This site is dedicated to health , fitness and taking care of your body.

Our aim is to have all dangerous sports banned.

Dangerous sports include any activity where damage to the body is a significant possibility. e.g. where the aim is to defeat your opponent by physical attack or brute force. This includes, but is certainly not limited to, ALL forms of boxing and martial arts, contact sports such as Rugby and Gridiron and any high impact sport.

These so-called ‘sports’ are maiming and killing kids.

We ask for your support for our campaign to ban dangerous sports and promote fitness and genuinely healthy lifestyles.

What you can do to help

The most obvious thing is:

Do not participate in, or allow your children to participate in, any dangerous sport.

However, there are many other ways that people unthinkingly give their tacit support to these activities. Please ensure that you

·        NEVER act as a supporter of any sport that damages the body.

·         NEVER participate in dangerous sport training sessions ‘just to keep fit’. There are plenty of other ways to keep fit besides this. Even if you’re not participating in the actual sport itself, you are lending it your support, which is just as bad.

·        NEVER wear clothing that advertises, or in any way endorses, dangerous sports (e.g. garments bearing club colours, or logos associated with dangerous sports or related organisations).

·         NEVER boost the ratings for TV broadcasts of dangerous sports by watching them.

Put simply, if you claim to be interested in health and fitness, but participate in, promote or support a sport that damages the human body, then you are a hypocrite.

You can also help by adding your name to our supporter list (see elsewhere on this page). There is no cost or obligation involved. Our sole aim is to show that there is widespread support for the banning of dangerous sports. In the future, we may produce a free newsletter. We guarantee that your name, and the e-mail address that you give us, will never be used for any other purpose.

A Personal Experience

When I was 14, I was chosen to represent my region as a sprinter at the State Athletics Championships. The day before I was to travel to Sydney for this event, my high school class had a Physical Education lesson that involved wrestling. Before the lesson began, the teacher, a man supposedly dedicated to health and fitness, addressed the class, saying, “Rob is excused from participating today because we don’t want him getting injured before the State Titles.”

Even at the tender age of 14, the hypocrisy of this remark was not lost on me. I have been totally opposed to all dangerous sports ever since.

Now, at the age of 58, people say that I look less than half my age. Although not a sports participant, I have kept myself physically fit and maintained a healthy diet. I have never had a sports injury; I do not suffer from aches, pains, arthritis or joint trouble. I have no major health problems, take no medication and rarely need to consult a doctor.

I am not a fitness or diet fanatic. I simply do regular exercise and don’t abuse, or allow anyone else to abuse, my body.

When I look at people of similar age to me – people with whom I went to school – I am horrified. Quite apart from poor diet, consumption of dangerous substances and lack of exercise, I see the results of misspent youth: painful, damaged joints, hip and knee replacements (from Rugby League injuries), brain impairment and early on-set Alzheimer’s disease (from martial arts injuries), quadriplegia (from a motocross injury), spinal damage (from an Australian Rules football injury), to name but a few. These are people who, as kids, were physically fitter than I was. Unfortunately, in their youth, they failed to learn one vital lesson: sport and fitness are not the same thing.

Go figure!
