helps them burn off some of that extra energy.  |

Army SEALs are pansies. When I was a screen door gunner on the nuclear submarine USS Codfish, I whipped seven ARMY SEALs at once, and I had a liver fluke problem to boot. I was awarded the purple star and the silver heart for my service on the USS Ronald Reagan back in 1983. |

At 10 he's missed several vital years of martial arts training?  Damn are you Lee Van Cleef or something? Guess I'm not stealing that guy's Lee Van Cleef picture Whoops there he is, damn ninjas. |

Maybe. It just seemed that while I was studying Bushidokan the kids that were that young didn't really learn too much. They were more interested in messing around. I guess if your kid will pay attention and try to learn then get him started now. |

All you need are an oak tree, chainsaw, lathe, baling wire, and nails. Toughened my boy right up.

A couple of years ago, here in Austin there was a guy who was slapping his son around because he "didn't want him to him to grow up to be a punk".
The kid was about 18 months old... the baby died after getting one too many power shots  Be careful about what you wish for  At least no one ever called the kid a punk!

The easiest way to make Pugil sticks for kids...
1/2 or 3/4 inch PVC pipe wrapped in PVC insulation wrapped liberally in duct tape. Use thick wall pipe to make sure it doesn't break and turn into a Pointy stick. You can leave areas uncovered in insulation for handles and wrapped in grip tape. You can make play swords this way, also. I've seen people make arrows this way out of golf tubes for low weight bows. I learned this stuff in the SCA, where the kids wanted to swordfight like their parents, but their parents didn't want kids whacking on each other with sticks. |

That's how I made them when I was a kid. Smallest diameter thickwall PVC pipe (~3/4" OD I think) with the matching size foam pipe insulation, and wrapped in duct tape. That kind of construction would probably be too flexible for pugil stick length devices though, but worked well for nightstick/rifle/PR24 length stuff. If you want full length pugil sticks, maybe wooden closet dowels with the pipe insulation/duct tape, and a nerf basketball at the end? ETA: The grey conduit type PVC seems tougher than the water pipe type, a little more flexible and less likely to crack or chip. |

I got knocked out in Army Basic by a pugil stick. 2 on 1. Duked number one, and number two got me with an upper cut.
Good times. |

You want it to be flexible so it absorbs the impact, if it's wood wrapped in foam, it's going to hurt and leave a mark. Then DHS might be calling you. Heck, we had lots of fights with FunNoodles in the pool where someone left crying. It's made of the same foam that pipe insulation is made of, just without the UV protectant. I thought about putting some PVC in a Fun Noodle, they are lots thicker than pipe insulation, but they do fall apart in the sun.

now whats funny on this is i used to run R/C subs ( and i was on the real ones too ) a guy named dave merriman made movie models of subs, on one of the crimson tide subs ( iirc but he also did the hunt for red oct ) he put a screen door on the side of the sail. funny shot to see a highly accurate maodel with a screen door in scale. |
