Hi,

What advice does the Quran give to young men who wish to become fighters?

Thanks.

Salam,
 
In my opinion I think Islam does not encourage this kind of sport.
Salam/Peace,

Waalikoumsalaam,

How so?

My teacher tells me it's about having fun, getting some exercise and knowing how to defend yourself if you're attacked.

Anyway I took out the kickboxing link. I realize it was irrelevant.

Nothing wrong with having fun and knowing to defend yourself, however this kind of competiton is very cruel. Chicken fight and dog fight (other animal cruelty), are illegal in the US and many other countries, but human fight like this, that have very limited rule to protect the fighter is permited?

Yeah, I see what you're saying. But keep in mind though that there are less injuries in this sport than there is in, say, European football.
