The abuse and power dynamics of that sport make some other sports look normal.

We moved our son out of a karate dojo because the sensei was using corporeal punishment on the 8, 9 year old kids who weren't paying attention or messed up. Other parents pulled their kids too.
The dojo he's at now manages to be popular, effective, and disciplined without striking kids when they mess up.
